Current Contenders

 

 Temple's Pete's Dragon:

             "Elliott" was born on 2/6/07, sired by CH. Temple's the Color of Money ("Gold") and out of CH Temple's Beauty and the Beast ("Belle").   He was out of the second and last litter Belle was able to produce.  Elliott is lovely, with a beautiful head and very nice movement.   He's a loving boy at home, VERY intelligent...  and very headstrong and independent, especially in the ring.     We are currently pursuing a new show home for Elliott with someone who has more experience & training in obedience, agility, etc.  If you think you might know of (or be) Elliott's perfect show home, let me know.

    PSA & Temple's The Quiet Man:

        "Duke" came to our house from my friend, Sandie Altman in New Ulm, Minnesota.   His grandmother was one of mine, Temple's Pocahontas, and was bred with Sandie's beautiful Josh to produce Duke's mama, who was then bred to Elton, another of Sandie's lovely boys, to result in Duke.   We met Duke at the Waukesha show in 2007, and couldn't stop looking at him...  sooooo....    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 pictured here taking BOV for his first major at the Terre Haute.   (Thank you, Judge Stephen Hurt!)   Our girl "Rosie" (CH Temple's African Queen) has just whelped his first four puppies, and we have great hopes for this boy and his offspring.

Webb's Nice Dreams:

        "Chong" is a grandson of our "Cheech" (of course... ;-)  Amber & Roger Webb now own Cheech and our April, and bred one of their daughters, June (Temple & Webb's Walk the Line) to their CH Temple N Webb's Time Enough For Love ("Lazarus").   Roger & Amber decided that they couldn't handle another boy, and let it be known that Chong was available to a good show home... and fortunately, they decided I qualified, because I just fell in love with this boy.   Solid, wonderful conformation, great movement, and a head that just gets prettier by the day.   Of course, he's bright & quirky, but what do you expect when you name a dog "Chong" whose grandfather was our "Cheech"?  ;-)   Stay tuned - I think he'll do us proud!!

"Temple's Mister Roberts"

"Born on 1/18/07, Hank is Kane and Reese's son.   He is shown here as Best of Opposite Sex to Best in Sweepstakes at the Waukesha Chihuahua Specialty, his first show at barely age six months old.  Hank and his brother Blue have the sweetest dispositions, and trotted along on leads on the very first try (forcing me to ask the question: "Okay, you can't be Chihuahuas; what are you REALLY?")   Hank has gone to be owned and loved by Jeannie Sherman of Indianapolis, where we hope he will do great things in the future!" 

"Tip & Temple's Brave Little Taylor ("Mickey")"

"Son of our beloved Willie (Temple's Steamboat Willie PSA), and of Holly's sweet Windsong's Jolene, Mickey is just love with a little fur wrapped around it.  We have great hopes that his sweet and happy winning personality will translate into big wins in the show ring, and lovely puppies to continue the legacy!!

 

"Shown here asleep after his strenuous debut at the CCA puppy match, Mickey seemed oblivious to his great first achievements!"

 

"Temple's The Caine Mutiny"

"Born on 1/18/07, Blue is Kane and Reese's son.   He is shown here relaxing in his native environment - the kitchen.  Blue and his brother Hank have the sweetest dispositions, and trotted along on leads on the very first try.  Blue has his father Kane's lovely face, and was shown by Jim Lehman in Chicago, finishing 4th in a huge puppy sweepstakes class.   Jill Hopper from San Diego, California, saw Blue in Chicago, and fell in love, so Blue is now owned and loved by her.  She plans to finish his championship and special him - we will cheer them on and pray that he does great things for her!"

 

 

"Temple's Juan Carlos Por Emma"

"Emma Cusson of Indianapolis wanted a smooth coat black and white male to show.   When Tick and Kane had 4 pups, and 3 were girls, but ALL had white with black & tan markings.  So I told her we'd have to see whether he was a smooth coat like his mama Tick, or a long coat like his sire, Kane.   As luck would have it, he was the only smooth coat in the litter, and all of his other parts came together pretty well, so he became Emma's boy.  By the way, Emma and her husband John are the founders and owners of "Silly Safaris" - check out this great group at www.sillysafaris.com    We hope little Carlos will make Emma and John VERY proud!!"

Temple's He Got Game ("Denzel")

Trisha Nippe showing her boy, "Temple's He Got Game", better known as Denzel, to their first points together - a Best of Winners at Terre Haute for two.   I have a feeling that these two are going to be a great team!!  

 

TIP'S BOOM BABY ("Reggie")

OK, OK, so he should be in a category called "Future Contenders"!! Reggie is a Gold son, bred by Holly Sciscoe - her Mazzy is his mother, and she is a wonderful girl. We have great hopes for this boy!

 

I got to show Reggie at the National Chihuahua Club of America Specialty, and was proud that he placed 4th in Open Class.
