Welcome
to 2011! Some of you may recall that our 2009 recap had lots
of ups and downs, but we're happy to report that there were many more
positives than negatives again in 2010!!! First and foremost,
Mike and the girls are doing very well. Mike is still cancer
free, is back to work and has been busier than ever. Sarah is
enjoying her position as an emergency room nurse, and Cassie mid-way
through her third year at Queens University. I am settled into
my new Edward Jones office in Uxbrige, Ontario, and am extremely
happy with this new role. As always the dogs just continue to
thrill us in every venue, plus at home, which is where it counts most.
Currently,
we live with nine Rottweilers: Our eldest, Envy,
is nearing age thirteen. Close behind her is Yngo
at almost twelve (and yes, STILL as wild as ever!) and Iza
at age Nine. In the middle, there are Simone,
Nova, Jill
and Hope. Additionally, we have
two young pups, Itchy and Stella.
Stella is our first linebred Yngo pup. Itchy is new to
us. She came from Suzan Guynn (Otto) of Cammcastle Rottweilers
in Virginia. We have high hopes for Itchy and Stella and are
excited to see what the future holds.
2010
brought us three super litters. The Miracle
Litter (Nevar/Tie) produced seven gorgeous pups. The AA
Litter (Oz/Simone) also produced seven outstanding puppies
and the BB Litter
(Rebel/Jill) gave us eight darling babies who will go home in the
next two weeks. As always, puppy time is a happy time in our
home. We enjoyed seeing so many of you this year and thank each
of you who stayed to visit while taking your pups home. This
year, we added four new homes to our family. Please
welcome: Cee & Ernie Fender, Renae Kelly, Kerrie Laird and
Cyndi Kepner. We look forward to a long and wonderful
relationship with each of you and hope that your pup brings you much joy.
As
always, my favorite thing to do on December 31st is to put together
our year end list of accomplishments. Congratulations to each
and every dog and owner on this list. Your hard work is a
testament to your love of your dogs. We are so proud of every
one of these dogs and owners!

Our
own dogs were out and about a bit, albeit less than in previous
years due to my new work schedule. Hope
and Itchy both finished their CKC
Championships, Simone completed her
CKC CD and RN titles and Nova finished
her CKC RE. I have to admit that although we do like working
and showing our own dogs, it's become much more satisfying to be able
to attend the shows when we have time to watch our puppy owners exhibit.
2010
was the Year of High in Trials, with our pups winning High in Trial
at the ARC, MRC and CRC Specialties!!! Winning high in trial in
their various venues were Beckham, Wizard,
Usher, Aiden,
Kaiser, Richter,
Takara, Jewel
and Jetta!!! We are also proud
of those who made it to the top ten in their venues which were
announced at the 2010 American Rottweiler Club Specialty... Beckham,
Elke, Juna,
Flare, Griffin,
Jetta, Jada,
Jerome, and Takoda.
It
was also a good year for specialties, with Spencer
winning the Sovereign Rottweiler Club specialty, Tudie
going BOSS at the Medallion Rottweiler Club Specialty, and V
winning three specialty majors! Our veterans also did
exceptionally well at the specialties this year with Ripley
winning Best Veteran at the 2010 Canadian National Specialty, and Bailey
winning Best in Veteran Sweepstakes at both the ARC National and MRC Specialties.
We
are also pleased to announce that Iza,
Emma and Bailey
each become eligible for the ARC Silver Dam award with Gable
qualifying for the ARC Bronze Sire Award in 2010. Yngo
again won the ARC Prico award. Yngo now has 535 production
points, the most of any dog in breed history! Thank you to all
of the dedicated breeders and owners who helped make this dream a reality.
2010
also saw 16 pups pass the Temperament Test, 22 pass the Herding
Instinct Test and 9 earn their CGC (or CGN) certificate as well as
quite a few hall of fame and versatility titleholders. Emma
also qualified for her AAC Silver Award of Merit & Versatility
Bronze Awards. Benelli and Spencer
were also R.E.A.D certified in 2011. Congratulations to
all! We are also very proud of our related pups. Demi and
Tank from the Nevar/Sydney litter, Hero from the Axel/Bianka litter
and Luna from the Gable/Jetta litter, all of whom earned their AKC
Championship in 2010.
On
a sadder note, we had several difficult and young losses in
2010. Our hearts go out to Lucy Newton on her loss of Dugan,
to Peg Langdon and Nan Faile on their loss of Bob,
to the Vickery family on the loss of Joe,
to Dawn Phillips on her loss of Kamo.
These were very special dogs, and their losses have been difficult
for many of us. Thank you to all for offering these boys the
kind of lives that every dog dreams of. Though they are gone
too soon, they will live on in our hearts. We also lost some of
our great oldsters... Flirt, Elle
and Duck, all three of whom I
originally kept for myself so many years ago. I thank each of
their eventual homes... Tammy Ausloos, Donna Shore and Mike and Nancy
Gannon for the love and caring they provided for these three
wonderful dogs. I miss each and every one of them.
We
did have a milestone in 2010. Our first pup to be certified as
a Police K-9 is two year old Steel,
owned by Lucy Newton. Steel (Yngo/Nova) is now certified as a
dual purpose patrol/narcotics K-9 and is working for the Winhill,
Vermont, police department. Lucy and Steel are a fantastic
team. I'd sure hate to be a bad guy in Vermont! In
related news, Lucy will soon be pairing up with Jill,
who she will train as a wilderness search and rescue and cadaver
detection dog. Best of luck Lucy, Steel and Jill!
Mike
and I will be out and about at the Specialties in 2011 and hope to
see many of you at ARC/CRC. We also have two pups hitting the
AKC show rings... Dante and Itchy.
Watch for them with Julia foster starting in January! We
also have a spring breeding planned for Simone,
and are working on an upcoming breeding for V.
Stay tuned for more details!
We
wish everyone much success in all of your 2011 endeavors!!!
Ann & Mike
