Romeo was purchased from SunStrike by David & Kristin Noe as a family pet.  Wanting to properly socialize him, David and Romeo attended a handling class run by Maryann Wilson, a friend of Jills.  Well Maryann went bonkers over this puppy and told David and I (Jill) that he should really show him!  After I saw him again, I fully agreed.

So we planned to meet for the GDCC match and I was going to handle him.  Well, I got stuck in traffic and missed his class.  Poor Kristin, who had no idea how to show a dog, took him into the class.  I later heard that he had a wonderful time rolling around in the grass!  However ringside was buzzing about this gorgeous young puppy and wanting to know who he was.  So started his show career.  He finished his championship at 14 months of age and has won several Best of Breeds including a Best In Show Specialty win under judge Eric Ringle.

Romeo IS a family pet and they all are very proud of his accomplishments.
