RIP Rx - Our Bossy Buddy

Baar's Medicine Man CDX RN CGC MXP2 MXPB MJP2 XFP CS, call name Rx, was owned and loved by Vivian and Richard Giudice and family. He had 16 double Qs in AKC agility and 624 PACH points before he started with Orthopedic issues. Born 7/29/08, and passed away on 4/22/2020.

Rx was a well-muscled male Rottweiler that had a puppy brain until he was 5 and thought he was a lap dog. He loved to back into humans for a lower back rub. He truly enjoyed attending training classes and LOVED swimming.

On of his great adventures was when he traveled to New Zealand and participated in the NZKC's obedience and agility shows.

Rx was working on his UD when he started limping due to a cruciate tear that was followed by shoulder tendinitis. An x-ray in the spring of 2020 showed probable osteosarcoma of the radius and ulna.

He was our bossy buddy and our family misses him.

He is in a study at the Comparative Genetics Lab at the University of Wisconsin Madison School of Veterinary Medicine.  Rx has been enrolled in the study on Cruciate Rupture in Rottweilers

Who We Are

The Rottweiler Club of New Mexico (RCNM) is a AKC licensed club, serving the owners and Rottweilers of New Mexico. We educate, train, coach, and practice ethical behaviors in breeding, responsible ownership, sportsmanship, and competition.

We believe in and encourage others to accept the standard of the breed as approved by The American Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence by which Rottweilers shall be judged.

We also believe in fun and fellowship with our owners and their dogs. We understand that Rottweilers enjoy life best when they are tasked to work. An achieving dog is a happy dog.

If you’ve been looking for a place where you and your Rottie are welcome and happy, the RCNM might be the just the spot.

Why Are We Here?

We want to make a difference. A positive difference in our lives, our member’s lives, and in the lives of all Rottweilers we touch.

Making a difference can be hard, but lots of time it’s easy. A smile and a kind word often make an instant difference in people and dogs. Be friendly, particularly to new people and dogs. Trust that they just want to be with you, share their life with you, and perhaps become a companion.

Making a difference means creating good teams. Teams need to understand what’s at stake, the tools at hand, the path ahead, and the will to succeed.

Making a difference means creating trust. When we get overwhelmed, or frustrated, or disappointed we can draw on that trust to ask for help or someone to listen or a shoulder to cry on.

Making a difference means we don’t judge. Judgement divides us from each other and from our dogs. Let’s leave the judging in the ring.

Thank you for serving your other members and the New Mexico community of Rottweilers. You are making the difference.
