"Dottie" is a sister to River, who I co-own with Bud & Sherry. As granddad Rock's owner and "matchmaker" in the breeding of Shadow & Winnie, I was given charge of Dottie in the show ring in June 2004, and thereafter she never won anything less than a blue ribbon. Shown sparingly between field trials, she finished easily, winning a 5-point specialty Best of Opposite Sex over a special along the way. She also gained two Best in Sweepstakes wins (one over the ABC Summer Specialty weekend) and was Best of Opposite Sex in Sweepstakes at the ABC National Specialty show in 2004.

Dottie was started in the field by trainer John Kline. She had multiple Puppy and Derby placements as well as her Puppy points, with myself, breeder/owner Sherry Larsen, and John Kline handling. She is a little rocket in the field with drive and intensity to spare, that she also carried to the show ring where her beautiful, flowing side gait always got her a good look. After John's retirement from trialing at the 2005 Nationals, Dottie got her first All Age win with handler Tommy Tracy. She returned home in 2007, well on her way to her Dual Championship but had to take a break from competition as she was treated for Lyme disease. She had her first litter in April 2009 (sired by DC Lost Creek Timber Ridge). Their daughter, Ch. Almaden's Timber Ridge Tess finished her show title in just one month of shows at 13 months old, and has multiple Puppy and Derby wins in the field. Dottie returned to field trials in Fall 2009 with Ed Tillson, and completed her Dual Championship with Ed handing in January 2011. See her win record & littermates below. Dottie's second litter, sired by DC Masked Jack of Diamonds, was born in March 2012 and already has two winners including GCH Almaden's Masked Shadow Dancer, who finished her show title in one month followed by her Grand Championship in 7 shows, at 15 months of age.
