After several days, Lisa and Rumor were asked to pay the girl a visit. Rumor sat on a chair with his paws on the bed. Lisa picked up the girl s hand and started to stroke Rumor s paw. She would do that for a while and then put the hand back down. After nearly an hour there had been no reaction. But when Lisa started to take Rumor s paws off the bed, the girl s clenched hand came up, shaking and reaching for Rumor! Everyone was so excited that Rumor had helped the girl come out of her coma.

Always watching over me, always a playmate at the ready. My family had Rottweilers since the early 1970s and Labradors since 1992. When I was old enough to get an AKC junior handler number, I started showing the Labradors. 1 helped whelp and raise a Labrador litter of nine pups. A year later, when I was twelve, my family decided I needed a Rottweiler of my own and we met Chili (CH Cammcastle s Habanera Hattie). I spent six months with her at small shows and handling classes, getting her CGC and doing some rally classes. She finished her Championship at CRC with Holley Eldred handling her, then Chili and I won Best Junior the same day. A few weeks after that CRC, Paris (CH Cammcastle s Fleur de Lis, CGC) came home and I showed her for the next six months. It was hard sometimes in Junior Show when judges were afraid to examine her. Little did they know it was the toy dog next to us they should have been looking out for! I was told so many times by a judge that a Rottweiler isn t a Juniors dog, but I ignored them. I wasn t about to start showing a breed I had no interest in. Now I show in Juniors at the specialties or if I know a junior judge is also working breed judge. It s sad that my Junior showmanship career will be coming to an end in less than a year. I get to show all the dogs at the specialties, and even show in the Best of Breed ring. The professional handlers and experienced owners always take the time to help me, which I really appreciate. I still go to handling classes every week and hope to improve all the time. I took some handling seminars with George Alston and a Pat Trotter two day seminar on movement and structure. I also attended a two day seminar with Dr. Hutchison on breeding and puppy care and was lucky enough to spend some time with him and see his clinic. I helped breed and whelp Paris and Chili s litters. I got to see a Caesarian section, help wake the pups and start them on their first feeding. Eight puppies were a lot of work, but it was so much fun. A few didn t go to their homes until they were fifteen weeks old, so I had to housebreak and leash train some of them too. I got see them as Champions, only two years later, and I am very proud. I still have two to finish and I m trying to do that in the Bred by Exhibitor classes. When walking a Labrador, people always stop to pet them. When I have a Rottweiler, others typically cower, but I try to take the time so they will understand more that the Rottweiler is a friendly dog. When our local kennel club donated oxygen masks to the firehouses, I took Paris to demonstrate them and she was in the newspaper acting silly with a mask on, which was good for people to see. I suppose I will always have a Rottweiler to show, as long as there are shows to go to. I will probably only breed for the next generation to show, but never for pet sales or just to look like a big breeder. I wonder if people who do that truly have the commitment to take back every pup they produce at any time, and if they always have the time or room in their house to fulfill that commitment. The dogs have to live with me, never in the garage or in a kennel. I think Rottweiler owners have a big
responsibility to keep the breed healthy and to show the public they are a true companion, not something to fear. I am sure when I am older, I will be involved in the Club, helping new members and especially the Juniors. Hopefully our breed will remain the loyal and good tempered breed I have grown up with and the club will have members that are loyal to the breed as well. The high school I go to, John Handley High, is a historic school here in Winchester, built in 1923. It is a public school that was privately endowed, so it s a really special place. Right now I am taking all advanced placement courses. Some have dual enrollment with the local college, so I will have 23 college credits when I graduate. The college courses are much harder, but then I can graduate college maybe in three years because the credits will transfer. I also am a member of The National Honor Society, the Varsity Golf and Tennis teams and the Academic Team. I was awarded the Handley Scholar award and the AP Award from the College Board. I plan on going to college maybe to be a veterinarian or an orthopedic veterinary surgeon. I have this year at high school to finish first, then it will be time to decide. While everybody loves to win at the shows, I believe that the priority is to make sure the dogs are having fun enjoying the quality time with their handlers, and remembering that this is a sport where good sportsmanship should be the main goal. I will continue to work towards this goal in the future, and be involved for the good of the breed. 2012 ARC Production Awards (Compiled by Catherine M.
