Stryker's BEST IN SHOW Stryker  going  BEST IN SHOW!  4-14-12 (UKC)

Stryker is a wheaton show male from the Foosa X Cooper litter. He lives with his mom Ann here in MI and is co-owned with Angie. He also lives with 1/2 sister Ruby and rescue, Tanner, a husky mix. Stryker is a confident, self assured pup always willing to try new things and will try showing in everything: Agility, Lure Coursing, Conformation, and Rally. He has a beautiful dark black mask and expressive eyes.

Stryker earned his name as his mom, Ann, was going to wait another year before getting her second Ridgeback, but after seeing him it was love at first sight and the plans were changed!

Stryker's owner, Ann T., is a memebr of RRCUS (Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the US) and The Wolverine Dog Training Club.

Here is a GREAT video of Stryker Lure Coursing - as you watch the end you can see he is a freight train!
