  • Biographies of the Nominees for the RRCUS 2020/2021 Slate of Officers and Directors
    Biographies of the Nominees for the RRCUS 2020/2021 Slate of Officers and Directors PRESIDENT Anne Jones I purchased my first Ridgeback in 1990, my plan was to show her in Obedience. We finished a UD together and she was the first Ridgeback to earn an MX in agility. I fell head over heels in love with the breed and with the entire dog show world. Performance is my first love and over the last 25 years I have had two MACH Ridgebacks, several in top ten obedience and agility, two BIF coursing dogs and two Triathlon Winners. I’ve won three AOM’s at National Specialties with my own dogs, from Veteran’s classes and Field Dog. With my first conformation dog I stood in the BIS ring twice, a thrill I will never forget. RRCUS provides education, ethical guidance, health testing recommendations and National Specialties that bring so many of our club members together. RRCUS is the foundation that helps our members produce healthy, versatile, beautiful Ridgebacks. I love our club and have given back by volunteering as Agility, Obedience and Triathlon Chair, 12 years as Director, and 1 year as 1st VP. I was a retail manager for 20 years and finished my career with ToysRus as a Store Director before starting my own business as a Dog Trainer in 1996, a career I still love 23 years later. I have been President and VP of the 4 Paw Agility Club of North GA, Chair for its agility trials, and Treasurer and Obedience Chair for the Atlanta Kennel Club.

Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States. History Separatists in Scrooby The core of the group that would come to be known as the Pilgrims were brought together by a common belief in the ideas promoted by Richard Clyfton, a Brownist parson at All Saints' Parish Church in Babworth, Nottinghamshire, between 1586 and 1605.

KCBH hosts two of its own shows on Saturday and Sunday, March 2-3, with more than 1,500 dogs of some 200 breeds and varieties expected each day at the Los Angeles County Fairplex in Pomona. But this year, there are a lot of other clubs showing up as well, with 11 independent specialties on the day before (Friday, March 1), including two shows from the famed Great Western Terrier Club, as well as 28 supported entries over the weekend. Of course, the dogs are the stars, but there will be some dog-loving Hollywood red carpet TV and movie celebrities sprinkled in amongst the activities to bring a few more smiles to the day. Two years ago, KCBH joined the NBC Universal family in a cross-country partnership with the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, becoming another widely-watched national TV network dog show on a family holiday, with millions of viewers. The Saturday KCBH show on March 2 is called the Beverly Hills Dog Show Presented by Purina, taped for broadcast on Easter Sunday, April 21 (10am PT, 1pm ET). KCP has a television name of The National Dog Show Presented by Purina and airs on Thanksgiving Day, which just happened a few months ago before a television audience of more than 25 million viewers.
