Back to back breed over specials his Nationals winner in 2004!
First time in the breed ring!
Sire and Grandsire to Champion offspring~
I trained and owner handled Rico for his debut in AKC conformation, going RWD each
time, and at barely 6 months. Rico is an outstanding young man and while it is always a
thrill to owner handle my Aussies, sometimes professional presentation is warranted.
Rico was handled to his AKC Championship, then after a year off to mature and in very
limited showing, to his Grand AKC Championship by Paul and Kelley Catterson. Rico
will be staying with, and handled exclusively by Catterson handling team.

~~~NEW CHAMPION~
Rico finished his AKC Championship in only 2 months of showing, at 16 months! He
finished with a bang, with 3 majors to finish in South Dakota.
Our deepest appreciation and gratitude to the Professional Handling team of Paul and
Kelley Catterson. They worked very hard with Rico's enthusiastic attitude and took
him from start to finish for his AKC Championship. I trained and handled Rico for his
AKC Debut, going RWD EVERY SHOW!
Rico took breed over very competitive, seasoned specials his FIRST time in the breed
ring!
1-9-12~UPDATE~ In limited showing, Rico has now achieved his AKC Grand
Championship. This is only the beginning of what this outstanding dog can achieve,
and we are thrilled to have him campaigned by Paul and Kelley Catterson. They have
done a fabulous job with Rico!

news/win page~
It is impossible to capture the
essence of this incredible boy on
camera. Rico is absolutely
stunning! From his perfect head,
firm topline, gorgeous coat and
markings, to his breathless
movement as he floats across the
ring. He is simply breathtaking. He
has those "bedroom eyes", deep
brown, with a slight tilt, his
expression is animated and quite
intense! His bone and balance is
perfect, with beautiful angles, and
perfect shoulder lay back, he falls
off at the croup onto a perfect rear,
neither bulky nor weak and has
beautiful oval bone and feet. If his
looks are not enough to break your
heart, spend a minute or two in his
company and you will fall madly in
love. He is true to his name, Suave
and adoring, and quite spoiled
because of his charismatic nature.
He is truly an incredible
representation of this amazing
breed~ Rico proves what an
amazing stud we have in his sire,
Sonny..
