About Rowan:

Rowan is out of our wonderful foundation bitch, Ella.  Rowan is a Hound Group Winner, a multiple Best of Breed and Best of Opposite Sex winner over Best in Show and Top 10 ridgebacks.  Rowan also is the RRCUS Nat'l Specialty Res. Winners Dog (2008).  In reflecting on his placements, Judge Jon Cole stated that the:

"12-18 month puppy dog class was won by Paradigm's Red Talisman. This was a very competitive class with good quality and depth. Talisman was a nice size and length. He carried his top line well standing or moving. He moved out very well. The neck to
shoulders was clean and flowing. Headpiece was solid with a good expression. Talisman was a contender for Winners Dog later in the
day. I was pleased to award him Reserve Winners Dog."  

Rowan's three siblings also each placed or won at the 2008 RRCUS Nat'l Specialty.

Additionally, Rowan is also an accomplished lure-courser, earning his Senior Coursing title and is pointed towards his AKC Field
Championship.  Finally, Rowan is a working therapy dog (TDI), is temperament tested and titled, earning both his TT and CGC!  

From a litter of four champions, our 2007 litter, Rowan finished his AKC Championship under the age of 18 months. 

Rowan is sired by Mafu, is out of Ella and is a grandson of our foundation bitch, Roxie.
