As pick female from my first litter, gosh what a whirlwind adventure her conformation days have been.  As a puppy her list of accomplishments go on and on, having completed her Canadian championship at 9.5 months old, winning 13 best puppy in groups and 3 all breed best puppy in shows.  Along the way she also went VV1 at the 2005 Calgary Sieger show and went onto win Most Promising Female Puppy in Show under ADRK judge Gerhard Apel.  Cajen also won Best in Sweeps at the 2005 RCC National Specialty at the Caledon Kennel Club show in Ontario.  

In 2006, Cajen continued doing wonderfully in the show ring, winning multiple breed wins, multiple group wins and placements, an Award of Merit at the 2006 Prairie Regional Specialty & winning Best Brace in specialty with her sister Caper, and going V1 at the 2006 Calgary Sieger Show and winning Youth Siegerin under ADRK judge Walter Werner.  She also picked up her first Best of Opposite in specialty show at the Ontario Regional specialty show.  She and Caper also won an all breed Best Brace in show working together!!  2006 was a great year for Cajen and she finished the #2 Rottweiler in Canada in All Breed wins and the #1 Rottweiler in Canada in Breed wins. Cajen and her handler Penny Lewis accomplished such wonderful things together!!

2007 was equally amazing for Cajen she was shown in Canada for only 5 months and ended up still as the #4 Rottweiler in Canada for All breed wins, #5 for Breed wins.  She won her first Best in Show, as well as two additional Best of Opposite in Specialty wins ~~the first at the RCC National Specialty in Chilliwack BC and the second at the Prairie Regional specialty in Saskatoon, SK.  She went down to the United States after May 2007 and started her quest for her Am Championship on June 9, 2007.  She became a new Am Champion on June 19 2007 after picking up 7 single points and 2 five point majors under the handling of US handler Randy Benns.  Cajen remained in the US being specialed for the remainder of 2007 and we were thrilled to be invited to the Eukanuba Invitational in Long Beach California where she won Best of Opposite as well.  As a result of that win Cajen was invited to the 2008 Crufts show which we didn't attend, but the thrill of the invitation was amazing! We also received an invitation for a Top 10 Award thru the American Rottweiler Club ~~ we later found out that Cajen was the #10 Rottweiler Bitch in the US after a mere 6 months in the US.  She did outstanding!!

In 2008 Cajen remained in the United states for an additional 6 months where she won multiple BOS, multiple BOB and multiple group placements and group wins.  She was a travelling girl having been from Alaska to California and through to Montana with Randy.  After the Montana circuit in June 2008 we were thrilled to finally have Cajen at home.  We did a couple of Canadian shows with her and were absolutely elated that she won the breed at the majority of shows where she was shown, picked up multiple group wins and placements, won her second Best in Show, finished her Canine Good Neighbor Test which completed the last requirement for her Canadian Grand Champion title, and picked up her 4th BOSS win at the 2008 Prairie Regional specialty in Winnipeg with her best friend and handler Penny Lewis.  Cajen then retired in September 2008 and was shortly thereafter bred and became a new mom on December 1, 2008.  What an incredibly doting mom, I certainly couldn't have asked for better. 

Cajen may make the occasional show appearance in 2009 depending upon how she recovers fully from her litter, if only to show off her kids, however if she never returns to the show ring she definitely doesn't have anything to prove to us that she is incredibly special. We are definitely hoping for her to become a mom again in the future.   She is without a doubt the most loving, wonderful rottweiler who makes friends at every dog show she has attended.  She was dubbed my 'attack licker' at an early age as her tongue would go just as fast as her nubby tail.  She thinks nothing of endearing herself to people at dog shows so that she can lick them faster than they can pull away.  She occasionally gets away with a sneaky lick on a judge in the ring.  Cajen's favorite dog show ringside 'trick' is what we have dubbed her ZEN moment where she flips on her back and lays there awaiting her turn patiently in the ring.  Carrying a dust cloth is a must at ringside.
