Memories -- Tori's first show at 6 months of age - November 2003 Winners Bitch, Best of Winners and Best of Opposite Sex over top bitch specials. Judge: James White Breeder/Handler: Betty Scattini This is what got us hooked on the world of dog shows and meeting some great people.
We decided on the name of AdventureRRs for two reasons - 1) We acquired a Winnebago Adventurer motor home to show Tori (it was known as "Tori's Town Home"); and 2) we advertised in the RR magazines as "loving and willing assistants in Tori's Adventures"Due to our travels - we became AdventureRRs. Now we travel with Hunter, Hondo and Darcey in Memory of Tori - 5-3-2003 - 4-19-2011 Judy has had Ridgebacks off and on for over 40 years, John for over 20 years. Mainly the Ridgebacks were just our companions during those years although we did show a little when we took time away from competing with our horses. We both are devoted to the breed and like to travel and go to shows and any event that includes dogs. These are our four Ridgebacks: In Memory of - "Tori" - CH Triggerhill's Notorious Doubletake, RN, SC CGC HIC - May 3, 2003 to April 19, 2011 ("Bantu" - CH Triggerhill's Raj Posh ROM x "Kate" CH Orangewood Doubletake at Triggerhill, RN, AX, AXJ) "Hunter" - Triggerhill's Doubletake Adventure, RN, SC CGC ("Chobe" - CH Tropaco Chobe B Good x "Kate" CH Orangewood Doubletake at Triggerhill, RN, AX, AXJ) "Hondo" - CH Triggerhill's Western Adventure, SC CGC ("Travis" - CH Rivercity's Travlin Man, JC ROM x "Tori" - CH Triggerhill's Notorious Doubletake, RN, SC CGC HIC) "Darcey" - Adventurerr's Dare to Dream, CGC ("Rowan" - CH Paradigm's Red Talisman, SC, CGC, TT, TDI x "Tori" - CH Triggerhill's Notorious Doubletake, RN SC CGC HIC) Now that we've retired and moved to Oregon, we hope to travel more in the future. We've only had one big trip in 2009 to dog shows in Fort Worth where Hondo became a Champion after winning three Majors on one weekend. Since then we've just traveled with the dogs for lure coursing in Oregon & Washington in 2009. Our trip to Ventura, CA for the RRCUS 2010 Nationals was well worth it. Hondo received an AOM, Tori received her RN title, Darcey was 2nd in both Sweeps and regular class; and Hunter suprised us by winning 1st in Altered Dog, 1st in Rally Novice to earn his RN title, and 5th in Lure coursing. In 2011 we went to a few shows, but mainly stayed home and worked with training the dogs and traveling to the beach for dog vacations and visiting some of Hondo's puppies in Julian, CA In 2012 we plan to attend some shows and maybe travel back to the MidWest to visit friends and attend some dog shows. For more detailed information about Ridgebacks, visit the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States, Inc. (RRCUS) web site: www.rrcus.org. Or email us and we'll refer you to someone that might be able to help you find a puppy, answer a question, talk to you about showing in conformation, rally, obedience, agility, lure coursing, herding and all the other things Ridgebacks love to do - besides being couch potatoes. Remember these are companion animals and they want to be with their people in the house and possibly in their bed!
