New NAKC International Champion, Chase!

Congratulations to new NAKC [formerly Rarities] International Champion Chase. Chase earned his International Championship after only two show weekends, finishing at the Brookville event. His owners and ISSDC-NE members, the Verderrosa family of NJ, are extremely proud of their boy and credit him and his breeder with getting them hooked on attending shows. "I have never shown a dog," explains Mary Anne "but Val said he was her show pup and well, my husband and I love going to the shows now."

Chase, Babbling Brook's Chase the Bullet, was bred by Babbling Brook Shilohs in PA and is one of eight Saber/Xena puppies born on December 27, 2006. Mary Anne just fell in love with him as she watched the puppies grow on the Babbling Brook website but he had already been spoken for. So she watched from afar, and as fate would have it he became available and Mary Anne jumped at the chance to bring him home.

Mary Anne describes Chase as a very sweet and loving boy who loves people, loves to play with his Shiloh "brother" Lobo and loves his toys. He likes to lie on the couch and look at Animal Planet while at home and Mary Anne says he just takes her breath away when she watches him in the ring with handler Daniel Rosa. "When I saw Daniel working with Chase, who was not trained for the ring, I stood back and couldn’t believe that was my pup, he looked amazing," shared Mary Anne.

So Congratulations to Chase and his family from your ISSDC-NE Shiloh family — may you have many more accomplishments to come!
