Valor is from our 2nd litter with Libby. He was our meet and greet dog when people came to see us. For such a big boy (95# and 28 inches tall) he had such a great temperament and personality. He exceeded our expectations for him and became one of our best conformation dog that we have produced. Valor was in the Top 25 for all ridgebacks competing in AKC conformation for 2 years in a row (2014 and 2015). In 2016 he earned an Reserve Best in Show Owner Handler and an Best in Show Owner Handler (BISOH). November 5, 2017 Valor earned his 2nd BISOH. Still rolling as a veteran in 2018 he earned his 3rd BISOH and his Gold Grand Champion. He retired from the show ring in November or 2018 by earning a Hound Group 2nd. He will be greatly missed by us.
