Ch. Rockback’s Current Affair, “Irene”, was bred and is owned by CathyAnn Litwin and Mark Litwin.  She is “Pearl’s” first champion. 

December 2001, was “Irene’s” first time in the ring at the Cleveland Crown Classic Kennel Club Shows. English Cocker Spaniels supported the entries every day.  “Irene” went Reserve Winners Bitch under Sporting Judge Richard Beauchamp.  What a way to start her show career!!!!!

March 22, 2002, New Brunswick Kennel Club, New Jersey, was “Irene’s” second time in the show ring.  She won Best Puppy and was awarded a Puppy Sporting Group II under judge Sam Houston McDonald.  We are so proud of this beautiful girl!!

April 2002, we decided to bring “Irene” to the National English Cocker Spaniel Club of America show in Charlotte, North Carolina.   “Irene” placed In a very strong 9-12 Sweepstakes Class under breeder judge Jan Fleming.  “Irene” is a well balanced merry little cocker.

Labor Day Weekend, 2002, at the Macon Kennel Club Show, Macon, Georgia, “Irene” strutted herself again and this time went Winners Bitch from the 12-18 month class for a  4 point major under Sporting Judge Dr. Robert Smith.

April 2003, “Irene” went to the Delaware County Kennel Club show and was awarded Winners Bitch and Best of Winners under Sporting Judge Sam Houston McDonald.  This win gave “Irene” her second 4 point major!  

July 6, 2003, “Irene” became a champion in great style at the National Capital Kennel Club.  She was awarded Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for her final points under breeder judge Bonnie Threlfall.

Several times “Irene” competed in the Best of Breed ring.  Each time taking the coveted Best of Breed award.  The final time in the Best of Breed competition was early Spring 2004, at the Bryn Mawr Kennel Club Show.  “Irene” again was awarded Best of Breed under Sporting Judge Sam Houston McDonald.

January 31, 2007, was a glorious day for Rockback.   “Irene” delivered six beautiful puppies! The sire of the puppies is Ch. Brasswinds Ego Trip, ECM. 

American Spaniel Club, January 2009, “Irene” ran back into the show ring.  This time she is a Veteran!  Staying true to her wonderful spirit...”Irene” is awarded Best Veteran In Sweepstakes!  We look forward to the second part of her show career, competing in the Veteran Classes.

Irene only produced one litter of six puppies.  Three of those puppies are now Champions of Record and the fourth is soon to be a Champion as well.  Irene is truly a breeders dream come true.  Following in her Mother's paw prints, Irene produced beautiful type, temperament and balance.  Now officially retired from the show ring, Irene spends her days with her pal "Polo", Ch. Rockback's Ready To Wear.
