Rodrigo
American, Mexican, Guatemalan, International (FCI and IABCA), UKC
Champion Shefaro Amadeo's Rodrigo
Shefaro Borzoi
This is how it all began. Elia had a litter of nine puppies. Rodrigo is pictured with siblings, Casanova, Tuxedo, Panda, Tatiana, Zoie, Smirnoff, Venado and Mikhail.
It's amazing how they change and grow in just a little over two weeks.
Rodrigo
Shefaro Elia's Guillermo (insert) born July 27, 2000, is Rodrigo's older brother. A repeat breeding of Guillermo's litter produced Rodrigo. If they were from the same litter, they could have been a brace.

The potential is here for a brace. Pictured are Shefaro Elia's Guillermo and Shefaro Amadeo's Rodrigo (Elia's son). Guillermo is two years of age, while Rodrigo is six months. At this time they could be father and son. In time, they "should" look like the brothers that they are. It's a matter of time before puppy boy Rodrigo grows up and out! Unfortunately, Guillermo died in Mexico of a snake bite while under the care of his "professional" dog show handler.
Rodrigo's a winner!!!! In five shows, he has three points, as of 08/17/02. He has complete dentition and black eye haws. This boy is going to be very special when he finishes out. Long tail, lovely coat, and delicious disposition make Rodrigo a very special boy to watch.

Rodrigo went into the shows with three minor points he won as a puppy shown by friend, Amanda Gibney, and came out with back to back to back majors to finish his Championship breeder, owner handled! What a thrill.

Father, Darnilo and son, Rodrigo October 11, 2003
The boys and I enjoyed a photo shoot in Shefaro Park. Father and son American Champions Darnilo (R) and Rodrigo (L) are Shefaro's stud force. They are not at public stud. Darnilo, will pursue bedience titles with a professional trainer. While Shefaro Borzoi
have won CD's with me showing, I will not do Darnilo justice. He loves the work and deserves to go High in Trial. Rodrigo is a great show dog who finished his Championship with back to back to back (4-5-5 point) majors. Breeder owner handled, Rodrigo won best of breed over champions from bred by and went on to a Hound Group Third at the prestigious Reliant Park Cluster, Houston, Texas. Rodrigo and I will pursue international titles starting November. I am extremely proud of these wonderful boys. They are truly clown hounds and a joy to live with.
Rodrigo's in Mexico with friend and professional handler, Guillermo Cavazos. They are showing together in Guatemala and Mexico through the end of 2003.
Rodrigo looks wonderful. Pictured on the grooming table waiting for Guillermo to take him into the ring Sept. 12, 2004. Won BOB and Group 2.
Showing with Guillermo
Winning sighthound group second.
Rodrigo wins multiple Hound Groups in Mexico during his stay in 2004. He came home Christmas 2005 with multiple championships.
Home after showing south of the border, Rodrigo enjoys his life at Shefaro.
