| Roberta Rothenbach - Rothby Yorkshire Terriers I posted this in General Yorkie Discussion. But, is more be posted here appropriately. Roberta Rothenbach passed away this morning. The yorkie world has lost an Icon. Roberta was one of the most elegant, helpful ladies I have ever met. Her breeding expertise gave the yorkie world such wonderful dogs as Renegade, Rep and so many others.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I just saw her at a show this past summer. She had beautiful dogs and I have watched her show for many, many years. How sad.

| Oh I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I was just researching Sasha's pedigree again an looking up her liniage to see which lines she most resembles (according to pictures) and there were 8 Rothbys (7 champions) on her mothers side. Reneegade is also in there. His pictures are beautiful on a Obijwa Yorkies website of older Famous Yorkies. Mrs. Rothenbach also has a grooming video on Yorkies and has contributed to siminars on the breed. I'm sure that all of her accomplishments and mentor memories will be cherished for a very long time by many in our Yorkshire Community. Thank you Mrs. Rothnbach for your love of the Yorkshire Terrier. |

| This years NYC Specialty will be dedicated to the memory of Roberta Rothenbach. I was thrilled to know that they will have a tribute to her in this way. It was voted in unanimously.

| I would like to add my condolences to this 2009 thread. I was on a break from YT when Roberta died and would like to add to it. She was one in a million and I will be forever grateful to her when she let me purchase Crystal. She already had her championship and was a Renegade pup (how lucky I was), she wasn't working out for her breeding program and said if I'd be patient until she spent a bit more time with her pups, she would be mine. We stayed in contact the eleven years years I had her, she came to me at three.
