Bling's Info

GCHB CH VYRTUOUS TEN CARET STONE, MC CGC TKN

Bling finished her conformation title on October 3, 2015 in Dallas, TX with a major win. She is quite the show girl and has been mostly owner handled. Bling went on to complete her Grand Championship title in 6 shows and has multiple Best of Breed wins. She also has multiple Owner Handled Group Placements and regular group placements. To date, Bling has 17 points towards her Field Championship title and just lacks 1 major to finish. She easily finished her Bronze Grand Championship title and really taught me how to show and compete in conformation events. This year, 2021, Bling was shown as a Veteran at the Rhodesian Ridgeback National Specialty in Mesquite, Texas. She was awarded 1st place and Best Veteran in Sweeps under Sweepstakes Judge Nicole Rupert. She also went on to take 1st place in her Veteran class under Judge John Arvin. Much to my delight she also won Best Brood Bitch with her offspring Jasper and Finn. This was a bittsweet moment as her Dam - Rijstone Faraway downs "Fiona" was also Best Brood Bitch in 2014 (Utah National) and her sire Vyrtuous Command Performance (2012 Florida National) was Best Stud Dog, shown and loved by Shawna Chastain (Vyrtuous Rhodesian Ridgebacks). These days Bling is mostly retired. She raised 2 beautiful litters for Heatherstone Rhodesian Ridgebacks and her pups are still showing and competing. She adores puppies and tends to take anything and everything under her charge here at the house. She was and still is a party girl and her sassy ways keep me well entertained.
