Howdy....
Thanks
for stopping by to meet me. I guess I should start at the beginning.
I
was being thought about by my mom(s) for 25 years (so they tell me
now). I was actually conceived at MRC the night my mommy Munchie
went BISS. My daddy Rand
took an AOM that same day! MRC has kinda been a family
"thing" for us...... as you can see below, I had LOTS to
live up to!

They
always told me I was "destined" to win MRC .... so, I
DID! I was just 22 months old the first time!
(Everyone was SO happy, they kept kissing me and hugging me.... it
was kinda embarrassing!). They tell me I come from a LONG line of
Specialty winning AND producing kin. You can see them all on my pedigree page.
Following
in our family tradition of MRC, my son CHISUM just won it this
year!! (2006) He makes our THIRD generation BISS at
MRC! He has his own page on my site now, cuz he wants to
be like his daddy!! We are good buds, Chisum and me... we play
together, sleep together and get along great. He helps me out
with the chores around here. Kinda nice havin' some help!
Gramma Munchie is still the BOSS.....and we BOTH know it! Mom
says she keeps us BOTH in line! Click here to see my son Chisum's
page and what's happening with him!
My
show career has been lots of fun and very exciting, but I think all
the details are kind of boring to write about, so if you want to know
more, you can look on my Belt
Knotches page, or at some of my pictures on my Slide
Show! And if thats not enough info, my mommy Pam will
be glad to give you more! (Good grief.... the humans really do love
talking about this stuff!!).
If
you want to know what *I* like about showing, I'll tell ya! I
like the nice warm bath and massage I get before the show and all the
fussing! I don't even mind my pedicure!!
And when I'm all
clean, I try to always remember to thank the girls.
(Mommy Pam taught
me very good manners!!!)
I
LOVE the rides to the shows... we always have such fun, my mommy
Munchie always comes along to supervise! (Sometimes she can get REAL
bossy tho, especially when people get to close to our car....).
I LOVE when we get to the shows, and I get to stay in the hotels and
see all my friends....human and doggy!
My
mommy Pam says I am a regular social butterfly, what ever that
means!! I like all the little fluffy dogs.. cuz I grew up
with them in my mommys grooming shop and they make me laugh, with all
their long flowing hair and silly bows! I sometimes like
to go up to them at the shows and say hi.... but for some reason,
their mommys always think they should be scared of me. I don't get
it. I just wanna play!
I
LOVE it when I get to go into the big show ring... I get ALL that
attention and all those GREAT snacks!!!!!! YUMMMMY! Then
I get to run around and strut my stuff and when the person in the
middle points at me.... everyone screams and yells and jumps up and
down and hugs me and kisses me! I don't quite get that either,
but I sure like it!!! The icky part is the pictures... cuz I am
always hot and they always try and make me hold my tongue in......
THAT'S HARD when you are hot!!!! (humans aren't very smart
sometimes!!). Sometimes...when no one's looking...I
practice my standing on the podium thingie... But try as I might...I
still can't get my tongue in!
I
am very lucky...I have 3 (human) mommys...My mommy Pam, who I live
with... we are the bestest friends.... she always tells me
that she doesn't know what she'd do without me! :-)
<---She
is always smooching on me...I like that!
Mommy
owns a grooming shop and boarding kennel and I get to go visit all
the groomers and meet all the doggies coming and going. I love
it... even tho some of the dogs bark at me! Some of them aren't
very nice! I just go visit someone else when they do that (like her!!!!)
Mom
always tells me she is proud of me for not fighting back...that I am
a very happy boy! And when Mommy Pam is not looking, I tell all
the girls to take a break and we start smoochin'!!!
My
other "mum" is Vicky (Weaver)....she has owned and bred
ALOT of my kin! She is wonderful too..... I was
born at her house.... she does all the whelping cuz mommy Pam gets
all nervous and emotional! Mommy Pam and Vick are partners and
they do ALL the doggie stuff together! We always go to the
shows and things like that. It is great fun when we all get to
be together! Mummy Vick is a "softie" and I can
pretty much get everything I want from her.....I love it when she is
with us .... all the more for me! (Isn't it ALL about
me??) She's always smoochin' on me too! (what IS it with
these humans???? Don't they know a good sniff and slurp will do??)
My
third mom, is my Grammy Joanne (Cochran)... my daddy (Rand) owns
her! My great granddaddy, Krugerrand, owned her too! She is
just wonderful.... she REALLY makes a fuss over me!!! SHE lets me do
ANYTHING!! Never says NO..I can lick and smooch and roll
around and act silly and get on all the furniture and have all the
treats I want with her!! (my other moms are more strict!).
I LOVE having a grammy.... they are the best!
So,
you see, I am so very lucky, I have the very best..... 3 times over!!
I've got some
exciting news to share since Mommy Pam first made up this here webpage...
Seems that I am
something special, at least that's what they call me now...a
special. My sidekick has been Julia
Foster and together, we've been having some real fun, going
to 106 shows!!! That might seem like a lot but it was easy
because I always get to travel with Mommy Pam and stay in fancy hotel
rooms...what a life it is! And, the best part is that I made
lots and lots of new friends in my travels.
Julia and I
won most of the big shows...CRC, NRC, MHRC, EVRC, *TWICE at MRC* and
we even won the "Top Twenty" at ARC (I think it's because
the judges were wowed by my "Prairie Dog") and
"Select" at ARC from the Veterans Class (don't know what
that means, I still feel YOUNG!). Best of all...Julia and I
were Best of Breed at Westminster! I got to be on TV and
everything!!! And in the Local Newspaper... Page
1, Page 2).
You should have seen me...I showed so well and the crowd was
cheering like crazy for me...there were so many bright lights, and
did I mention the TV cameras??? It was great! My
daughter, Trig, was also there with me and she Best of Opposite
Sex. I am soooo proud of her.
Apparently someone
gives points out for all of these wins and Julia and I got lots of
'em. In those 106 showings, we won 95 Best of Breeds, 9 Best in
Specialty Shows, 6 All Breed Best in Shows, 34 Group Ones, 16 Group
Twos, 8 Group Threes and 9 Group Fours, plus one Sieger Title!
You can go to my Show Wins page to
see them all. They added up those points and it put me in the
ARC Top Twenty for 2002, 2003 & 2004. I was the # 2
Rottweiler All Breed and #3 Rottweiler Breed for 2003... only shown
52 times.. and the # 3 Rottweiler Breed AND All Breed 2004... only
shown 54 times!!! I do feel like I'm braggin' a bit here, but I
guess these things are important to some people so I'm supposed to
mention 'em.
Most important to
me are my new friends, and my girlfriends. Yup, Mommy Pam
finally started letting me date and it seems that I'm a hit with the
gals. Not only that, but my young'ens are starting to go to the
shows with me now and those judge folks really like them. Mommy
Pam told me that there are already ONE HUNDRED & THIRTY
CHAMPIONS which they told me is the most Champions that any
Rottweiler has ever produced...I think that's pretty darned good!
You can CLICK
HERE to see my pups...I'm one very proud Poppa! And
you know what I found out? There's people who give out awards
for me making good kids also. I told them that I don't need any
awards 'cuz that's the fun part, but I'm getting some anyway.
They're called ARC Gold Sire and ARC Top Producer for 2004, 2005,
2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009. I also found out that I now have the
most ARC Production Points EVER! Thanks kids!
I have one
especially wonderful son. His name is Chisum
and he's my best friend! Chisum is picking up where I left off
by winning Specialties (in fact he just won the ARC National!).
He is also producing grandkids that I am very proud of!
Well, I think
that's about all the news I can muster up. I'll be out and
about this year and hope to see y'all at shows. If you feel you
won't get to see me at a show and you are lookin' to meet me......
just give us a call..... Mommy Pam says you can come and visit me at
home.........(I LOVE company!!! :-)
Well.....
I have rambled on long enough, and as my old pal, John Wayne would say,
"I'm
burnin' daylight!".....
I
better go do my chores, and make sure everyone is doing what they
are supposed to be doing. So thanks for droppin' by...hope to meet ya
all soon!
(I'm
going to ride off into the sunset now......... tee hee......)
Yers
Truly,
