“Rest in Peace Rosie”
Dam : Ch Whroo Aloise
Rosie was one of our foundation bitches here at Tobenlee Kennels.
Rosie is still the current breed record holder for the greatest number of Melbourne Royal breed challenges with a total of five.
The last of these she won at the ripe old age of nine and a half. Rosie went on to convert three of these to Best of Breeds.
Rosie was only ever beaten six times for Bitch Challenge in her show career, and retired from the ring with over 600 challenge points. No mean feat as until recently no Brittany in Australia had ever won a 25 point Best In Group challenge.
Rosie was also an extremely successful brood bitch, being the dam of our second Dual Champion. Dual Ch Tobenlee Misty O Dee,” Dee Dee”, Aust Ch Tobenlee Rebel Rouser ,”Britt”, Who are featured on this web site.
