This picture of our CH “ANNIE” was taken in Colorado at Roaring Fork Kennel Club on July 12, 2003. The judge was Mr. Douglas Shipley and the handler was Ric Plaut. This was a 3 point Major Win and she was also awarded Best Opposite Sex. Annie finished her championship the next day with another 3 point Major Win.
CH “Arta” is shown finishing her Championship at Electric City Kennel Club on June 21, 2003. The judge awarding her Winners Bitch and Best of Winners is Mrs. Linda Scanlon. Bill is in the photo handling our fuzzy little heart of the artichoke.
This is a photo of our lovely CH “BARBIE” taking her first major win. The show was Central Ohio Kennel Club and the date was April 23, 1995. The judge was Mr. Michael Sosne and Barbie’s hander was Hannalore Heller.
Barbie was 27 months of age when this photo was taken. There is another photo of Barbie on our wirehaired Dachshund page and below that was taken when Barbie was 143 months of age….still lovely at almost 12 years old!!
As of the date of the following photo, Barbie is the proud dam of 8 AKC CHAMPIONS: CH NUFOREST TOY STORY MW, CH NUFOREST RAG DOLL MW, CH NUFOREST JEEYI JEAUX MW, CH NUFOREST BARBIEZ GUY MW, CH NUFOREST BARBIEZ DOLL MW, NUFOREST BARBED WIRE MW, CH NUFOREST BAR B PISTOL PETE MW and CH NUFOREST BAR B PECOS PETE MW. No wonder Barbie was recognized by the Dachshund Club of America as: the NUMBER 2 TOP PRODUCER — WIREHAIRED BITCH in 2002!
CH “BEAMER” is a handsome black & tan miniature wirehaired Dachshund. He is pictured here finishing his Championship and being handled by Karen Kurtzner.
CH Better finished his AKC Championship out of the Bred By Exhibitor class
(no photo available)
We got CH “Bo” as an adult from Ellen Bourgeois and Mary Karat when they stopped breeding and showing miniature Dachshunds. CH ELENBUSCH RAINBOW’S END MW was born June 4, 1976 and we had him until he was 18 years of age. Bo’s sire was CH MAY’S HAP-PEA TORPEDO MW and Bo’s dam was CH ELENBUSCH HOLLY GOLIGHTLY MW
This red mini wirehair is our CH “BOB”. Doug and Mandy Carlson, professional handlers showed Bob and several of our other miniature Dachshunds to their Championships. This photo shows Bob at HEART OF AMERICA KENNEL CLUB.
The judge in this photo is Mr. Lowell K. Davis. Bill handled Boomer to each of his wins. We did not get a Bred By Exhibitor Medallion from the AKC because Boomer’s first points came from the Puppy Class (pictured here). Boomer finished his AKC Championship under judge, Mrs. C. M. Barton at Lost Dutchman Kennel Club in Arizona, March 12, 2005.
This photo of CH “BUZZ” shows a handsome miniature wirehaired Champion….but you need to look under all the hair to see the dog! This picture was taken just before Bill pulled his coat and began the process of getting Buzz ready to be shown as a Special. It takes about 60 days for a wirehaired Dachshund to go from this shaggy look to the sleek perfectly groomed dog you see in the showing.
The photos shows CH “Casey” finishing his AKC Championship with a 5 Point Major!! under judge Mr. Edward M. Gilbert. The show was Canada De Oro Kennel Club, November 19, 2005. CH Casey was handled to his Championship by Ric Plaut, PHA (after being trained & shown by our [then] 7 year old Granddaughter, Hollie Groves)
