Rumor - Conformation....
Rumor has truly excelled in the conformation ring and has
exceeded every goal we've set. She is a joy to show and gives
me 110% every time we step in the ring. I have never shown a
dog with more natural attitude than Rumor. She will nail her
free stack every time and gaits with clean, effortless movement
- down, back, and around.
After taking her first ASCA and AKC major points from the
puppy classes, Rumor finished her championships quickly, with
multiple Best of Breed and Best Opposite wins before beginning
a successful Specials "career" by the time she was 20 months
old.

Rumor's first ASCA Best of Breed over Specials came at just 13 months under Senior Breeder Judge,
Becky DeLeon (see photo below right) and she followed that up a month later with her first AKC Breed win
under judge Houston Clark. Since then, Rumor has amassed over 70 Breed or Opposite wins - the majority
coming in ASCA under Senior Breeder Judges. She is also a multiple ASCA National Premier Champion, an
AKC Best is Speciality Show winner, and Best in Show winner in both UKC and ASCA.

Rumor taking her first ASCA National Premier
Champion award at the 2004 National Speciality in
Pasa Robles under Senior Breeder Judge, Debra
Gower. This was, without a doubt, one of the most
exciting moments I've ever had in the show ring. I
know that for some, showing at the Nationals is old
hat, but for me, the moment when I realized that we
had made the top 10 was one I will never forget.
Rumor follow up this win with a Premier 1, Premier
5, and Premier 10 at the 2005 ASCA Nationals
Circuit in Conyers, Georgia.

has enjoyed as a Special. I would like to thank all
of the judges that have honored Rumor with these
wins:
