Dog - Open

FC Ketaru Kushinda Van Isaac I Am, JC, SC, FCh Van Isaac

As with any good breeding program, bringing in outside blood is a necessity to preserve not only good health but to strengthen characteristics. I, Kammi, was doing Roll Call at the 65th RRCUS National Specialty when I noticed a dog with impeccable movement. This dog was bred by Shonnie Beach of Ketaru Kennels. Naturally, we felt a dog from Ketaru would be an asset to the Kushinda Breeding Program. So, while at the ASFA II in 1996, we stopped by Shonnie's and selected a pup out of sire: CH Ridgelea Vartan the Master and dam: CH Ketaru Rodeo Drive. Van Isaac is being shown in the Open class.

With several 4th generation Kushinda dog's in tow, we felt it only fair to let Giorgio compete in the Brood Bitch class. Remember, Giorgio's sister Imari was the No. 1 RR Puppy for sometime.
