1986 Highest Living ROM (Register of Merit) Dam 
1976 U.S. Grand Victrix, AKC Champion

All our precious days with Rosemary are gone. We will recall happy memories of her the rest of out lives. She was entrusted to out love and care and died in or arms. We miss her terribly. She tried gallantly to live until her 14th birthday, and on that day, her son, BIS CH (US) Covy-Tucker Hill's Manhattan, won Best In Show at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club to the thunderous applause, joy and tears of his thousands of supporters. In person as well as on National Television. That birthday was Dog Show history and a place of honor for German Shepherd Dogs never to be forgotten. For us and for Rosemary, it was joyous synchronicity and a triumphant farewell. Humble and proud of Rosemary's distinction as Highest Living Register of Merit Dam of all time, we strive in the years to come to sustain her quality of perfection in our breeding program at Covy-Tucker Hill.
