Jun 25, 2016 | Dog Shows, George, Showing Chihuahuas
In addition to having a wonderful assistant (my hubby came and spent the day up at the show today, taking photos and assisting with the dogs) we were also surrounded by friends as our Mr Georgie achieved his very first Major towards his Champion title. I cannot tell...
Jun 24, 2016 | Dog Shows, George, Showing Chihuahuas
When your competition doesn’t show up and you still go through the motions you get a pointless win. George earned himself a Winner’s Dog for being the only dog willing to arrive at sun-up but he also earned more experience. That’s why I can truly...
Jun 23, 2016 | Junior Showmanship, Special Events, Training
I have to say, when I got word they were holding another event for Juniors at the Orlando Cluster this year, I was so excited that Alexis would have a chance to get one more in before she turns 18. They are such wonderful experiences for the kids. This year that had...
Jun 21, 2016 | Our Chihuahuas, Supplies and Finds
There are always some fabulous find at the TBCC Specialty Auctions. I don’t know where people find the items but I sure love discovering them and of course, having the funds go towards the club. This Specialty’s find is for our back yard and so far,...
Jun 20, 2016 | Breeding Chihuahuas, Breedings, KC
KC is just shy of her 30 mark and it is very obvious that the breeding took. And for her to show this early also tells me my prayers have been answered snd she is not carrying only one puppy! One single huge puppy is always more difficult. But she’s big enough...

The Tampa Bay Chihuahua Club’s 59th Specialty was concurrent with the St. Pete all-breed shows today and both shows brought a lot of fun and excitement for the Figgy crew! First, I should explain that this is a very popular “professional handler”...
Jun 15, 2016 | Feeding & Dog Food, Harry, Training
We did a bit more lead training today to get ready for the TBCC Specialty this weekend. Man he’s looking good. Harry and Alexis will be making their Specialty debut on Saturday- I don’t know who’s more excited! When Harry came to live with us he was...
Jun 14, 2016 | Special Events
The horrible events here in Orlando will forever change our community. My heart and prayers go out to the victims and their families. I am so proud to be a part of this community because over the last couple days I have seen everyone come together as one to help and...
Jun 8, 2016 | Chihuahua Habits, Cosmo
Since he was a pup, Cosmo has been a back-leg potty kicker. You know, when a dog kicks out os rear legs after proudly marking some item? Because of Cosmo’s size, the amount of dirt and debris he kicks up is quite large – Like as much as Boomer the Pug!...
