SAPPHIRE'S BIG SKY DIAMONDS "YOGO"

The famous gems of Montana, the Big Sky Country, are the Yogo sapphires.  They are extremely beautiful and are sapphires of excellent quality.  My Yogo is named after these gorgeous stones.  He is a handsome boy, very sweet, cuddly like a teddy bear to hold.  He has a beautiful face, lovely wide bite, and great movement, a dog of excellent quality.  I laugh at him because as a puppy I called him the boy with the big "booty".  He has a lovely wide rear-end and a lot of movement behind, smooth, level and flowing.  His coat is amazing in quality...thick, tangle-free and with lovely texture.  He is a dream-come-true for me and I am so delighted to have him in my house.  His first time in the ring at 7 mos he took a 3 point major,  went BOB the next day, and has won BOB severa more times.  He makes his own rules, and there is no sleeping in a pen for him; he has the run of the dog room...spoiled noooo, well maybe a little, but he's worth it!

Lacey is Yogo's littermate sister.  She is a stick of dynamite in a small package.  She is a brindle color with straight hair of silk, which is a breeze to care for.  She has no fear of anything, the whole world is her best friend, and I have to be ready because she will run at me and leap, expecting me to catch her, at which point I am smothered with enthusiastic kisses.  Her very 1st time in the ring at 6 mos I had not even leash trained her but put her in to build points for a major.  It was a job to not let the judges see her movement.  She won Best Shih Tzu Puppy and a group 1 for Best Puppy that same day.  Even though I was trying to keep her from winning, she took reserves to a major that same weekend.  She is now showing to win, and no one can take their eyes off her movement and attitude in the ring.  She commands to be noticed and watched and is beating fully coated females.
 

SAPPHIRE'S BRANDING IRON HOT  "BRANDY"

Brandy is a full sister to her champion sister Scarlett, but a different litter.  She just started in the show ring at 15 months of age.  While Scarlett looks more like her mom, Coco, Brandy is more like her daddy, Cowboy.  She has no desire to grow-up, but prefers to spend her time playing and wrestling with the younger puppies.  She is also a cuddle bug.  She has lovely movement, a gorgeous wide bite and a big, round head, which is so correct for a shih tzu.  She jumps like a deer and should probably be an agility dog.  I wish she would "tone it down" a bit, because sometimes she scares me the way she jumps off things in the house...she knows no fear!
