Rocky is my pick male from CJ's second litter. He is co-bred with Rhonda McNutt of
Country Time Boxers. Rocky is co-owned by myself, Cindy Thomas, with Donna Rode who also owns Rocky's great uncle Ch. CynTech's Sharp Dressed Man (Kosmo) and he resides with the Rode family here in Red
Deer, Alberta! Donna is hoping to do pet therapy with Rocky in the future but in the meantime watch for him in the conformation ring!
