In December 2005 after much searching for
the right addition Argos came to Canada!
Argos certainly livened things up, hitting
the show world running with major wins, right from the first day. At
six months and one week old, at his very first show, Argos was awarded
Best of Breed under a large entry which included several Can and US
Champions. Little did we know this his was just the beginning! In
August, as a 10 mth old Argos earned his first Best Puppy in Show, and
his second in September, which was just a glimmer of things to come.
Argos ended up finishing 2006 with Breed wins and Group Placements at
Canada's Largest Show which brought him to the 2006 #2 RIDGEBACK in
CANADA! Amazing!! And a surprise because he showed for only half the
year and for that he was as a Puppy!
In 2007 Argos became the #1 Ridgeback in
Canada! With fairly limited showing Argos has already been awarded
Multiple Hound Group Wins, an all breed Best In Show, as well as an All
Hound Best In Specialty Show! 2008 found Argos #1 again accumulating more
all breed Best In Shows and making him the top point Ridgeback in the
Canadian Kennel Club Data Base. In 2009 he was show more sparingly but he
acquired another Best In Show and finished the year #1 again. For 2010 Argos was shown very selectively
and after taking 5 months off in Canada, Argos and Lance returned and
in one weekend jumped to the #1 position again for the majority of the
year. Even though he was only shown 6 weekends, he still ended up the
#1 Dog for 2010
Argos and Lance faired well south of the
border and in only 4 shows completed his American Championship with 4
majors and 17 points, with a Breed win over Specials, and a Hound Group
3! He also completed his American Junior Courser Title in just 2 runs!
Argos is now a multi group placer in the States and in 2009 with very
little showing, Argos finished as a US Top 20 Dog!
Coso Rhodesians is very
thankful to his breeders, the Hayeks from HPK Tropaco Kennels, for
entrusting us with this very special boy. Argos and Lance made history in
Canada by becoming the top winning Ridgeback in the CKC database but we
are excited what the future will bring us. With his correct size,
balanced structure and breed desired bone and substance, with limited
breedings, he has already left his mark and is passing on exceptional
quality! Look for his fabulous offspring at select shows in the
US and Canada.
