    It is with a heavy heart that I have to post the death of our sweetest boy of all, Cruz.  Cruz contracted Canine Influenza which then infected his lungs.  He passed away because of complications of pneumonia after only 12 hours of illness.   He was only 3 1/2 years old.  He was the best boy and our hearts are breaking.  Until me meet again sweet Cruz......

    Obie continues his winning ways, with owner/handler Becky Nelson, winning a Group Three today under Judge Col Joe Purkhiser at the Concho Kennel Club show in San Angelo, TX!

  • Obie had a great year!

    December 2013
    Obie finished the year as #17 ridgeback in the nation (breed and all-breed) and owner/handler Becky Nelson was ranked as the #6 owner-handler in the country for 2013.  Way to go guys - you did us proud this year!

    Photo: Good boy, Obie!  I'm so very proud of my boy, GCh KODA'S MIGHTY MAN OF VALOR CGC!  With quite a handicap (me as his novice handler!!), he finished 2013 as the #17 Rhodesian Ridgeback in the nation (Breed and All Breed)!  He finished #6 Owner Handled RR -  and we only competed in the final six months of the competition!  We had a blast and I am overwhelmed by the patient and kind support we received inside and outside of the show ring by professionals and other amateurs alike.  My heartfelt thanks to  Alice Caplinger and Neil McDevitt for this terrific dog.  I love him to pieces!
