Our Goal As Breeders
As a preservation breeder, our overarching goal at ZolaRoza is to raise healthy Black Russian Terriers that will become reliable, versatile, cherished members of the family. We were fortunate to produce an amazing litter through a first ever breeding for both sire and dam.
When we selected top winning GCHS CH That’s What’s In A Name “Varias” as the sire of our foundation dam’s CH Karma’s Reincarnated Rosa Shanina, CGC “Sipsey” first litter, we had no idea what we would get. All of those pups are pointed. Seven of the nine have attained their AKC championships or Grand Championships, one is a therapy dog, several were puppies of achievement, and some are excelling at performance and obedience.
Frankly, it was humbling when our foundation dam CH Kar- ma’s Reincarnated Roza Shanina, CGC “Sipsey” was selected by Mr. Harry Tast of Finland as 2019 BRTCA Best Brood Bitch for producing “homogeneity of type.” She has excellent hip scores, as do her dam and grand dam. Sipsey received a BRTCA 2019 Register of Merit award as a result of this first pairing. That is, she produced healthy puppies that also achieved their AKC champion- ships.
ZolaRoza won first and second place in bred by sweepstakes for bitches ages two to four years old. Layne and Freyja finished as one of the top four bred by entries. Her littermate, Jolene, received a 2019 BRTCA National Specialty Show Award of Merit. Also in 2019, the BRTCA launched the inaugural Top Twenty event. Out of the elite group of Top Twenty Black Russian Terriers recognized at this event, three are first degree relatives to ZolaRoza dogs: Sipsey’s sire and dam, Zilya and Zoe, and Varias—the sire of our first ZolaRoza litter.
This was a banner year for us as breeders who are new to the fancy! We hope that our ZolaRoza pups continue the legacy of good health and conformation success. After all, they have generations of top winning Black Russian Terriers in their pedigree. Ultimately it will be wonderful to see gorgeous Black Russian Terriers routinely winning Best in Show. Ideally, we’d like a few of those wins to come from ZolaRoza!
