Rose is an apricot bitch and a large bitch to boot. She has bloodlines from two of the oldest breeding kennels in the USA right now. Her dam is from the Gropetti’s Kennel and her sire is from Mtn Oaks Kennel. Rose finished her show classes in 2008 to become our third champion at Ringsides Kennel. Rose is an affectionate mastiff with a submissive temperament. She doesn’t like the show ring, but she does like being around the other dogs at Ringsides Kennel. It took Rose a few months to get used to the rigors of the show ring and show traveling. At first she would tug and fight the show lead that Cheryl Cates uses. Rose is a big bitch, she’s tall and weighs over 180 pounds. She can pull a large man around if she wants, so Cheryl earned her money showing Rose. She tolerated the show ring and let Cheryl finally show her and finish her. Rose got her show points in bunches when she finally began to showoff. She earned back-to-back majors at the Gavilan Kennel Club’s show in Hollister CA. In 2008 at the Yosemite Kennel club’s last day Rose became our third champion. We all breathed a sigh of relief because Rose was finished.

Rose is retired from the show ring, except maybe for specialties. Our breeding plans call for Leo and Rose to be bred together in the spring of 2009. This breeding will be exciting because it will be our first with both parents being our champions that we showed and finished.
