Dad, we got Excellent! |
On March 22, 2003, handled by
"yours truly", Tropicana Piel Canela, aka, Lola, became the first
Havanese Champion in Panama! We do not have that many shows here at
home, so sometimes it takes a bit longer to obtain the championship.
Hopefully she'll be bred for the first time on her next heat, so she'll
arrive at maternity with the "CH" before her name. We are really proud
of our "Fula". Charlie is also well under way to getting his
championship. A couple more point and he'll be a champ as well. Let's
just hope we more shows this year, so he can ge there soon!

This gorgeous
sketch of Charlie is a very special present that my friend and
photography mentor, Isabel Cutler, sent me. Thanks so much, Isabel!
It is a beautiful work, and it means a lot to us.


Candela de los Gábatos
wins her Championship title!

 
CANDELA   
In the worst possible
conditions -a wind strong enough to blow a Saint Bernard, and small
planes flying a bit too close (!!!), Candela showed herself like if she
were in the Madison Square Garden. Happy to go with Mario, the "Purris"
wouldn't stop to look at him and to wave her tail while she strolled to
win the hearts of everybody. Also, she obtained her Breeding
Permit, with great comments from the judge. It didn't come as a
surprise to us: as she obtained EXCELLENT under all the judges that we
showed her. Way to go, Candy!
