“The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, along with the Kuvasz Club of America is pleased to present the 2007 Champion of Health Award to Ch Double Ring-Valars Hu Dante, bred by Kathy Ringering & Lorraine Blosser, owned by Chuck & Kathy Ringering.
The OFA Champion of Health is an annual award given through the breed’s parent club to a dog that has achieved significant accomplishments in the show ring, in the field, as a producer, or as a working dog, AND that has the appropriate complement of health certifications.
Dante has proven himself in the ring with multiple championships and group placements, however, it is as a producer he is truly making his mark. Several of Dante’s get are group winners and placers.
On the health front, Dante has OFA Excellent hips, Normal elbows, patellas and thyroid, and has earned his CHIC number based on health screening in accordance with the recommendations of the KCA. Both his sire and dam had clearances, and he has numerous offspring with clearances including nine with CHIC numbers.
We are pleased to honor Dante with this engraved silver medallion. In addition, the OFA will make a $100 donation to the KCA’s Donor Advised Fund at the AKC Canine Health Foundation in his name.”
