Connie fell in love with Rose from the first picture. Kurt agreed to adding Rose to the family on the condition that Connie handle her in the show ring(Connie does not like showing in conformation). However she agreed and all of Rose's points were earned with the Connie/Rose team. Rose had an eventful conformation career. She took a Group 1 in the puppy competition in Chelsea MI and went on to win Best in Show Puppy, in 2007. Rose finished her championship in 2008 under, ex-bloodhound handler and Judge Donnelle Richards, in Muncie IN, winning two majors in that weekend, for a total of three majors.
Rose was a clown as a puppy, but has since then become a very serious scent hound. However, she does still love to play with Phire.
Rose has the most skin of any of our Bloodhounds. She also has the largest and darkest saddle. Her tan is almost mahogany in color.
