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.

We want to thank our judges for awarding Jema with two Best of Breed from the classes. It was really a beautiful venue, we like to thank Warren Cook for taking a great candid photo of Jema ringside.

Woofstock 2010 in Vallejo CA

Wonderful time showing Chenille's newest champion prospect "Jema" at Woofstock in Vallejo California. Contra Costa Kennel Club dog show venue was one of my favorites, themed 60's with all the tie dyed clothing and decorations. Sixties music playing in the background, Chenille's Hearts on Fire "Jema" enter her first show ring. Jema just turned 6 months old, meeting required age to start showing AKC events. Venturing out in the Bred By Exhibitor class, as we hoped she would present herself wonderfully. Jema being a puppy handled exceptionally well, proud of herself and thinking everyone was there to see her. Yes, she does have that "it's all about me attitude" with the adorable shih tzu puppy wonderment. Glad that we did capture Jema's first dog show on video, "Woofstock Video" on our You Tube Chenille Channel. We love sharing our special moments with all her supporting friends. Joyous to start out Chenille Hearts on Fire "Jema" championship with a 4 point major win, showing under Judge Mrs Doris Cozart. Watch for Jema's new updates as we continue on the road to her AKC Championship. For the latest follow us on our Facebook Fan Page or give us a Tweet on Twitter.

Yosemite Kennel Club Show, Merced

Chenille's Shih Tzu Carmila's First Show at Yosemite Kennel Club, Merced California. We are so proud of our little girl, Twa-Nas Pe-Kae Carmila Frapachina she did pretty good for her first time out in the show ring. Chenille's Carmila was shown in 6 to 9 months bitch class. She was a bit shy on the table, Judge: Mr. David A. Ojalvo was very pleasant and complementing. Carmila had a slow start on the floor with wanting to put her head down. Working on the lead with wrist twitches helped to hold her head. Carmila was comfortable with the turn and walking back to the our Judge. We thank Yosemite Kennel Club and Judge Mr. David A. Ojalvo for awarding Carmila with her first place win, April 3,2008.

This show was to get Carmila out and work on socializing skills also ring time practice. This was a great deal of fun for us, we had our family and friends show up giving Carmila tons of support. Thank You!

Video of Carmila's First Show:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sne1wcB93tE

On Friday, April 4, Carmila was shown under Judge Mr. Enrique Jorge Filippini. Chenille's Carmila did much better on the lead. This time out she was confident and knew what to do. Her gait was smooth without stopping. Exposure to the ring at her young age is extremely important. We only showed Carmila for two days, at the four day dog show. We feel that four days showing is just to much for a young puppy. My handling skills need some fine tuneing, as I'm learning how to show Shih Tzu's. We have more pictures of the show on our Shih Tzu site at www.chenilleshihtzu.com
