NEWS FLASH: "JUSTIN" FINISHES HIS AKC CHAMPIONSHIP - 5/28/10
NEW CHAMPION!!! Fantasy's Just April's Fool, aka 'Justin', a Ch. Rico (see below) x Cindi son, was shown sparingly in preparation for his championship title campaign by me. We feel Justin has the correct personality as described in the AKC Official breed standard, is sound, compact and has lovely breed type. Apparently, he was highly competitive, winning over our American Shih Tzu National show's winners dog for a single point and first major at two successive all-breed shows. He was beautifully presented by his friend and professional handler Diane Ehricht. Thank you very much Diane!

NEW Champion Fantasy's Amore Roberto aka 'Robbie'
(Ch. Rico x Lynette)
As of the end of 2010, Robbie amassed a total of 14 championship points to include a 5 point specialty major win, 3 point major. I would like to especially thank Judge Kent Delaney for appreciating Robbie from the beginning breeder/ownerhandled and awarding him a 5 point specialty major win. He was shown to 11 points by me (below), one point by Debra Donahue and for 2 points by owner David Ritchkoff, Madrigal Shih Tzu. Needing only one point to complete his championship, Robbie finished his title on January 14, 2011, ownerhandled by David at the Greater Lowell Kennel Club show, Fitchburg, MA. Many thanks to all of Robbie's judges. Congratulations and best wishes to his owner David for many more fun events at the shows with Robbie, as well as having lovely puppies sired by him.
