Captain
Ch. Zareba's Midnight Runner, FCh, CD, RN, JC, CGC, TDI, VC, ROM
Captain was one Zareba's most titled and most active dog in the early 2000's. In 2006, he was awarded the RRCUS Versatility Certificate, one of only 6 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!
He was 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. In the show ring, he’s a natural crowd pleaser and feeds off of the attention so it made it hard to leave him at home when he retired.
Captain's fluid movement and correct type have earned him many Best of Breeds over top specials throughout the years. He also finished his championship with 4 majors including back-to-back 5 point majors under age 2. Captain also was awarded Best Veteran every time he competed as a veteran for a total of 5 Bests!
At the 2008 Orange 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.
Marcin and I were so fortunate that Captain was at our wedding. It's not every day that your dog can be at your wedding to share the moment with you. This photo is a favorite moment of mine where our special bond was captured perfectly. He even had a bow-tie collar with a flowers pinned on it for the formal affair.
