I am so proud to announce that Ch. RiverRock's Hotel California won High Scoring Breed Champion in herding at the National on Wednesday!!!! Callie was trained and handled by Kim Schneider, who was kind enough to come to the National with me to trial her. Callie also picked up her second qualifier for Started on Course A Sheep! This was such a thrill for us! Callie's son, RiverRock's Jack of Hearts, won 1st 6-9 puppy at the Tuesday specialty, and his sister RiverRock's Straight From the Heart (Sera Jane) took fourth 6-9 puppy bitch on Tuesday as well. Kent handled Jack and Fano handled Sera Jane on Tuesday. Jack was not shown at the National. Sera Jane was handled by Kelly Salava. Even though she did not place, Kelly did a great job with her and I was pleased with Sera's spirit and performance. The puppies are sired by Hudson . While this was my 12 National, it was the first time that I had anything entered. It was so exciting to see dogs that I bred compete in both conformation and herding at the National for the first time!!!! Zoa Dr. Zoa Rockenstein www.riverrockshepherds.com Home of Ch.
