Allow me to introduce
our undeniable and appropriately named, ROCKSTAR............
this incredibull
redhead hasn't taken a wrong step since he climbed out of the
whelping box which made his name so easy to come up with; simply take
one look at him and the first thing that comes to mind is, he's a
rockstar!
Stunning red coat,
jet black mask, deep dark brown eyes, ears from here to eternity,
and I am just getting started on what exactly makes this little
dude live up to the name he was dubbed with.
He has matured into
an incredible specimen of the breed; correct in every aspect with a
temperament that is equal to his physical attributes.
Of course, we
expected him to be HOT,
HOT, HOT
since he was a son of our redheads, Nero and Sahara, but I don't think that even
his greatest admirers realized just how special this little
redhead really was. Like a fine wine, this kid just
continues to get better with age.
Rockstar's first
time in the show ring was at the Frog Frolic B Match held at the
French Bulldog Club of DFW Specialty show in March 2009. At
that point, 5 months old, his little feet had never touched a mat, he'd never
attended a handling class, and had never been to an AKC show, but
he promptly trotted into the ring and strutted his stuff like a
little pro.
He had a grand time
in the ring with all of his frogdog competitors, and came away with a BOS
under match judge and French Bulldog breeder, Gordon Adams.
It has been uphill
for Rockstar, in the show ring, ever since with a major win at the
Heart of Texas French Bulldog Specialty, a Group 2 under Judge Eva
Berg, a Group 4 under Judge Steve Keating and each of these very
special awards were garnered before he turned
a year old. AND, to top it off, his AKC Championship title at the tender young age
of 12 months.
Rockstar is one of
those French Bulldogs that just seems to attract attention and
catches everyone's eye, and we appreciate all of the wonderful
compliments about our boy from all of the French Bulldog breeders
and Frenchie judges that have had the opportunity to meet or see
Rockstar up close and personal.
We are so excited
about this boy and his future in the show ring and as a part of
our breeding program. For now, he is going to continue to do
what he loves..........strut his stuff in the show
ring.
Rockstar is owned,
pampered, and trained by Johnan Ratliff, bred and co-owned by
Bullistik, and handled by Michael Shepherd.
