15-month-old
Attila (now
Champion Double Ring
Barbarian) finished his championship
with a 3-point major, going WD/BOW/BOS in
Albany, Oregon. His owner, Steve Oppenheimer (El Sobrante,
CA.) says, "He's the same high-spirited, goofy
puppy that he was on Saturday, though!"
We are proud to say that Attila also earned his
Canine Good Citizen title recently. Congratulations to Steve
and Attila!

The 2006 year-end Kuvaszok
Breed & All-Breed Show Results are in (click

Though our personal life left
little room for the show ring this past year,
we're happy to say that
Double Ring Kuvasz is the proud Breeder of the
#1 TOP WINNING DOG for 2006; All Breed AND Breed
winner: CH Double Ring Peterbilt!
CH
Double Ring New Southern Glory is also honored
as a TOP PRODUCING BITCH for 2006. Her
first (and only) litter produced 3 beautiful new
champions this past year!
Congratulations to Robin &
Tony Miller! "Cargo" and "Glory" have blossomed
under their loving care and expert handling.

Kea Grrreat ("Toni
") sired by Ch Mauna Kea's Limited Release (Shiraz)
out of Ch Double Ring Mauna Kea On A Whim (click

Toni is a super sweet girl who always has a
moment to spend with her admirers. At home
she is playful, but much prefers occupying
someone's lap!
Crystal, Our Aspiring Therapy Girl!
Double
Ring Rebel Ridge Waterford (aka "Crystal")
won her first point recently and
made the cut in GROUP the
first time in the ring! I don't have any
new pictures of Crystal but hope to have some up
soon.

Crystal here
Crystal's personal mission in
life is to be a therapy dog. She will find every
wheelchair and drag us over to befriend the people
occupying them!
Specialty day and weekend all
seems a big blur. I chaired the show the day of the
Specialty and really didn't get to see as much as I
would like. We are waiting for the DVD to arrive.
There were
some special moments that will be with us for a
lifetime...
Ch Double
Ring Cat Dancing WW at 11 years old went to the
Specialty as a veteran. She won the Veteran
Sweepstakes. She is the dog who was always
full of mischief. She is still full of mischief as a
senior, just more polished about it! We have always
said "Cat" is affected by the "Royal Syndrome." Cat
has ideas about how she is to be treated, and
doesn't hesitate to make her wishes known!
Everyone wonders how "Cat" got
her name. Our granddaughter was 3 years-old and
could only say "Cat." It was our "C" litter (the
first time). Every time the granddaughter called,
"Cat, Cat," this puppy would go running to her. Some
how it just stuck and she became
Cat Dancing. Cat
Dancing danced her way through the specialty and
wowed the crowd.

new picture here
A friend's 13 year-old daughter
expressed an interest in showing a Kuvasz, so we
brought Ch Double Ring
Moonlight Serenade out of retirement for the
weekend. Ashley Resener
showed Sera in Juniors and as a Special. They
made the cut for the breed win all the way down to
the wire most of the days. Ashley did a stunning job
showing Sera and won a really nice trophy and
prizes. She is looking forward to showing Sera some
more and having a Kuvasz puppy of her own in the
future.
Double
Ring Rebel Ridge Waterford ("Crystal") won her Bred
by Exhibitor class.
Double
Ring A Matter of Time ("Matty") won her puppy
class the one day she was shown.
Other
special moments were seeing Tony & Robin Miller
finish Ch Double Ring Under Cover ("Spy").
The
Miller's girl, Ch Double Ring New Southern Glory
("Glory") won several Awards of Merit.
We get to
share the bragging rights on the following because
both parents are Double Ring dogs:
Glory's
kids out of Ch Double Ring Peterbilt
did really
well, too with a Best of Opposite in Sweepstakes for
Rebel Ridge Southern Sensation, CGC ("Diva").
Rebel
Ridge Southern Beauty ("Lola") picked up a 5 point
Major.
Johnny
Bridges with Rebel Ridge Southern Cross
("Duke")
won a Major, too.
It was a great week and we hope
to have more new pictures coming soon.

Chuck and I went to our kennel
club's annual party last night. (Spirit of the Heartland
Kennel Club)
They surprised us with a Lifetime
Membership Award for service to the club; as
founding members of the club; and for service to the
community and to individual club members.
We are always available to help
new, and old, with training, have held a lot of hands
at ringside, have taken middle-of the-night
telephone calls for anyone who needed help with
whelping a litter; and we've even gone to help
with some litters and helped to evaluate puppies, etc.
It was a huge surprise and very
heart-warming! —Kathy OO (Kathy Ringering)
PIXY
(Ch. Double Ring Phairy Tale) BRINGS HOME ANOTHER GROUP
4th!
Congratulations to co-owner Sandy
Herring for Pixy's latest win on Sept.17th under
Judge Harry Smith in Sullivan, MO. (To date, Pixy is
#1 in All-Breed points with 1,262 total number of
dogs defeated in All-Breed competition.)

Sera Proves she still loves "bling bling" of the
show ring!
Sera
takes TWO back-to-back GROUP 3s over the
weekend!
Sera
(Ch. Double Ring Moonlight Serenade) was
semi-retired from the show ring in February, 2003.
We decided to have a little fun with her and off to
dog show we go (Belleville Illinois) on Sept 10th &
11th.
TWO Working Group 3's later,
Sera proves she hasn't lost her magic touch and
showy figure, after whelping two litters of puppies
during her hiatus from the ring. (And it's only been
about 5 months since her last litter!)
A great big thank you goes to
judges Norman Herbel and
Pat Hastings for honoring
Sera with Working Group placements.
