Isolde Kotch
Isolde began handling Ridgebacks at the age of 7. Her love of the sport only grew since that day my friend Heike let her take Duchess in to the ring. At the second AKC show we attended she drew a little picture and showed it to me. She said "It's a picture of Liz, and I want to be just like her when I grow up."
The woman she drew was Liz Mansfield, and Isolde has shown that she's very serious about handling.
Juniors group (due to the AKC Juniors age requirement) we have been fortunate enough to have friends like Tammy Dennis who allowed Isolde to help her in the Chesapeak Bay Retriever AKC ring.
Isolde walked out with not only a major, but with a BOB ribbon as well. She beat a professional handler for the win. We have high hopes for Isolde.
