Meet the BriarPatch Gang
Our dogs are our family, and while some are show dogs, and some are used in our breeding program, all are beloved pets first! Here is a little bit about the dogs that share our home. Click on a name to see the pedigree.
(CH Rocking H Mr Kibbles)
Kibbie was our first Havanese who came to us as a little ball of fluff in April of 2001. What a cutie! He spent a lot of time teaching us Havanese games, and about showing, and even tried his paw as a bit of agility. He finished his AKC Championship in April of 2002.
He is a very special boy and a VSP (very spoiled pet!).
(CH Gingerbred Makin' Mischief)
When we found that Kibbie needed a friend to keep him company, we found Mischief. He was a little scrapper, and immediately he and Kibbie hit it off and become brothers for life. Mischief also did well in the show ring, and finished his AKC Championship just before his 1 year birthday.
He also enjoys his life here with us as a VSP (very spoiled pet).
(CH Janizona Song of the South)
Dixie is our "Queen Mum"...the smallest member of the household, but without a doubt, the alpha here! She strutted her stuff in the show ring, and finished her AKC Championship by the age of 9 months.
After completing her health testing, she blessed us with two beautiful litters before being retired, and now spends most of her time keeping everyone else in the Gang in line.
(CH Janizona Briarpatch My Oh My)
Emmy joined our family in 2004, and finished her AKC Championship the following year. After completing her health testing, she has given us two beautiful litters of puppies, and is currently part of our breeding program.
She has the most wonderful coat, great conformation and loving temperament. Emmy is a very loving and dedicated mom and loves playing with her puppies!
(CH Blackbirch Magic of Briarpatch)
Maggie came to live with us in 2006, and completed her AKC Championship in 2007. She has a silky, carefree coat, great conformation and a 'devil may care' attitude. She was a blast to show as she was bullet-proof in the ring.
She has recently had her first litter, and so far the puppies look to be of great potential.
Tazie
(Briarpatch's Fantasia)
Tazie was one of Emmy's first litter...she was to be my "keeper," and after she attained her AKC Championship and passed all her health testing, someday take her mom's place in my breeding program.
Unfortunately, as she grew, we found that she had a bite that would keep her out of the show ring. It broke my heart, as she's a knockout in almost every other way - and would have been really fun to show!
We may eventually place Tazie in a local, loving home with other dogs to play with, but for now, she is the catalyst around here - and is the instigator of most of the "run like hell" racing games in our yard!
