Ripley came into my life as a
gift from two very dear friends. He was living a peaceful
life at Nik Nak Ranch with his full brother Riot.
Ripley started his show career in 2003 in grand style. With
no training and his second time on the leash he took his
first Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best of Breed over
Specials for a 5 point major under breeder judge Pattie
Wirries.
Ripley continued his winning ways by going BOB or BOS over
specials to finish his ASCA championship in
four weekends. Ripley was #5 in the 2004 and 2005
and #13 in the 2006 ASCA conformation merit standings. Ripley
qualified twice for the Conformation
Invitational at the ASCA National Specialty 2005 in
Georgia &
2006 in Wisconsin.
Ripley also attended
the Del Mar Fair to represent Aussies at our affiliate club
booth. He is pictured with his co-owners and breeders Kandi Nack, Karen
Russell and his good buddy "Bernie"

Deposit No Return.
Ripley won multiple Premiers,
Award of Merit's and multiple Best Veteran Awards at
National Specialties and Pre shows. He was indeed a very
special dog with an awesome personality, quite a sense of
humor and incredible movement.
Ripley won over 50 Best of
Breeds and several Best Opposite Sex awards in his 3 year
show career. Sadly, we lost Ripley suddenly and very
unexpectedly after the 2006 National Specialty.
A special thanks go out to
all the judges for seeing the fine qualities in our
beloved Ripley and turning our dream into a reality.
Especially, thank you
Rip-Man for sharing your life with us. It truly was an
incredible journey.

Toast of the Town at Sundown
Riot came to visit and start his show career
shortly after his brother Ripley finished his championship. Riot
instantly fit in well with the family and captured my
heart like just like his younger brother Ripley.
Riot had 13
points in ASCA including a Best of Breed over Specials.
Due to a severe injury Riot was altered and completed the
last 2 points for his championship from the Altered
division.
This huggable, handsome
boy will be sure to turn your head.

Riot has won multiple Altered
Best of Breeds and Best Opposites as well as Premiering at
the 2004 ASCA National Specialty. Riot tied for 8th place
in the 2004/2005 ASCA altered conformation merit standings
and qualified for the Crystal Jubilee Conformation
Invitational at the 2005 National Specialty in Georgia.
We are so proud of our
Veteran Gentleman with only a year and a half of showing.
Riot is now enjoying full retirement as the head of the
household.
