Champions We Were Blessed With

 

Dogs that we have brought to our home and finished:

 

CH PSA & Temple's The Quiet Man ("Duke")

"Duke" came to our house from my friend, Sandie Altmann in New Ulm, Minnesota.   His grandmother was one of mine, Temple's Pocahontas.  She was bred with Sandie's beautiful Josh (CH Dea's Tater Tot) to produce Duke's mama, who was then bred to Elton (CH Shobell El Dorado) to result in Duke.   We met Duke at the Waukesha show in 2007, and couldn't stop looking at him...  sooooo.... Sandie was kind enough to send him home with us.   He is a cuddler and a lap baby, with a lovely head, incredible top line, and one of the most level, even-keeled dispositions we have seen in Chihuahuas.   Duke is a "professional" in the ring; he knows what he's there for, and does his job to his utmost.   He can even make me look decent as a handler, and I was proud to finish Duke on our own.   He has sired some lovely pups, and we have great hopes for his future as a sire.

CH. DAVLYN MAJOR EVENT

("Vinny")

Vinny was my first male Chihuahua, and my first champion. Thank Heaven, Jim Lehman helped me finish the spoiled little brat. Vinny was my bed-baby and desk-top companion.

 

CH. WINDSONG TEMPLE'S BLACK PEARL ("Black Pearl")

Pearl finished her championship before she was a year old, and so far, has 6 finished champion offsring. One of the sweetest girls in the world - Annette Waldkoetter blessed me with Pearl!!

 

CH. WINDSONG'S COPPER MOUNTAIN ("Copper")

Copper was fun to show - she was the first dog that I showed and finished all by myself. Actually, she is such a little bundle of dynamite that she finished herself. Her hobby is fetching ANYTHING, and she will fetch until your arm drops off from throwing. Many thanks to Annette Waldkoetter for letting me own her! Unfortunately, Copper never had puppies - she is now retired in Florida, and as fetching as ever!

CH. MAESTRO'S ANASTASIA
("Anya")

John Cipollina ("The Maestro!") entrusted Anya to me when I was first starting out. Her movement is absolutely lovely! She gave birth to two litters, including my favorites Flashy, Cheech, Moose, Ariel and Ursula, before being retired to a pet home, where she is dearly loved.

CH. BELLEZA'S TEMPLE AMANTE ("Amante")

Amante means "lover" in Spanish, and he certainly was!! Father to Ch. Temple's Jumpin' Jack Flash, to Temple's Oliver N' Company, and to Temple's The Moose Is Loose, obediance wonderdog extraordinaire!!

CH. BLISS N TEMPLE'S HOOSIER BIG TEN ("Hoosier")

Hoosier came from Liz Bliss to me at age 4 months. She was a little princess/ "Valley Girl". She is shown here at the Spring CCA National Specialty, being handled by Jim Lehman, about to go Best of Winners for the second day in a row! Hoosier finally had one litter in April, 2005. She had four pups, but she almost bled to death after the c-section. She was spayed and placed in a GREAT pet home... I still miss her.
