Dear Kay (and your Village of Strider Supporters),
Congratulations on Strider's coveted R.O.M. title. What a great day for
you, his breeder Bobbie Kindy and the rest of the team.
I'm so sorry Stormy - I try not to break rules and I know "congrats" should
be private - I'm just so happy to see a living dog achieve all these working
and conformation titles, and now one that stamps his producing ability!

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] WOW - Pending ROM for Strider
I don't think I have ever been so excited over a major reserve in my
life, but today's major reserve was very special as "pending
confirmation" Strider completed his ROM! So now GCh. Rohan's Reward
TC,CGC,HT,RE,CDX,CHIC can add another set of initials to his name.
His son Magnum, Covy Tucker Hill's Fireworks of Showboat, won his
9-12 class and then went Reserve Winner's Dog for a major reserve. In
the winners, Magnum was moved up to second and all I could think of
was, right now I don't care about the points, I just would like the
reserve! So when the judge pointed to Magnum for the reserve, I
jumped, screamed, whatever for joy. I am sure the non GSD people
thought I was crazy for getting so excited about a reserve! LOL Thank
you to judge Peri Norman who judged the Coyote Hills KC show in
Northern California.
There are so many people to thank as it really takes a village to make
some of these wonderful things happen.
First and foremost to my wonderful friend and handler, Art Sinclair
who not only finished Strider for both his Championship and his Grand
Championship, as a veteran, but who has always been so supportive of
Strider both as a show dog and as a stud dog. Art has also been the
one at the helm in finishing the majority of Strider's champions and
qualifiers. I still remember the day that he and Linda went up to see
the litter of puppies at Bobby Kindy's place and called me and said
you better go up and get this one.
To the late Janice Staley, who was the first to really see Strider's
attributes and the strength of his pedigree, followed by Cappy Pottle
and Gloria Birch who also saw what he could contribute to their
breeding program. To Bobby Kindy for breeding Strider, who is indeed
my heart dog and has not failed me in all the venues in which we have
participated. To Chris Simmons and Tracy Radigan, Lissa Cunningham, &
Paul Root who also bred to him and produced progeny that helped
Strider achieve his ROM. And to the other breeders who have Strider
kids that are just starting their show careers. Thank you to the
owners of the Strider kids who showed them. Thanks to Debbie Hopkins
who has trained and conditioned some of Strider's progeny and who also
grooms his kids and has taken them back into the ring and put points
on them. To Bill Petterson, who co-owns three of Strider's kids with
me for his support through out this whole process. To Karen Taylor who
also has been very supportive of Strider and his progeny and has given
me great advice when I have asked for it.
Geesh, I am sure I am forgetting someone but I am a little excited so
please accept my apology if I may have missed you. This is my first
ROM on a dog that lives with me and is my dog. (I was the co-owner on
the others) A big thank you to ringside who were so great in sharing
my excitement and giving me hugs and kisses. It was great to do this
at a local major show where all my friends were there and knew what it
meant when the judge pointed to Magnum for the reserve. I wish some
of my special out of town friends could have been there, but I made
sure that they heard the news!
Doing a major ROM dance in Oakland, California!!!!!
