Wow this year went fast. Heading into the AKC National Championship shows in a few weeks already. Torey worked on her Grand Champion title and her Field Champion titles and is doing well. She has all her GCH majors and one FC major. She is growing up nicely. She LOVES to run so we hope to have fun on the field with her. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Puppy Silas started his show career and already has 9 points and one major towards his championship. He has placed every time he has been in the ring. Only 3 weekends of shows. So proud of this boy. Lots of compliments on him on his looks and his great temperament. I set him up his own page on the site. </p>Amber Trace Rhodesian Ridgebackstag:ambertracerr.com,2005:Post/66316922021-05-16T09:41:01-04:002021-05-16T09:41:01-04:00April News - A New Champion!<p>Mazey snagged that final point to complete her championship at the Elkton show on 4/10/21. Our good friend Raul handled her to the Winner's win. She showed well for him. This girl has completed everything we have asked of her and is super sweet. </p>

<p>Her half sister Torey was in the breed ring and received a 3 point major towards her Grand Championship going Select the same day. Proud of this young girl too. </p>
<p>Baby Silas visited his first show and had a blast. Silas is our singleton puppy from Scarlett born on Christmas Eve. He is the newest addition to the pack. One spoiled baby boy!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span class="font_large">Torey (Amber Trace Bring It On) won back to back 5 point majors in January at the Brooksville shows. So, we now have a new Champion! At 11 months old this girl likes to strut her stuff and finished easily with 4 majors and 19 total points. She also completed her JC (Junior Courser) title March and so far LOVES the chase. </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span class="font_large">We celebrated with an Ad that will be coming out in the RRCUS magazine soon.</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/175140/0ddbc42b8b9cf4d0fd3e913dc8bda752a5a2adbd/original/img-5853.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span class="font_large">Mazey (Amber Trace It's Amazing To Be Me) also earned her JC (Junior Courser) title. She was competitive in shows too picking up some class wins and a Reserve Winner's placement at the Lakeland shows in February. Still chasing that one point to complete her conformation championship. Sooooo close!</span></strong></p>

COVID limited events and being able to watch the judging on site. I watched from the live stream and stayed home. However, on Friday we brought Mazey and Torey to compete. The entry was 81 Ridgebacks! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Torey (Amber Trace Bring It On) won 9-12 month puppy girl class and Mazey (Amber Trace It's Amazing To Be Me) won the Bred By Exhibitor girl class. That means I have two girls to show in the Winners class at the same time! Luckily we have friends to help out and Rhonda (daddy Turk's breeder) showed Mazey for me. They received a Reserve Winners award. Here is the official win picture.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/175140/1ad7511522fd144251301cf4924af69b430ca8d5/original/5s3a2483.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Last show of the year for us. </span></p>

There were multiple weekends of dog shows in Ocala for the young Amber Trace girls to attend. Lots of Ridgebacks entered and lots of professional handlers here for this circuit of shows. Sometimes I was the only non-pro in the ring! All three Amber Trace bred girls managed to pick up a major each from these events. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">Zynga - (Amber Trace SoUnique at Ropasa) was the first to win and get her first points. Handled by Sweetie Kay and it was a 4 point major. She was also Reserve Winners the day before. She is settling nicely and her owner Robyn and I are pleased with her progress. This wild red head is growing up! She also has her OFA certifications passing hips, elbows, and cardiac. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/175140/782bd1881e2acf33118fe29f6486923b0aad1274/original/img-4914.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Next was Mazey (Amber Trace It's Amazing To Be Me) who went Winners, Best Of Winners AND Best of Opposite over a special for a 4 point major. She needs 1 point to finish her championship. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/175140/c156df3c817d9ad1f490f17a357196725d61c205/original/dsc7261-copy.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span><span class="font_large">Then the baby, Torey, (Amber Trace Bring It On) placed as Winners for a 4 point major. Torey has 9 points now with both her needed majors. Great for only 9 months old! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/175140/766f08085078fba0b932b37b6d75be7200f20164/original/dsc7422-copy.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Very happy with all 3 of these girls!</span></p>

All active and healthy. We already see pretty heads and colors and nice ridges. Zoey is the BEST Mom and really enjoys her babies. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We went to our first dog show 9/26 since January and puppy Torey (Scarlett & Turk) was a rockstar! She handled all the hustle and noise of a big show well and was curious and outgoing. Great for my COVID under socialized puppy. Her very first time in the show ring she won her class then went on to beat all the class girls and go Best of Winners over the boys too! We were also awarded Best Puppy and Best Owner Handled. What an awesome start! On the second day, she won her class too. Mazey wasn't as impressed about being back in the ring but she is always easy to show. She only needs 5 points and is still young too. We will show in Ocala in October and the outside shows are more fun for the dogs. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">Raul Lopez's puppy Sora from our bred by girl ZsaZsa (Amber & Brody litter) had her ring debut too. She was Best of Breed 4-6 month puppy and earned a hound group 3 placement. So fun to watch the next generation growing up. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">So proud of baby Torey!</span></p>

She traveled to Greenville, South Carolina with her daddy Turk's owners and was shown by Frank Murphy. Mazey won Winner's Bitch all 4 show days! She earned 7 more point towards her championship. Best of all she was happy and traveled well. She enjoyed camping in a motorhome and playing with other dogs. At least one of us went on a vacation this year. Proud of our girl.</p>

They both are enjoying coursing and earning some titles. More importantly they have wonderful temperaments and are active and healthy dogs. Events were in early March 2020.</p>
<p>Zynga (Amber Trace SoUnique at Ropasa) has earned four AKC titles so far this year. She has her CGC (Canine Good Citizen), JC (Junior Courser), RATI (Barn Hunt Instinct) and TKN (Trick Dog Novice) titles. Showing her versatility and willingness to try new things. Zynga also has points towards her FC (Field Champion) title for going Best Of Breed at her first trial.</p>
<p>Odell (Amber Trace A Star Is Born) LOVES to course and earned his JC title and has his QC (Qualified Courser) certification to start competing.. We hope he will attend some trials this fall. He may even get in the show ring later this year.</p>

February 2020<p>Scarlett's pups were born on 2/6/20. Scarlett started acting a bit restless as I watched her on a camera while at work. It was a few days earlier than expected, but I decided to head home as she was not comfortable. My Mom came over to help out and we sat around for a few hours while Scarlett laid on my couch. She looked perfectly content and I thought it was a false alarm. She then got up and asked to go outside around 11AM. Her water broke when she was coming back inside and the first pup was born 30 minutes later. She got right down to business! Scarlett is a great mom and all the pups are healthy. I can't ask for more than that. I take breeding very seriously and each litter is carefully planned. Ridgebacks have been in our lives for 13 plus years and this is our 4th litter. We hope to keep a puppy from this breeding. It will be a 2nd generation Amber Trace bred dog. The goal is to stay true to the Ridgeback standard for structure, type and health. These puppies are little now but I can already see lovely heads and nice structure in these babies. They are beautiful puppies. I am sure I will be posting about their future adventures.</p>Amber Trace Rhodesian Ridgebackstag:ambertracerr.com,2005:Post/62094742020-02-09T14:40:31-05:002020-12-04T09:00:28-05:00January 2020 - New Points and New Titles<p>January is a busy month in Florida. Nice weather and plenty of events had our dogs busy.</p>
<p>First off, ZsaZsa (Amber Trace Bella Regazza at Avanti) won the Breed and a Owner Handled Group Placement at the Miami shows with her owner.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/175140/d70ca8596fe9340da294df5097585ad27d6c9293/original/img-1282.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Rainbow (Amber Trace Sunshine and Raindrops) made her show debut in Brooksville and did well for the first time in the ring. She is a lovely Zoey and Turk daughter.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/175140/8edd824fa087eb2bc5aa64e9e48daa00c127f136/original/img-0926-1.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Zynga (Amber Trace SoUnique at Ropasa) completed her CGC (Canine Good Citizen) title and her JC (Junior Courser) title. Proving she is a good girl and she likes to chase the Lure. We hope she becomes another great athlete like her Grandmother Zuri for her owner Robyn. </p>

<p>Mazey (Amber Trace It's Amazing To Be Me) won Winners, Best Of Winners, and Best of Opposite for a major win and her first points. She also won Reserve Winners the day before. </p>

<p>Proud of all these Amber Trace babies.

All the dogs showed so well.</p>
<p>The highlight for us was baby Mazey (Amber Trace It's Amazing To Be Me) from our Zoey x Turk litter showed winning the breed at the Puppy/Junior Stakes at Royal Canin. She also won her class at the Regional RRCUS Supported Specialty and the next day at the AKC National Championship Show. She did everything asked of her at only 7 months old! </p>
<p>Zynga (Amber Trace SoUnique at Ropasa) won her class both days.</p>
<p>ZsaZsa (Amber Trace Bella Ragazzi at Avanti) placed in her class both days.</p>
<p>Scarlett (GCH CH Amber Trace Burning Up The Way JC) showed in breed and made the cut in a large class on Friday. </p>
<p>All of them showed well and were confident and happy at this huge event. We are proud of all of them!</p>

Mazey and Link showed well for me and I am happy with how both are doing. No points for either one but some compliments from the judges and good experiences for both. Scarlett made an appearance the last day in Ocala and received a Select placement. She hadn't been in the ring since February and she was happy to strut her stuff. </p>
<p>On the field, Mazey and Rainey (both Zoey x Turk littermates) tried puppy fun practices and showed interest in the lure. Odell (Zoey x Mozi) tried the lure one day and completed his first leg of a JC (Junior Courser) title. He was so excited and LOVED the chase. We hope to see more of him on the field. </p>
<p>I continue to receive updates from families on our pups and all have been doing well. Most important is that they are all reporting healthy pups with wonderful temperaments. I am grateful this holiday season for wonderful homes for them and families that stay in contact with me.</p>
<p>We will be at Royal Canin in a couple of weeks with Mazey, Scarlett, and Zynga. Link and Rainey will be in the ring next year and hopefully a few more as we watch these pups mature. </p>

We had fun raising Mazey and enjoying updates from the puppy families. All the puppies have settled into their new homes and all the reports are positive. Happy puppies and families are what we like best! I will add pictures from the families on the litter page. They are all looking so good. Very happy with our Zoey and Turk babies.</p>
<p>Link and Mazey started practicing for upcoming shows in early September. Link, Mazey, and Zynga (Zoey x Mozi) went to a local AKC B Match event. Great for first time show dogs to go to a smaller event. There are no points awarded but they get ribbons and placements and get experience. Link won Best of Breed over his two sisters and went on to win a Hound Group 2. They all did great and stood well for the judge exam. Just what we wanted. </p>

<p>Then on to the Deland show for Link and Mazey. Mazey was entered in the 4-6 month puppy competition and Link who just turned a year old was in the Bred By Class. Day 1 Mazey won her class, then the Group! So exciting to go into the puppy Best In Show ring and have all of our breeder friends cheer us on. Turk's owner, Turk's breeder, and Zoey's breeder were all there. Link was a bit too playful in the ring for a good look from the judges the first day. He was all happy feet!</p>

<p>2nd Day Mazey did it again with another Hound Group win! Link settled down a bit and won Reserve Winner's Dog under his uncle (Zoey's brother) Zandy who went Winner's Dog. ZsaZsa (Amber & Brody) was also there and she won Reserve Winner's Bitch in a large entry of 13 girls. She looked great. We have so much fun being with friends and watching our dogs do well!</p>

A last minute issue meant that one family wasn't ready for a puppy so..... we just had to keep one here. It was meant to be as I was struggling with not keeping one from this litter. Therefore, Lavender girl is staying and is now known as Mazey - Amber Trace It's Amazing To Be Me. </p>

<p>We attended the Tampa shows too where Link - Amber Trace Breath Of The Wild made his debut. He was bouncy and wiggly and had a good time. No exciting wins for him but he learned a lot and we are pleased with his first time out. </p>
<p>I also showed his sister Zynga - Amber Trace SoUnique at Ropasa and she went Best Puppy on Saturday and completed her Puppy Of Achievement certificate from AKC. A puppy has to earn 10 points before the age of 12 months by placing at least first in their class to get a point. </p>
<p>ZsaZsa - Amber Trace Bella Ragazza at Avanti also showed well that weekend. I always enjoy seeing ZsaZsa as she gives me lots of love and smiles. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="font_regular">Bill and I spent a weekend at the NLCC event (AKC National Lure Coursing Competition) in Ocala. We were there as host members for our club. None of our dogs competed in the event. We worked hard but enjoyed watching all the sighthounds competing in this annual event for the title of the 2018 National Lure Coursing Best In Event.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="font_regular">We took Scarlett to 3 days of shows in Ocala too and she placed each day for 5 more points towards her AKC Grand Championship. She earned a Best of Opposite along with a Best Owner Handled and two Select placements. She hadn't been in the ring since June so it was nice to get her back out there. Her sister ZsaZsa showed 2 days and went Winner's for 2 more points towards her Championship. I was happy to get to see her win! It was the first time I was able to be there. ZsaZsa and her owner, Raul, have won 5 times in a row. That team is on a roll! </span></p>

Friday and Saturday she won Best of Winners and Best Of Breed Owner Handler. Both wins were 4 point majors! Sunday she won her class but no points. We had a great time and are so proud of this puppy! Her sister ZsaZsa also competed at the shows and had lots of fun. ZsaZsa is so full of wiggles and bounce in the ring. Love watching her with her owner Raul. It was a wonderful long weekend with good friends, good food, and great dogs.</p>

A quick trip in the ring and we left right after to minimize exposure of the dog flu that is going around. Scarlett showed well and was awarded Winner's Bitch, Best of Winners, and Best of Breed Owner Handler. This gives her another point towards her championship. Afterwards, we met with some of the SSRRC club members for a club meeting. We did not go back to the show for Owner Handler group competition and we did not stay for a picture. Here is a fun picture of her goofing around in the yard. Now 10 months old!</p>

Scarlett placed as Winner's Bitch and Best of Opposite earning her a 3 point major! Her sister ZsaZsa finished Reserve Winner's Bitch! This was the first points for this litter, first major win, and first win from the Bred-By class for me. It was made even more special because it was their daddy Brody's birthday. A wonderful fun day for the girls and us. Thank you Judge Cathy Daugherty!</p>

We brought Zoey, her brother Zandy, and her mother Zuri. Zuri competed in Veteran's Stakes in Lure Coursing and placed 5th. She ran well and received a nice ribbon and glass art trophy. Zandy competed in the American Bred Dog class with me showing him and we won the class! It was very exciting to compete in the Winner's ring at the National with some of the top people in the breed. We did not place in that class but had fun. The next day, was the girls and Zoey and I competed in the Amateur Owner Handler class and finished 4th. Zuri and Zoey were suppose to compete in the Brace class but Zuri was a little sore from Lure Coursing so we skipped that class. We were very happy to place in each event. Met a lot of new people and enjoyed all the events. Best of all was to see in person most of the top dogs in the country and the up and coming puppies and young dogs. <br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/175140/4917e113cb563b61e40d6eea0c80d8f12ceaa996/original/img-2213.jpg?1476729401" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/175140/47e28db4ffeab4cd25e61ea3a43745eeaeab9b58/original/img-2215.jpg?1476729401" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/175140/775095b59948902d9707d094c718dcf56d0768c1/original/img-2214.jpg?1476729402" class="size_l justify_center border_" /> Amber Trace Rhodesian Ridgebackstag:ambertracerr.com,2005:Post/43504562016-08-31T09:17:31-04:002020-11-22T15:18:09-05:00New ArrivalsPuppies born 8/27/16.

We have less than two weeks before puppies are due! An x-ray is scheduled for next week so we can get an idea of litter size. Preparations have been started including setting up the whelping room and gathering supplies. We are beyond excited about this litter and are hoping for a safe delivery with healthy puppies. Check out the Amber x Brody litter page on this site to follow us on this journey. That page will be updated often.Amber Trace Rhodesian Ridgebackstag:ambertracerr.com,2005:Post/43012402016-07-29T17:07:34-04:002020-08-12T02:41:22-04:00Summer TimeFlorida is hot, hot, hot this time of year and Lure Coursing and AKC shows take a break locally. In June, Amber finished up her Grand Champion title at the Tampa shows. Just in time to be bred. On June 28th, she had a procedure to implant frozen semen from Brody. Now we wait approximately 63 days for puppies. That makes her due date on August 30th. We are so excited about our first litter of Ridgebacks. Years ago, Bill and I bred Samoyeds and had fun raising those puppies.

Through March, Trace is ranked #10 in ASFA for Rhodesian Ridgebacks with 53 competing dogs so far. Zoey is still interested in coursing but doesn't like to run the whole course and get so far away from me yet. We will keep practicing with her. We will be coursing a few more times before it gets really hot and then Florida events will take a break until the fall. Our next event is this weekend for an AKC trial in Ocala.<br><br> Amber went back in the ring after 6 months and has been doing great! Amber and Zoey received their IABCA International titles in April. Amber went on to a Best of Breed award and a Group 2! I took her to the Zolfo Springs shows and she received a Best of Breed the first day and Select on Sunday. It was hot, hot, hot but she enjoyed hanging out with me. We plan on attending the Deland and Tampa shows in May and June. <br><br>We hope to breed Amber this summer! So excited for puppies! More details to follow.Amber Trace Rhodesian Ridgebackstag:ambertracerr.com,2005:Post/39688512015-12-31T07:59:16-05:002017-01-12T10:26:16-05:00Goodbye 2015 <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/175140/af724cb830409f518dfcbb0a478c4d26f2abd08c/original/zoey-3.jpg?1451572561" class="size_l justify_center border_" />As the end of the year draws near, I am looking forward to 2016. We had fun and learned a lot at the big Eukanuba shows and events in December. I showed Zoey in the Specialty Sweeps and classes on Friday and then in the 12-18 month class on Saturday. We both have some things to work on. The judges had nice things to say about her but she was a bit skittish in the ring. There were a couple of incidents that had her freaked out so she pretty much slunk around the ring. She will get the hang of it soon. She spent a couple of hours at the Meet the Breeds booth greeting people stopping by and showing off her ridge to people who have never seen a Ridgeback before. She did well and we met a lot of nice people. Our plans for 2016 are to show Zoey locally and get her more comfortable in the ring and also start her on the field Lure Coursing. Amber may get back in the ring to finish up her Grand Championship too. We are considering breeding her in the summer. Trace will be on the field also participating in ASFA and AKC events. I am planning on attending the National breed show in Ohio this year. It will be my first Ridgeback National event. Lots of things to look forward to! Have a great 2016.Amber Trace Rhodesian Ridgebackstag:ambertracerr.com,2005:Post/39250342015-11-15T12:32:19-05:002015-12-31T13:13:53-05:002015 RecapWe started out the year sending Amber in February up north with her breeder, Frank Murphy, hunting for majors for her championship. He quickly finished her for us and she was back home in early April. I took her to the Deland show and her first time in the breed ring she went Best of Breed for a major towards her Grand Championship! I also showed puppy Zoey and she is on her way to learning how to be a show dog. We attended only local shows and coursing events in the Spring and started back up in the Fall. Amber picked up more points towards her GCH and also earned her SC in coursing. Trace earned more ASFA points towards his LCM and even an AKC point towards his FC. Zoey practiced on the field and she is still learning the ropes in the ring. She received a couple of Reserve Winners Bitch awards too. Zoey also received her International Champion title from competing in the ICE shows.Amber Trace Rhodesian Ridgebacks
