GAMBOL
 \GAM-buhl\, intransitive verb:  To dance and skip about in play; to frolic.
noun:  A skipping or leaping about in frolic. 

WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY?  GAMBOL OWNS MY TOTAL RESPECT AND ADMIRATION.  
SHE WAS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME FRIEND AND PARTNER.

 

 

Our relationship started out like this:
Darline Collins met me at a dog show and told me she had the perfect pup for me.
I laughed and said that I didn't need a new pup.  At the time, I had two 9 month old pups from my A litter.
Darline said okay and went home.  She arrived at the show the next day and handed me this picture...

Gambol came home with a feeble "if she doesn't work out, I'm bringing her back!"

 

 

The rest, as they say, is history.

Competing in AKC, UKC, CKC, AAC, NADAC and USDAA trials, Gambol has excelled in each.
To date, Gambol has competed in 98 agility trials and has qualified in 77 of them,
completing 18 agility titles between the six organizations.

GAMBOL was an American Rottweiler Club Top Ten Agility dog in 1999 & 2003. 
AND...
It has been confirmed!!! Gambol is the only BIS/Ch/ATCh, in any breed, in the history of the UKC!

 

 

GAMBOL finished her CKC Championship in style.   
She is shown here going Winners Bitch during the 1999 Woodstock specialty cluster 
with her favorite friend and handler, Julia Foster

GAMBOL is an all-breed best in show winner in both the 
World Wide Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club.

GAMBOL is also AKC pointed, earning 6 points, owner handled.
I never made a sincere effort to finish her...we were just too busy.
Do I regret it?  Not at all.  The fun we had was worth more than any Championship!

 

 

GAMBOL also has been successful in the obedience ring and is shown
earning her AKC Companion Dog Excellent title at the 1998 MRC Specialty.

GAMBOL completed her AKC, CKC, UKC and SKC Companion Dog titles without 
ever failing a trial.  She received many nice placements along the way.

 

 

The consummate mother...Gambol raised 19 of her own kids,
plus nursed and reared two litters for other bitches.
Gambol is shown above with her young son, Esmonds Last Chance.

 

 

THANK YOU TO GAMBOL'S TITLED KIDS FOR MAKING HER AN ARC GOLD PRODUCING DAM!!!

Gambol running (ok walking ;-) agility at age 8.

Flash...
Gambol goes High in Trial (Preferred) at the 2003 MRC Agility Trial
at eight years of age!!!  She also made the 2003 ARC Top Ten!!!

Thank you to Tammy Ausloos for running her!

My sincerest thanks to Don and Pearl Thompson (Oakview) and Darline Collins (Coldar Rottweilers) for producing this once in a
lifetime dog and for being there for me throughout Gambol's life.

Thank you also for your support and guidance as I began
my breeding program.  Without you, Elke and Chance, we would not have the wonderful dogs that we do now.
I am forever indebted...

Lastly, thank you for teaching me what it means to be a breeder....from Darline's dedication to making sure that this puppy went to the right home to Pearl's honesty and caring, to Don's unwavering love for every dog he's produced...I hope I can live up to the example that each of you has set for me.

                                                                                  ~Ann

<----- A very happy 8 year old Gambol
          with her breeder, Don Thompson.
