Rio
(Born on the 30th March 1998)
Dad: Touchstone Ready Set Rev'm (Mario)
Mum: Bluefire's Little Madam (Madam)
Rio is our first Aussie boy and one could say that he is a bit lively, but that is
what we wanted. We wanted a working dog and that is what we got. Rio is a big boy,
but this has been to his advantage. He enjoys all working events, some a little to much.
For example his concentration can sometimes get the better of him. Judges in obedience
competitions has remarked "he has small moments of brilliance and other times his mind
is elsewhere'. Having said that he does enjoy his agility and this is what we
wanted him for. The upper picture on the left shows Rio competing in a novice agility event
during 2003. Most of the time he competes well, but occasionally he has been know to
leave the ring and run into the pig's ear stall or after a squeeky toy.
Rio also likes other woking events, he has obtained his first Newfoundland swimming
certificate and the level 4 and level 5 Leonberger draught certificate.
He has also competed at the Bernese carting events and obtained a 3rd place (Scotland 2003).
He is great with people and therefore an excellent ambassidor for the carting events and
parades that we cover throughout the year (lower picture on the left).
He has obtained his 'Gold Good Citizen' award (see below right)
and been given an 'excellent' grade for his character assessment (see below left),
