Canadian Champion and USA AKC Champion: AM/CAN. CH. PICASSO'S CLEOPATRA CLASSICA
"Sassy"
Sassy is loved by, bred by and belongs to Karin and Cheryl Daehn of Picasso Chihuahuas, in Canada. Sassy finished her Canadian championship at around 8-1/2 months old, expertly presented and handled by her breeder/owner, Karin Daehn. Sassy then came to show in the United States with us to become a dual Canadian/USA AKC Champion which was accomplished in March 2010. Sassy is everything a Chihuahua is meant to be, she is sound in structure, extremely healthy, has fluid and flashy movement, has that feisty "terrier like" temperament Chihuahuas are meant to have, she is gorgeous to look at and is a beautiful reflection of Picasso's exceptional breeding program. Sassy is absolutely a Picasso Chihuahua's "true work of art"!!!
