Introducing... Toy Group Chat!

I've been wanting to get Toy breeders together to talk about our lines, brags, sales - whatever is going on that interests you all

I will also use this thread to host a SDWC roundup and monthly stats for the group.

(Photos in the banner are all by me from various shows.)

I'll start...

Best of luck to everyone at the SDWC tomorrow!
Judge Kristy Bryant will have the opportunity to assess some fabulous competition.

For my part -
I have a new puppy who gave me a real Thanksgiving treat: BISS and BOB yesterday in two shows from the puppy class. I am impressed with this little "Rocky". One point to finish.

Another month down, congrats to all winners today at the November 2024 SDWC. Time to highlight the winners Kristy Bryant clearly has a very keen eye and that showed in all of her choices today.

#1-
GCHS Solcintra2 Vanquish [Dog]
Breed: Pomeranian
Owner/Breeder: Solcintra II

#2-
CH Agamede Radio Star [Dog]
Breed: Manchester Toy Terrier
Owner/Breeder: Agamede

#3-
GCH Waggs Four Letter Word [Dog]
Breed: Yorkshire Terrier
Owner/Breeder: Waggs1

#4-
GCH Parhelion Noche de Lobo [Dog]

The group winner is also the #1 Toy and the #37 dog for November 2024, with 1,269 dogs beaten.

----

Since this is also a brag space, I want to congratulate my own GCHP Comet Millennium Star, who took BOS today at the SDWC. She finished #5 Toy this month and retires the #2 Toy Poodle by GCH points (519). She had a really great run, including two Nationals wins, and a group placement at the August SDWC. I will miss showing her.

Okay, I'd love to read brags and highlights. I know others work very hard on their lines here!

Congratulations to everyone and there dog! I can't wait to see more!!!

Thanks for starting this fun thread! Excited to meet other toy breeders

-Fleurdelis (Italian Greyhounds and Pekingese!)

Congratulations everyone..

as my username suggests, I dabble a lot in toys. I started in chihuahuas and shih tzus, and I am now focused on Affenpinschers, with papillons on the side (and Collies). I wish I could have kennels for all of these breeds

Affenpinschers are really fun, lots of room to improve but slow going because of their small litter sizes

I am almost at my balance max so if any breed needs specialties, I can host, just post here

Hi, Fleurdelis and Vintage! You both are doing wonderful things for your breeds, so thank you.

And thank you too, Prophets Dream, this was inspired by your roundups.

I was thinking of covering Nationals wins here as well weekly. There are 20 in every month for the group but only one this week to kick of December...
