Captain: Ch. Zareba’s Midnight Runner, FCh, CD, RN, JC, TT, CGC, VC

Captain is Zareba's most titled and most "famous" dog. In 2006, he was awarded the RRCUS Versatility Certificate, one of only 8 dogs in the country to get the award that year. As his owner/handler, it was such an accomplishment for us. That same year, he also finished in the RRCUS Top 20 Obedience and sired his first litter.

He is a dream dog. With his rock solid temperament, happy and outgoing yet laid back personality and fun loving antics he always knows how to bring a smile to your face. He is very driven and loves to work for me, he’s led a very busy life and has taken it in stride knowing he’s always the one at my side. In the show ring, he’s a natural crowd pleaser and feeds off of the attention so it makes it hard to leave him at home now that he’s retired. 

Always by my side, Captain is my best friend. If I go for a walk he’s there or sit on the couch, he’s in my lap. Captain is also a counter-cleaning machine! His most recent edibles include a wooden spoon and Rubbermaid Tupperware... 

Captain’s fluid movement and correct type have earned him many Best of Breed’s over top ranked specials throughout the years. He also finished his championship with 4 majors including back-to-back 5 point majors under age 2.

At the Orance Coast Rhodesian Ridgeback Club Regional Specialty, Captain won Best Veteran and won The Am/Mex CH Rob Norm’s Diamond Jim Brady Memorial Challenge Trophy. A silver-plated 15” Georgian Round Tray with Handles by Oneida offered by Myrna and Joe Berger for competition at OCRRC Specialty Shows only. It was quite a day for 10.5 year-old Captain!

True beauty knows no age, even as a veteran Captain continues to prove this. He can't be stopped...
