Ch Cimarron's Kracklin' Rosie TC OFA celebrates her 11th birthday today, just 2 1/2 weeks after taking 3rd place in the 9-11 veteran bitch class at our National Specialty under judge Dan Smith. Rosie was presented wonderfully by Gina Mills. Rosie was the oldest GSD competing in conformation at this year's National. Rosie's sire is Ch Windwalker's Jolly Roger ROM OFA and her dam is my first ROM: Kingdom's Tornado ROM OFA (exc). Rosie was Jolly Roger's 30th Champion when she finished in December of 2002 (herself, already being a veteran). Rosie also passed the Temperament Test, that was given on Tuesday at this year's National. http://www.cimarron-gsd.com/Dogs/rosie.html Rosie and Gina are in pictures 12 and 13 at: http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?eventthumbs?event=0EUQ002E Question: The National premium list stated that this class was the Nine and over veterans class, but the catalog referred to this class as the 9 to 11 veterans class. If she had celebrated her 11th birthday 3 weeks sooner, WAS SHE TOO OLD TO COMPETE? /steve d.
