Bonnie finished her AKC Championship from the Bred By Exhibitor Class. After her retirement from the ring, she lived her life as the "in charge" Ridgeback at our house. She produced two litters sired by CH Rivercity's Nobody Beats Bart JC and one litter (a singleton puppy) from frozen semen sired by CH Ruya Dustdevil Mercedes' Sun JC SC ASFA FCH.

She was awarded a Register of Merit (ROM) from the national breed club when five of her puppies sired by Bart finished their AKC Championships:

• CH Ruya Azure Built Like a Rock "Denali"
• Int'l/Am CH Ruya's Legend of the Congo King "Congo"
• CH Ruya's Legend of the Big Rig "Mac Davis"
• CH Ruya Legend's Sedona Solara "Vicki"
