On a whim we decided to try the International All Breed Canine Association (IABCA) Dogs show again for fun. The last time we had gone to one of those shows was when Diago was a young man, 5ish years ago. We saw the show for March 16 & 17, 2013. Two shows each day and 3 V-1’s equal a title. While we were looking at the show info I saw an article off to the right saying that the local paper “The Columbian” was doing an article on dogs that would go to the show and potentially be in a photo shoot and be interviewed. I figured why not. An email went out, a response was received and a photo shoot was schedule. On the Web version of the article Xander had a cute little head shot, on the paper article Xander TOOK OVER THE PAGE.
He had followers at the show and even had a fan want a picture with the dog in the paper. Xander offered pawdagraphs and kisses. He represented how a Rottweiler can have looks as per the standard, solid temperament, and be trained! He provided a professional representation of the breed receiving great compliments from the judges, however too young for their tastes. He received his V-1 ratings and will be now considered a National Champion in that circuit.
Paper article photo grapy will be posted soon…..
