It's
an honour for me to include Multiple
RUBIS/RUBISS Aust Grand Ch.Usakose Gizmos Design ET as stud dog in my
breeding plans. Micky is a very sound dog, with an excellent conformation,
superb movement and lovable temperament. He has done very well in the
show rings throughout Australia and now his progeny is following his
steps. So I think that Micky will leave his pawprints over here.
Many
thanks to his owners, Jessica and Sean Reilly from Amakhosi
Kennel. Thanks for sending me some drops of frozen semen from this
great boy. And also is a great pleasure and surprise that I've been
told by our Ministery that I'm the very first person in Spain importing frozen semen of dog.

'Micky's'
Daughter 'Nampolu Mohabi' who is infrequently shown and nearly titled,
was awarded Best Headed Bitch at the 1999 RRCQInc Championship Show,
under Breed Specialist Judge Mrs Pauline Sadler.
Micky
had new progeny entering the show ring in 2001:
'Amakhosi
Aussie Gold' (aka 'Ozzie') has begun his show career in the USA,after
a very successful show career start in Australia.
'Amakhosi
Destined For Gold' (aka 'Zari' ) is proving to also be very successful
in the showring, and living up to her name of 'Golden Girl'! She has
most recently achieved her Championship Title (February 2002), in fine
style, being awarded not only Best of Breed, but also BEST IN GROUP,
and INTERMEDIATE IN GROUP, at the Beaudesert Kennel Club All Breeds
Championship Show! This was awarded by Hound Specialist Judge: Mrs P
Bockman- Chato (NSW).
Some
of 'Zari's' other great achievements to date have been: ** Reserve Challenge
Bitch; and Junior in Show at the NSW Rhodesian Ridgeback Club Championship
Specialty Show under Judge: Mr R Rupert (Oakhurst Kennels USA).
**This
was followed by RUBOB and Challenge Bitch at the NSW Hound Club Specialty
Championship Show under another Hound Specialist Judge: Mr R McFadden
(USA). She achieved both of these at only 15 months of age!
'Amakhosi
Designed for Gold' (aka 'Simba') finally began showing at nearly
12 months of age. He won Puppy in Group (Judge: Mrs H Lee James USA)
and 4th in the Queensland Classic at his very first show. He is still
finding his feet in the showring, but has been awarded numerous Reserve
Dog Challenges and Class in Group Awards. We expect Simba to ably fill
his father's shoes in the showring in the years to come.

Granddaughter 'Ch Amakhosi Bahati Makena' has also proven herself
to be a winner in the showring throughout 2000, 2001 and now also 2002.
She was recently awarded RESERVE IN GROUP, at the Beenleigh Kennel Club
Championship Show (February 2002) under Mr K Stout (Q) on her Birthday
weekend. Makena had just turned 2yo. She is always a pleasure to handle
in the showring.
'Amakhosi
Classic Gold' (aka 'Saran') has also made her mark in the Baby Puppy
and Puppy Classes. She is infrequently shown, but we are looking forward
to continuing success with this young lady in the future.
Micky
has a number of youngsters making their show debut in 2002. They have
already achieved: Baby Puppy in Show, Multiple Baby Puppy in Group,
Minor Puppy in Group and Reserve Challenges (from Minor Class). He also

These are
some more recent photos of 'Micky'.
The top
photo was taken in June 2001, just after 'Micky' had turned 7yo.
The bottom
photo was taken at the Sydney Ridgeback Specialty in October 2001
where he is about 7 1/2 yo.
He has always
been a difficult boy to get to stand, and loves leaning back,
but Lisa (top photo) always manages to get the best from him! |
