Our New Irish Champion

Champion Rocksham Kimweri

Paddy has now been confirmed as having gained his Championship title. He was awarded his seventh and qualifying Green Star (CAC) at the Cloghran Championship Show in November under judge Mrs Zeta Fogarty. Paddy won his first Green Star at Swords in June 2011 and in five months and at the young age of only 20 months has gained his title. He has had a lot of success over the past six months both in Ireland and the U.k. including Best in Show at the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Ireland's 25th Anniversary Championship Club Show in August. Paddy adds his name to a long list of home breed champions from our top winning kennel.
