Titles Won by Bridget’s ancestors

Bridget’s great grandfather, DC SportingField’s Jazz Fest SC “Rory” is a Dual Champion! He has won top honors in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Italy and many other countries. He is the only dog in America, of any breed, to have been number one of his breed in the show ring (1997 & 1998) and then number one performance dog (AKC lure coursing 1999). Rory is quite a hound!
