On December 12, 2009, our family accomplished a lifetime dream - we participated in showing various dogs at the prestigious Eukanuba 2009 National Championship Dog Show at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California. We did very well, and the results are pictured below.
We deeply thank, with all of our hearts, certain people who helped our dream come true by providing us their friendship, mentoring, support and excellent show dogs of the highest caliber to participate at such a high level of competition and win.
We give our warmest and greatest "thank you" and sincere appreciation to: Shellie Mollnar of Mollnar's Chihuahuas, Pat Levan of Dunromin Chihuahuas, Kim Raattama Gingles of Cuchulain Kennels, Cheryl and Karin Daehn of Picasso Chihuahuas, Susan Vernon of Summit Whippets, Sandy Clark of Hi-C Chihuahuas, DeAnne B. Little of DuLittle Chihuahuas, our professional groomer, Kelley Valadez, and our dear friends Lynette (Lenny) Gremminger and Matt Hawley who came along with us and helped with everything.
Thank you a million times everyone, we're looking forward to another great show season in 2010! With all our love and Sincere Appreciation, Valerie, Paul, Brianna, Sarah and Colin Brown
