The 'Free-Stack' They Still Talk About
At the 1996 Westminster Kennel Club show, Zulu came out of retirement to win Best of Breed in a tough Rhodesian Ridgeback class that included most of the ranking dogs in the country at the time. In the evening Hound Group, Zulu 'made the cut'. In considering a strong final group, the judge Dr. Indeglia asked each handler to bring his or her dog into the middle of the ring and 'free-stack'. As millions watched on national television, handler Mike Szabo brought Zulu into the most perfect free stack one could ask for. The sight raised 'goose-bumps' on the arms of hundreds of Ridgeback fanciers from coast to coast.
