Open BOS

Best Opposite Of Breed 2022 NJWRC Nationals Stillwater, MN

Broken Sr. Buck Kathy's Encino TX Ear# X2

Mark this National BOSB off my bucket list! There were SO MANY Brokens entered at Nationals. I had no hopes as Encino only wore half a coat at Stillwater, but he has PRESENCE…. A look, an attitude, a confidence, a great natural pose that usually catches the eye of most judges. He won his Sr Class! OK…. Then he won BOSG! Then my heart started racing when the judges pulled Encino out many times for BOB/BOSB. Thank you, Michael Wolfe, for letting me yank on your sleeve when that BOSB rosette was placed. Thank you to the judges, Melissa Magee and Shane Ringdahl for recognizing Encino.

At the 2019 Louisiana Naed Best OPEN Junior. From that tables, acquiring 30 legs to date and BOG. I call him “Boogie Boy” and do spoil him rotten. Encino lives yearround in our a/c washroom next to the kitchen in a stacker cage, complete with TV, recliner, and a box of Stogie cigars. He likes to be groomed, but when Encino decides “enough is enough” …. he will grab the grooming tool and throw it on the floor. Wednesday nights, he stretches out on my lap on a puppy pad and watches the Chicago TV series. When he wants back to his cage, he grabs and yanks on my shirt or We have good commuon the grooming table at his charm. (Amber Henderson - CA) mother who produced buck and another out of Bauer) buck. The resultto produce Encino. He exclaimed, “Here I AM!” keep an eye on this little tionals Encino was selectpoint, he hit the show for BIS, BISR, BOB, BOS,

It has been a challenge to get him to produce brokens with enough showable color. Michaeline Marie (CA) encouraged me to “think outside the box.” Knowing he has the coat, type, head/ear…. I breed him to BUDs (Big Ugly Does) that carry a high count of pattern modifiers, regardless of color. I breed Broken x Broken to get a culmination of the pattern modifiers carried by both parents. Getting at least ONE showable Broken is my goal. If the son/daughter pass the first evaluations, then I shave off the junior coat and wait and wait for 8-9 months to see if the offspring will carry Encino’s traits. Luckily, I have a pet market for those culled from the program. Success is fleeting, but Encino has produced an outstanding broken black otter son, Kathy’s Zephyr TX owned by Autumn Marie Williams (TX), that I think is an improvement over his sire. It takes about eight-ten months for this line to complete maturity. I am currently growing out a son, daughter, and several grandchildren out of Encino…… one I hope to contribute to the Raffle Trio at Reno.
