Kanzu was one of seven Ridgebacks to be awarded the Versatility Certificate (VC) in 2011 by the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the US (RRCUS). The purpose of this program is to encourage participation and acknowledge the accomplishments of RRs as a versatile breed. To achieve this award the dog must have a minimum number of titles or points from four of five groups including; Conformation, Obedience, Tracking, Lure Coursing/Racing,and Agility. Kanzu was honored with an announcement in the Top Performers Issue of The Ridgeback Magazine and with a beautiful engraved ribbon and certificate given at the Awards Banquet at the 80th RRCUS National Specialty Awards Banquet in South Dakota in September. His Breeders and co-owners Mike and Lisa Patterson were there to accept his ribbon and VC certificate. In addition, at the same banquet Kanzu was awarded a ribbon for his RRCUS #5 national ranking in agility in 2010. It was a huge honor for Kanzu to receive these awards at the RRCUS National Speciaty Show and very exciting to add the VC title to his official name.
