Seriously, who could go wrong with a name like Bold Ruckus? To further the
choice of name for this boy, the horse Ruckus had a mare named Raise-A-Ruckus
..... really, could this be more perfect with a momma like
Moka?
|
So, Ruckus is staying here
after a lot of deliberation. There was just something about him from about
4 weeks old that caught my eye while still in the whelping pen, but as I had the
puppies out and about more and more, he just kinda got to me.
Ruckus
temperament tested much to my delight as a working prospect with great
conformation, knowing full well this was going to happen as I was able to teach
him to speak in the whelping pen before he had a name at 6 weeks old
.... to say he is full of himself is an understatement.
He is very
bold, outgoing and is into everything and loves to meet new people and
new dogs, so I am hoping he will fill the big paw steps left behind by
the loss of my
Justice in June 2007.
The house has not
been the same with out a boy Rottweiler and he just seems to have what I am
looking for.
Structurally, he is very nice with fantastic bone, a short back, good
shoulder layback, nice rear angles and a dark eye. At two years old, he is
105lbs just shy of 26 inches tall.

Ruckus
is truly a little beast - he learned to speak before he knew his name. He
is just that kind of temperament that you want when you are looking for a
working prospect. I am so excited to get working with him.
He is a smart little guy
fitting into the household quite easily. He and Seeker are quite
inseparable, although we try. And he is not lacking at all in
confidence.
Everything he has
experienced so far he has taken in stride with no real signs of fear at
all. I forgot what raising a male Rottweiler puppy was like and I
am quite enjoying him. |

Now as a more mature
male, Ruckus is working hard in different venues and doing truly very
well. He is a dog who wants to do what I want to do and is always
willing to please and work until he figures out what I am asking of him.
I can't wait until he
and I are working in sync as a team, which will come with more time,
training and his maturity!
After Ruckus's first show weekend, of which he was shown 2
days, he came home with a Reserve Winners Male ribbon and his first point taking
Winners Male on Sunday. He handled beautifully, stood perfectly for exam
and moved out great.
Ruckus earned his HIC title in
May 2008 with 5 of his siblings.

Ruckus earned 3 more points towards
his Canadian Championship in August 2008 in Cranbrook, BC, along with his
Temperament test title. He did so going Best of Winners and BEST OF BREED,
breeder-owner handled! His littermates, Kalli and Brogan, both finished
their championships this same weekend which made it all that much more exciting!

Ruckus learning to track in
October 2008!
|
In Edmonton in September 2008,
Ruckus and I thought we would give rally a try for one trial. Okay, being
13 months old at the time, I didn't expect too much, but he pulled off his first
Rally Novice leg with a respectable 88. He needed more polishing, but he
did well for such a young dog.
We also attended a tracking seminar
here in Calgary by Ed Presnell (AKC/CKC tracking judge) in October 2008 where we
discovered Ruckus really can track too!!!
In all of his glory, Ruckus finished
his RN in Red Deer in November 2008. My handler error lost him 10 points
on Saturday and turned his 90 into an 80, but he earned an 89 on Sunday for the
title. Ruckus turns 15 months the week after he earned this title.
He was certainly amusing to watch I am sure, he was pretty amusing to handle.
I am pretty sure he is spring-loaded after these trials.
We thought it might be nice for
Ruckus to enter the show ring again, so at
the CKOC show here in Calgary in March 2009, Ruckus did so going Best of Breed
over SPECIALS for a 3 point win! He did so under judge Cheryl Myers
Egerton. He had tons of fun in the ring and although he is still not quite
mature, he held his own!

Ruckus finished his Championship in
May 2009 in Medicine Hat with 2 more Best of Breed wins! He was
breeder/owner/handled to his all of his points!
At the 2009 RCC National Specialty
here in Calgary in July 2009, Ruckus earned the first leg of his PCD title.
He also dabbled a little bit in rally earned a third place score of 97 in rally
novice .... He then went on to finish his PCD at the AKC show 2 weeks
later, also in Calgary. He was surprisingly together and his usual
boisterous self in the ring, I was very pleased with him.
2010 should prove to be a
busy year for Ruckus. He is currently training in both open and utility,
he and I are doing our best to become a team in all senses of the word.
We are also very much hoping that he can contribute to our breeding program this
year.
Stay tuned for updates!!! |
To say Ruckus likes water
would be an understatement!
