AM/CAN CH JAZZIE'S UPTOWN GIRL     "TEKA"

amcanchjazziesuptowngirl.jpg

Teka is my number 1 girl and the light of my life.  She has lovely, fluid movement and great big eyes.  She is a lot of dog in a compact package.  She has good substance, great reach and drive, and was very easy to show.  By the time she finished in both the US and Canada, she would just show herself as if I wasn't even there, finishing in both countries in 1 season.  She is a gold and white, but with a lot of dark color, and her show coat had a lot of red.  She had an easy care coat...quite smooth.  Her days are now spent being on my lap and not sharing me willingly with the others.


AM/CAN CH JAZZIE'S SAPPHIRE, PEARL & ONYX    "ANNA"

Anna is a clear black and white.  She finished quickly in both the United States and Canada.  Her wins included a Best Puppy-in-Show in Canada at 10 months of age, her 2nd weekend out.  She also had a group 2 and a group 3 in all-breed competition in the US.  I especially enjoyed this as I was the only owner/handler in the line-up.  She is a very balanced mover with "big" movement, long and free, and a level, smooth topline.
 
She is outgoing, affectionate, and loves to play with her toys.  It is her goal to eventually bump Teka as number 1!

AM/CAN CH LUV'S SANYEN AT SAPPHIRE    "KEILA"

Keila is a gold and white, a very sweet, feminine girl, with a gentle nature.  She has huge dark eyes, great pigment, and a lovely bite.  She finished in both the US and Canada, and after she finished, I kept her in the ring to hold a major, and had a young girl show her.  She was not suppose to win, but Keila had other ideas, and self-showed.  She has a lot of charm in her demeaner, and melts hearts.  The judge was quite taken-in by her, and she worried us by going reserve, almost taking the major that day as well.  She has a habit of standing in place and dancing her feet while talking to me when she wants something.  It usually works too!
 
Keila no longer lives with me, but is the center of her new family's love and attention.

 
 
CH SAPPHIRES OVER COCO CHANEL    "COCO"

Coco has the most beautiful coloring.  She is registered as a red & white, but is quite brindle.  The shades blend thru her coat in the most amazing way.  Her coat is very straight and silky, and tho she had been finished for months, she still ran around the house in full coat until her first litter came, as she didn't tangle at all.  I only brushed her out about once a week and just didn't want to cut that beautiful coat off until I had to.  She has large dark eyes, excellent pigment, a beautiful large round head and a picture-perfect bite.  She is very elegant, and is a lovely mover, with long free movement in both the front and rear and an excellent forechest.  She is quite a lady in every way, and finished easily in a few shows, finishing in the Bred-by class with 2 group placements in Bred-by competition.  She is a daughter of Teka.   

CH. SAPPHIRE'S ALLURE ME    "ALLIE"

Allie is Coco's sister (littermate), and is a spitfire with a lot of attitude.  She is a compact girl with big movement and a pretty face.  She has amazing drive behind!  She is a silver and white with black markings, which is quite nice to keep clean.  She spends her days making sure that everyone else in the house is doing what she thinks they should.  In  April of 2010 she took a group 1 in Bred-by-Exhibitor competition.  She finished her championship in May 2011 as we struggled to find majors that would hold.  She is now cut-down and continuing her job as house manager.

Best-in-Show Bred-by-Exhibitor  "Scarlett"

CH SAPPHIRE'S KISSED BY A COWBOY  "SCARLETT"
 
Scarlett has so much enthusiam, that showing her was a kick, as she is everyone's best friend, but she has trouble containing herself; the only thing holding her cells of enthusiasm together is her skin.  She is a super mover, a lot of dog in a small package, having long reach and drive, with a very level smooth topline.  She has a lovely straight, tangle free coat.  She is an extremely affectionate girl.  She earned her championship from the Bred-By class and is now challanging Allie for the house manager position.  Like her mom, Coco, she ran around in coat for over a month after finishing her championship, and tho I only ran a brush thru her long, thick coat about once a week she just didn't tangle.
