Special thoughts go out to Gwen, on the loss of her beloved Dancer...

"And now, I'm glad I didn't know
the way it all would end
the way it all would go.
Our lives, better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd had to miss the Dance"

......Garth Brooks, The Dance

Rest in Peace, Brave Heart

Happy New Year from all of us here at Trojan Rottweilers!  We hope the year 2002 brings you everything you wish and dream for.

The year 2001 was very good for us.  It brought us our first owner-handled Best In Show, with our young male, Diezel, along with earning his American championship, also owner handled.  Diezel will rank for the year 2001 in the Top 5 Rottweilers in Canada.  It also brought us a great, new up-and-comer, Roborotts Vulnerable To None aka "Vinnie", shown only a few times, but still awarded VVN-1 at the West Coast Landesgruppe Sieger Show under Judge Joe Hedl in the 4-6 month class, and Best Puppy in both the Peace Arch Working and Herding Specialty and the Rottweiler Fanciers of BC Booster, and also a few RWDs.  And our young girl, Brie - Trojan's Brina vom Solanese HIC, picked up some points towards her Canadian championship, and earned her Herding Instinct Certificate.  She also went SG-1 at the West Coast Landesgruppe Sieger show in the 12-18 month class.

It was a great year to meet new friends, both on the inside and the outside of the ring.  Friendships have been formed that I am sure will last a lifetime.  There are certain people I wish to thank for all their support, input, advice, help, those "special" coffees on early show days and the Iron Chef parties.  A big thanks to;  Joy (for the on-going support and extremely helpful input...and I'm sorry I introduced you to Tim Horton's coffee <g>), Vaughn (Diezel's best buddy and wrestling partner), Pat (big thanks from Brie and even bigger to Thurston, from Diezel), Dawne (where to start? .....where else would I eat reindeer for dinner?), Joan (my "junior"), Jill (the keeper of the No-BOB section), Amy (my bleacher co-hort - and no, we didn't break the pointer clock), Tony (yes Tony, we know you don't like conformation), Larry (for keeping me entertained on more than one occasion), Cynthia and Kerry (for their help and input), Suzanne and Donna (for being great people and always having an open ear),  and Al and Anne (who helped out on many occasions, and came down to the shows, just to watch and cheer us on).  And in the US, I want to thank Dawn (hey, what is one more dog at your house, right?), Hilary (for having us down at your home and for all the great emails), Carol (for all the info and advice), and Tina and Rod (for all their support and having us in your home).  I'm sure I have forgotten someone....so please forgive me.  And lastly, thanks to the judges who made showing a wonderful experience. 

Wishing you all the best for the New Year!

See you at the shows!
