Marabil Australian Shepherds

Riot - Conformation.... Riot is a wonderful, moderate dog that possess the breed standard in both type and movement.  ASCA and AKC judges alike have expressed appreciation for his gorgeous head, expression, and effortless, ground covering movement. In ASCA, Riot finished his championship with four majors, including three 5 point majors over entries exceeding 30 dogs.  In fact, he finished his championship under Senior Breeder Judge, Ginger Abbott over one such entry.  Along the way, he also picked up a Best of Breed under Senior Breeder Judge, Ann Atkinson, a Best Opposite and two Best of Winners.   He has been shown only a few times as a Special in ASCA and is a multiple Premier Champion.

Riot finished his AKC Championship with limited showing, picking up multiple Best of Breed wins (over group winning dogs and nationally ranked Top 10 Specials), as well as a HERDING GROUP 3 over multiple Best in Show winning dogs. After being owner handled to his ASCA Championship, Riot is now handled exclusively in both ASCA and AKC by Gina Stubblefield of Hotwire Australian Shepherds. My thanks to Gina for doing such an amazing job with Riot and always keeping it fun!
