Rudi started his show career in the US in grand style by winning the prestigious Kem Memorial Sweeps Stakes. He was accompanied on this trip by his little sister Trudy who placed second to her brother in the Kem Sweeps. The following day Rudi won a three point major while his sister won the sweeps stakes. A few weeks later they went to another US Specialty Show and were awarded Winners Dog and Winners Bitch for four point majors. This gave Rudi seven American points. This winning pair is two out of the four that finished from that litter. Rudi went to only a few Canadian Shows, and completed his Canadian title, finishing with a Best of Breed win. Watch for his puppies in the spring 2000. Watch for Rudi at the US Shows in 2000!
