Ragan is a very special girl and she knows it. We lost her mother Ali when Ragan was 6 months old, so she tends to get away with things she shouldn't. She has a wonderful outgoing personality and knows no stranger. Her show career started with a bang when she won Best of Breed from the bred by class over specials at 7 months old. At her next show a month later, she again won Best of Breed from the classes over specials and was also the best breeder owner handled dog. She went on to win the Owner Handler group. Ragan won Best in Puppy Sweepstakes at the Welsh Springer National Specialty this year. To say that we are thrilled with her is definitely an understatement!!


BIS GCHB Rolyart's Crocodile Rock - Ragan
We are so incredibly proud of Ragan - she is now an ALL Breed BEST IN SHOW Winner.  She is the 3rd female in the History of the breed to win and ALL Breed Best in Show.  We are honored to have bred / owned and handled 2 of them to this prestigious honor.
Some bonds are too deep for words, and the love of a special dog is one of them. Ragan was one of those dogs. She gave us everything she could, the overwhelming highs in the show ring, the whelping box and just her large everyday presence. She was the 3rd female to win an All Breed Best in Show and it was Owner Handled. She was a multiple Owner Handler Best in Show winner, Olympian Cup and Wildfire Award winner, National Specialty Best in Puppy Sweeps and Best in Veteran Sweeps winner. When she moved to the whelping box she continued to prove how extraordinary she was. She is the producer of a National Specialty Best of Breed winner, multiple CH’s, group placers, Owner Handler Group placers/ OH Best in Show winners and many that are excelling as performance dogs.  

Yet, her accolades don't scratch the surface of what she meant to us. Her loss has left a hole that won't ever be filled. "You are missed" will never be enough. The fact that we haven’t put her loss on social media speaks volumes to what she meant to us. It would be like losing her again. Run free, sweet girl. You are loved beyond words.
