Our unofficial photo laughing and joking as were getting ready for Ch Chenille Hearts On Fire " Jema" official photo by photographer Warren Cook. Our Super Sunday started out with a Best of Breed win showing under Judge Mr. Fredrick R. Stephens. Little things mean so much, when Jema got a special hug from him. Our little flirty girl won his heart and went on to show in the toy group. Sliding in, just in time for toys, Jema was having fun showing her Shih Tzu attitude and working the audience.

 Splendid day for Ch Chenille Hearts On Fire winning her first group placement, Thanks so much to Judge Mr. Fredrick R. Stephens and Judge Mrs. Anne Katona for making this day our Super Sunday!
