My Pedigree

As the only female puppy in a litter of 5 puppies in our repeat breeding, baby Chili was a feisty puppy who would routinely beat up her male littermates and thus very much caught my eye as a baby.   Unfortunately for Chili she has had some VERY large paw prints to fill in terms of following the success of her big sisters Cajen and Caper.  She has turned into a lovely young adult dog with medium head, lovely topline, good angles and outstanding movement.
 

Her show career has been quite exciting, having finished her Canadian championship on her 9 month old birthday, winning multiple best puppy in group wins along the way.  She has also been the United states and did the Copper circuit in June 2008 winning her class multiple times and taking one reserve winners bitch owner / breeder handled.  Given that she was only a senior puppy at the time she greatly exceeded my expectations.  She also did her CERF testing while in Montana and passed!! After returning home Chili attended the large outdoor Evelyn Kenny dog show in July 2008 where she won Best Puppy in Group on the first day in the ring as well as Best of Opposite, beating several high ranked bitches including her big sister Cajen!!!  On the Saturday she impressed me enormously by easily passing her Canine Good Neighbor test and earning some lovely compliments by the examiners about her relative youth.

Chili will be shown very sporadically in the future as she is a much slower maturing bitch than either of her big sisters.  She has the same height and effortless movement as her sister Cajen, just not the body as she is slower in maturing.  Overall she is a joy to live with and is the first one getting into trouble and the first one initiating play.  She loves living on the farm and can run like the wind.  She adored helping (much to Cajen's displeasure) with Cajen's litter of puppies in December 2008 and could be caught at any given moment sneaking in to lick puppies.  Pending the successful completion of her health clearances in the future, she should prove to be an excellent mom!!

Chili had a great weekend at the Edmonton Kennel Club show picking up 2 best of breeds and one best of opposite wins, as well as her first group placement, winning a Group 3 in quite a strong working group under Judge Rosemary Shoreman.  Our huge thanks to all the hard work by Penny Lewis as Chili can be a handful when she choses to be :0)!!

 In June 2010 Chili, Dealer & I travelled up to the Alaska Kennel Club show in Anchorage where Chili was beautifully presented by handler Amanda Ashmore to Winner's Bitch/Best of Winners for a 3 point major on June 26, 2010 and a 2 point win after the major broke the next day for her first 5 US points.  Chili showed her heart out despite the pouring rain both days!


In August Chili and handler Penny Lewis made the big trip down to the US where she picked up 2 more points going Winner's Bitch/Best of Winners each show on the August 14, & 15th, 2010 show weekend in Minnesota at the Kennel Club of Freeborn County shows.  Chili also picked up 3 more points the following weekend of August 20-22, 2010 in Wisconsin at the Wisconsin Rapids Kennel Club and Marshfield Area Kennel Club shows.  She is currently sitting on 10 US points including one major,  in 7 days of showing in the United States.
