RUFUS
 

 

Ch. Rocky Top's Sundance Kid, a/k/a "Rufus," is coming to the Morris County Library on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at 7:00 pm. Children of all ages are invited to meet "Rufus" whose career record includes 32 Bests in Show including Westminster in 2006. "Rufus," a Bull Terrier Dog, is the first Bull Terrier to win Westminster. "Rufus" is also a pet therapy dog and enjoys sitting nicely for petting. So, bring your own camera and take a picture with "Rufus" and his big blue Westminster ribbon. Rufus' owner Barbara Bishop of Holmdel, NJ and James Dixon with Stradbrook Kennels in Long Valley will give a short talk on the ins and outs of the dog show world, Westminster history - a tradition since 1877 - and some local dog lore. Who knows? Maybe your dog can win a Best in Show someday! This free event is presented by MARDOG, Inc. the Morris Area Responsible Dog Owners Group that brought you the off-leash dog park in Morris Township. Come meet "Rufus" and network with fellow dog owners. The talk will begin at 7:00 pm followed by a Q&A, picture taking and light refreshments. The event is free and will be held in the Public Meeting Room of the Morris County Library, 30 East Hanover Avenue, Whippany.  To RSVP, email Alison at mardog@optonline.net if you plan to attend.
