Wow-- an amazing
month for the Ravenscrest family starting off with Burton's AKC #2
ranking in recently released stats... he's also one of America's Top
Twenty Working Dogs!!!
A LOT of activity
for family members -- not the least of which was at the CRRC
Supported entry in Oregon where Burton won the breed and
a Group 4 over and entry of approximately 250, Kona his daughter was
BOS and Helo and Raven (littremates from his breeding to Vienna) were
WD/BW and WB respectively -- at 12 months from 12-18 with
Ozzie -- Burton's son by Gina (Kona's littermate) taking RWD from
Open -- all under John Studebaker in an entry of 24 -- a remarkable
example of consistency in judging!
It was a Special
show for Kona as she and her owner Chris Dickinson also finish Kona's RN!
Kobe is notified
that he becomes eligible for a coveted American Rottweiler Club
Versatility award!
Ozzie -- Owned by
David Bert and Christina Ullberg finishes his Canadian Championship

receives his OFA Good hip rating--in addition to all 3 other health

February, 2008
It was an exciting
moment to be in the ring with Kobe at Westminster Kennel Club
at Madison Square Garden downtown Manhatten, New York and to see
Burton bringing home an Award of Merit to Canada from judge Edd Bivin.
Some candids of
Burton from the Garden...
Burton finished
the month of January 2008 by ranking #2 rottweiler in both breed and
all-breed statistics in the USA having defeated over 1850 working
dogs including 241 rottweilers in this first month of 2008
alone! Even more exciting is Burton's ranking as the #12 dog of
all breeds in the working group in the US for the month of January 2008!!!!.
Burton's
achievements are apparently singular for a Canadian bred and owned
rottweiler. His achievements and those of his offspring just continue
to amaze us as with two Burton puppies ( Raven & Helo)
sweeping all 3 Best Puppy in Show wins at the Renaissance Show in BC
this past weekend a ( Helo handled by owner Todd Johnston and Raven
handled by Michelle Yeadon) with a third daughter,
Aurora owned by Amanda Halayko winning points on the same
weekend in Manitoba
Please enjoy these
candids of Burton on the road...

January, 2008
In California
(January 26 & 27). Burton takes the breed over nice specials
competition and a Group 2 under judges Carolyn Alexander and Mr.
MacKai respectively at the Tri Valley Pinon Working Dog Show and then
breed the following day under Mr. Sangkunakup--- making that
1850 working dogs -- including over 240 rottweilers defeated
--for the month of January 2008 alone !! We anticipate Burton will be
a few dozen points off the lead for the US for the month of January 2008!
Burton has 2
daughters and one son in 2 countries attaining points on the
same day!. In Alaska Anneliese Tschannen's Parisans Domino of
Ravenscrest (Burton x Irma) defeated the older competition for an AKC
WB point and in BC Canada, "Raven"
Parisans Blackbird (Burton x Vienna) picked up 5 points going
BW from the 9-12 class- (and also on that weekend won a Best Puppy in
Group)- being the 2nd of her litter to do so. Not to be outdone,
Burton's son Ozzie (Burton x Gina) was WD to his 1/2 sister
Raven to add 2 more to his CKC points
It was a fabulous
weekend (January 19-21) for our team as you know with Burton
defeating many of the top working dogs in the US by winning the group
on Saturday at the Portland shows (3500 dogs entered that day
of the show). There were 705 dogs entered in GROUP!!! Those
dogs he defeated include several of the tops which ended 2007 as Top
Ten in the working group. Sunday Burton was Group 3 to the
Akita ( #2 dog in the US for 2007) and the Dane (top dane and one of
the top working dogs) and yesterday he was group 3 to the akita
( #1 2007 working dog #2 all breeds in the US) and the giant (#6
working dog in the US 2007)
Another wonderful
achievement was Burton's puppy "Helo" winning Best of
Winners from the 9-12 class for a 4 point major. Helo won BW at the
BC Specialty in the fall with an entry of 50 or so and we look
forward to an exciting career for him as well
See you guys soon.
We look forward to being "in the hunt" at Westminster and
again thanks to veryone who stayed or came back for groups to support
him and us- it means so much to have such great friends in the
breed-- for without the dogs.. we never would have met
We were
thrilled for Burton to be invited to Westminster ( as a result
of his US Top 5 ranking)- the only Canadian- bred or owned rottweiler
to be invited . Westminster will be a family affair for the
Ravenscrest gang--Burton will be attending handled by Tony
Carter. Burton's daughter Kona will be attending and
Burton's brother Kobe if all goes well will also make the trip from
West to East. Kobe will be breeder handled by Pam for Dr. and Mrs.
Lenigan for this once in a lifetime opportunity

November, 2007
For the second
time this year Burton (Multi BISS, Multi BIS Am & Can Ch
Ravenscrest The Alchemist CGC TDI) has taken another Best in
Specialty Show and Best in Show on the same weekend (just as he did
in May)
This weekend
Burton flew with handler Tony Carter to Anchorage to support the
fabulous Alaska Rottweiler Club (and to see his baby daughter -----
Parisans Domino of Ravenscrest). As usual for Alaska
there was great competition with fine people and dogs. Yesterday,
Burton took the BISS honors and Domino beat the boys to win BOTH Best
in Specialty Sweepstakes and Best Puppy in Specialty ( handled by
owner Anneliese Tschannen) then today under judge Andre B. Schoen at
breed level, John Connolly at Group level and Mrs. Schoen at BIS
level, Burton won the day!
Apparently the sun
was shining on that magnificent landscape all weekend. I couldn't go
due to work commitments but they probably could have heard the shouts
in Alaska when Tony called me to share the news of each day's events.
We are so
very excited and look forward to hearing the stories as to how Tony
will make it home with all of Burton's "loot" on the plane.
This just a week
after Burton's 8 month old son went Best of Winners and best Puppy at
the Rottweiler Club of Canada BC Specialty over a large entry!
Although the
official AKC numbers are not yet completed, we understand that Burton
remains #3 in breed in the US and thereby will be receiving a coveted
invitation to Westminster- still the only Canadian bred or owned
rottweiler in the Top Twenty Five in the US. He remains #1 rottweiler
in breed in Canada and has only been shown 2 weekends here-- with his
1/2 sister "Sugar" ( aka V-1 BOSS Am & Can Ch
Ravenscrest Somelikeithot CD RN) hot on his heels at #2 in
breed in Canada

October, 2007
A big month for
Burton whose standings in the US are now #4 in breed dogs defeated
and #3 in all breed! We await news as to whether he will have one of
the coveted Top 5 in breed Westminster Invitations after the end of
October stats are released
Also exciting is
the news that Burton's son Avro at 7 months won 2 puppy groups in BC
and today at the Peace Arch Working & Herding Specialty at
Canada's largest Dog show won the breed with an entry of 26!!
Kobe on the last
weekend of October attained his coveted American TD just passed
the first leg of his American CDX to add to his many
performance titles. Kobe is '06 CRRC Sieger MBIS Multi V-1 ARC Select
Am & Can Ch Ravenscrest The Talisman CI CGC RE CD TD with a
placement and score of 196. Kobe also has a couple of legs of his RAE
and Khan's daughter "Jada" aka Ravenscrest Jade v
Eaglehaus finished her RE! Owner Rosemary Lenigan continues to
do a fabulous job in training and handling.

June 2007 Canadian Kennel Club official Section magazine
It was a fabulous
weekend for the Ravenscrest family-- this time in the spectacular
location of the Mt. Bachelor Kennel Club shows in Redmond, (Bend)
Oregon. Big grass rings, sunshine and a view of the mountains
and being surrounded by friends and "family" all made
Burton's latest US Group win over some of the top US working dogs so
exciting. Again there was some great success in the performance ring
there with Dr. Bob & Rosemary Lenigan's "Kobe"
aka '06 CRRC Sieger MBIS Select AOM Am & Can Ch Ravenscrest The
Talisman CD CS RE finishing his RE with a 3rd placement. Rosemary
also received another RA qualifying score and placement on

"Jada" ------at 6 months of age Parisan's Zathura of
Ravenscrest was shown to perfection by owner Laura Kinne-- who had to
run to the ring after winning the RE class with her older dog
"Chase" -- all I can say about this wonderful show is that
if you haven't been there-plan for next year
Another major for
Kona! having been shown only 3 weekends in total in the US (other
than ARC Nationals) Kona now has 2 majors to her name-- this
last one at the Canby Oregon shows was handled by Pam . Kona has had
an amazing month with her CRRC Siegerin and Most Beautiful Female in
Show titles, her Select Award at the RCC Nationals and now her 2nd

bythe amazing Nationals results-- we are very excited to announce

April 2007
We are ecstatic
that the US stats are out for March 2007-- Burton is climbing at #7
all-breed and #11 (by 2 dogs) in breed - Go Burton!!!
A few significant
Ravenscrest brags from the weekend -------our youngest prospect
“River “ is now Can Ch Ravenscrest River v Eaglehaus after
a 5 point Best of Winners win over much older US competition—also
Bob & Gaye Preston’s “Sugar” aka 2006
Canadian #2 bitch AKC major ptd BOSS USRC SW regional V-1
Ravenscrest Somelikeithot (Am)CD continued her winning
ways going BOS on all 3 days of the Renaissance weekend—to
make her total of Rottweilers defeated so far in 2007 to
be approaching 100!!!!!!!!!! with multiple Best of Breed wins
over the boys. Her ½ brother “Burton” aka US Group
winning 2007 US Top Ten Am & Can Ch Ravenscrest The Alchemist HIC
CGC TDI took back to back group placements in the US (handled as
always by Tony Carter) to defeat almost 70 rottweilers in the past 2
weekends and over 200 all-breed dogs this weekend alone
We are very
excited about the achievements of these wonderful Canadian-bred dogs
regardless of venue
We heard happy
news from Rosemary Lenigan this weekend who tells us her Kobe (aka
CRRC Sieger , Most Beautiful Male, ARC Select. AOM Am & Can
Ch Ravenscrest The Talisman CD CS RN RA CGC HIC TDI)
passed both his 2nd and 3rd legs of his RA with scores of 95
and 97 taking a placement on one of the days. Kobe was tracking
certified by the AKC a few weeks ago so I anticipate that will be his
next endeavour along the way to RE.
Also Sugar aka V-1
BOSS AKC major ptd Can Ch Ravenscrest Somelikeithot CD continued her
winning ways with Teresa Bradley at the helm by winning breed twice
in the past week over the male Specials- very exciting indeed for new
co-owners Bob & Gaye Preston. Sugar is 2 years old and just needs
a 3pt major to finish in the US - having been reserve to a major a
number of times -and then we will look forward to seeing what she can
produce after her "retirement" at the end of this year.
Sugar is an "Elvis" daughter out of our wonderful US Top
Ten Kennel Review Top Producer "Paris" .

March 2007
What a great week
for Sugar (aka BOSS Can Ch Ravenscrest Somelikeithot) down in
California with Teresa Bradley (Neu Rodes) on the end of the leash.
Sugar attained her American CD in 3 attempts in huge
competition with 3 scores over 190 and 2 class placements—and as
if that wasn’t great enough she was rated V-1 in an very
big Open bitch class under German ADRK judge Helmut Teschke at
the 2007 USRC SW Regional Sieger Show—so she is now BOSS
V-1 Am mjr ptd Can Ch Ravenscrest Somelikeithot Am CD. Sugar is
co-owned by Robert & Gaye Preston. Sugar was ranked #2 bitch in
breed in Canada in 2006 only having been shown for only 3
weekends here in total! You Go Girl
Big brag(s) for
the Ravenscrest family from the Seattle Wa AKC Show...
Burton aka
Am Can Ch Ravenscrest The Alchemist HIC CGC TDI (OFA Excellent
OFA Elbows normal CERF OFA Cardiac) - was BOB both days over 49 breed
dogs/specials (judges Dana Cline and Jeraldeen Crandall). He
took a group 1 over 307 working dogs including a number of the top
working dogs in the USA yesterday ( judge Robert Thomas) and
today took a Group 2 under Hank Williams- again over 300 dogs. Burton
is owned by us and co-owner Jason Ough. He is handled by Tony Carter

February 2007
Burton and
"the girls" attended the "Rose City Cluster " in
Portland, Oregon and came away with more fabulous results! As a
result of his breed win there under Dr. Donald Gill - over 44
rottweilers including some stunning other specials- in addition to
his success in Puyallup the week before we are confident Burton
will be listed in the US Top Ten or Twenty in Breed for the month of
January, 2007.
Sugar and Kona
also had successes in Portland with Sugar winning a 4 point Best of
Winners major (over 39 class dogs and bitches that day) under
judge Doris Cozart with Kona placing second in the very
competitive Open class behind Sugar.
The next day it
was Kona's turn and although Sugar also placed in that big Open
class, Kona at 18 months on the weekend of her AKC all-breed debut
took a 4 point major for Winners bitch under judge Donovan Thompson--
not to be outdone "River placed 1st in the 12-18 male class 3
out of the 4 days
Brando aka 2005
USRC NWRYS Ravenscrest Merlin Bando HIC CGC is the 4th puppy from
the"Magic litter to attain a Therapy Dog certification!!
Brando and
owner Vancouver policeman Cam Hemphill are awaiting their assignement
with "Pets and Friends" to contribute to the community
Pam (with Paris
supervising in studio) were interviewed live on CBC radio to address
the issues of responsible dog ownership and the dog aggression which
so frequently precedes effort to introduce the ignorance of Breed
Specific Legislation-- all in the wake of a coroner's inquest into a
2004 dog-bite tragedy in BC involving multiple dogs of various breeds
including rottweilers
Burton will be one
of a couple of Pacific Northwest dogs profiled ( complete with a
photo of Burton and handler Tony Carter eating McDonald's) by the
Seattle Times as they head to Westminster in New York
We have been very
excited to see Joanne & Robert Thatcher's Radar ( aka BISS AOM
AM & Can Ch Ravenscrest The Navigator CGC TDI ) remaining
at the #1 spot in Canada for rottweilers defeated ( together with his
1/2 sister "Sugar" aka BOSS AKC mjr ptd Can CH
Ravenscrest Somelikeithot also in the Top Ten even though she
was only shown 2 weekends in total) but this week Radar 's
littermate "Burton" ( co-owned with Jason Ough of Kelowna
BC) was listed and is the only Canadian bred dog (or
owned) dog in the 2007 US Top Ten ( at #7 breed and #14
all-breed) and that is quite a thrill. All of this
follows the excitement of seeing Burton in the ring at the
Westminster Kennel Club show in New York --being the only Canadian
bred rottweiler entered there!
We are looking
forward to a very exciting year with Burton who just won back to back
breeds (including under breeder judge Bob Busby) and a Group 4 in
Hartford CT this past weekend before he returns to the Pacific Northwest.
We also look
forward to seeing certain of Burton's puppies from a breeding to
Suzanne Eikanger Stoops "Irma" in the rings later
this year - not the least of which will be our baby -----Parisan's
Domino of Ravenscrest who will be making the trip to Alaska with
her co- owner Anneliese Tschannen

Again 3
Ravenscrest rottweilers are in the Canadian top ten (Kona, Sugar and
Radar) - albeit with not being shown in June. We anticipate Radar
will be in 1st or 2nd place for July and August however the
official RCC postings are delayed several months
following CKC results being available on the website due to the
enormity of the RCC statistician's task.

We are home in Vancouver
BC from the ARC Nationals and have a few brags from there
and also from the Rottweiler Club of Canada BC Regional Specialty
judged by Mr. Walter Schicker of Germany - a foremost breeder of
Standard and Giant Schnauzers and FCI BIS and World Winners
Show judge - together with the shows on that weekend.
At the ARC National...
Our 6-9 month puppy dog
“River” aka Ravensacrest River v Eaglehaus sired by
our Khan ( aka Am Can UCI Int’l Ch Ghengis Khan vom Eaglehaus
HCT HT CGC ) and out of “Dyna” the 2003 ARC National
RWB won his very large Futurity Class and was 3rd in the regular
classes. He was bred by Orton Ker of BC.
Our 10 month old month puppy girl
“Kona” aka ( now new Can Ch) BPIS, CKC ptd
Parisan’s Kona of Ravenscrest CGC bred by Suzanne Stoops
and sired by our “Burton” aka Am & Can Ch
Ravenscrest The Alchemist and out of BOSS Can Ch Gina vom
Hirschenbrunnen was Best of Opposite Sex in
ARC Sweepstakes. Kona also passed her CGC . Kona is co-owned and
resident with Cris Dickinson ( Maplehurst Rottweilers). Kona was
handled by Perry Payson.
And at the ARC Nationals dinner it
was wonderful to accept on behalf of Joanne Thatcher who was unable
to attend due to health issues, an ARC Heroisim Award for her
“Radar” aka AOM Am & Can Ch Ravenscrest The
Navigator CGC TDI
We were also pleased to see our
“Paris” ( aka Am Can UCI Int’l Ch Ironwoods
Paris of Diorr HCT TT HT CGC among the Top three
producing bitches for the US in 2005 with 4 Am Chs ( from one
litter—a 5th having both majors) as well!
Then we returned home to BC a day
early by driving day and night to get to the BC Specialty to
which we had not anticipated attending due to its being scheduled on
Friday the 19th and us having 3000 miles to travel from Pa to BC
however Joanne had broken her shoulder and had no way to get Radar to
the show.
At Rottweiler Club of Canada BC
Specialty the news for us is:
1st place of the 6-9 female
class ( and also at the 4 days of all- breed shows) Eaglehaus
Tia Maria – “River’s littermate owned by Orton Ker (
she also took 1st place in her class over the competition all weekend
in the all-breed shows).
1st place of the 9-12 month female
class ( and also all 4 days at the all- breed show) BPIS
BOSSw CKC ptd Parisan’s Kona of Ravenscrest CGC.
1st place in Open females) CKC ptd
Ravenscrest Somelikeithot aka “Sugar” bred and
owned by my husband Drew and I “Sugar is by Elvis and out
of our Paris.
Sugar took WB ( 5 pt) and
BOSS— (over multiple Am & Can Specials )”
– and is a new Can Ch she had taken a 5 pt BW in the
all- breed show earlier that same day . Sugar was handled to
these exceptional results by Thom Woodward (Neu Rodes) who has also
pointed Sugar in the US . Sugar also won BOS the following day her
first day out as a Special in the all-breed shows.
BISS was Joanne
Thatcher’s “Radar” (above) who was also
Best Canadian Bred in Specialty, the latter being a non-official
class which was incidentally awarded last year to Radar’s
littermate Miles - multi group placer Am & Can Ch Ravenscrest
Black Magic CGC TDI HIC. Radar also took the Breed Sunday handled by
me and was not entered on Monday.
BISS AOM Am & Can Ch
Ravenscrest The Navigator CGC TDI ( ARC Heroism award recipient) and
BOSS Can Ch Ravenscrest Somelikeihot
Sunday, on the occasion of Cris
Dickinson’s birthday ( we won’t tell you which one), Kona
took WB/ BOS from the 9-12 class under Dr. Smith for her 2nd 5
point win- - she had therefore her 10 required points for her Can Ch
but needed a win under a 3rd judge – so on Monday, she did just
that- for her 3rd 5 point win making her at 10
months a new Can Ch- happy Birthday Cris!with Sugar taking BOS
honours again.
Our next travels will take us to
the Alaska Rottweiler Club Specialty where “Radar” will
join his major pointed littermate “Abby” aka Can Ch
Ravenscrest Abracadabra CGC HIC under breeder judge Grace
Acosta handled by me.
See you in the rings and thanks to
all who have been so supportive of us!

Juan Griego), Sweepstakes (4th judge Jerome Sampson) and Regular
classes ( 3rd Judge Karen Billings)

"Radar" ( Ravenscrest The Navigator CGC TDI) owned by
Joanne and Bob Thatcher and "Miles" Ravenscrest Black
Magic owned by Glenda Boswell were not far behind in the final cut in
Futurity and the cut of 12 made by Ms. Billing from the 36 or so in
their class. Both Radar and Burton made the final cut of 6 ( Radar
being handled, for the first time by Anthony Groth)
3.
"Miles", with owner Glenda Boswell handling passed both his
CGC and TDI. "Radar" passed both of his as well and Burton
( who passed his CGC previously) passed his TDI
4.
"Miles" passed his OFA cardiac clearance ( the 4th of 4
puppies tested so far from this litter to do so).
