Angel had a fantastic weekend (the Vincent x Money puppy) again and I want to share Eks news verbatum with you via his email.  This grandma (and grandma Diana) are so very proud of our grandchowdren!!

It is time to share update news from Thailand again. It was so much fun to have Sandra Millers and her daughter Liz came to visited and spends time for 1 week.  She had been seen what I have including my puppies. Dianna had 2 of my puppies and she had named them “Ginger” and “  Honey “. I hope she will have lots of fun with them in the show ring soon. I can not wait to her the result as well.

At the show last weekend here in Thailand, I did have a chance to take “ Angle ” United’s Love Struck back to the show again and she did quiet well. She is 4 /2 months at the moment.

On Saturday , She won Group 2 at the The Mall Lovely Pets Day’s & WDCT Championship Dog Shows , 1st WDCT All Breed Championship Dog Shows under Taiwan Judge : Mr.Chan Sui Kung then in the afternoon show was Group 5 Specialty, Angle won Best Baby In Show Specialty under Indian Judge : Mr.Partha Sekhar Chatterjee.

On Sunday was The Mall Lovely Pets Day’s & WDCT Championship Dog Shows , 2nd WDCT All Breed Championship Dog Shows. She won Best Baby in Show under all a rounder Australian Judge : Mr.Richard Baker. It was very exciting win for us as she had been shown 6 times and won 4 Best Baby in Shows. This Best Baby in Show win was number 403 of all United Chows puppies to update.

I would like to Thank You Sandra and Dianna for giving me an opportunity to used Vincent frozen semen also another Thank you go to my handler Molly Exner who help me working for the breeding.

Chow puppies on our visit to see Ekarat in Thailand

This first photo pretty much says it all when it comes to describing how fun and insane it was trying to photograph wiggly Chow puppies at dusk with only my onboard flash. OMG Liz was laughing so hard at Eks Kennel helper, driver and myself trying to get these puppies to stay still for a split second. We even got her to go to work bribing the babies with food. Only my hand was in focus here!

Chow puppies on our visit to see Ekarat in Thailand

We had an incredible full day yesterday with our guide jerry touring Bangkok and temple hopping. A few of the highlights included the grand palace the wholesale flower market,giving alms to the monks,curry and pad Thai meals,shopping for local crafts,the giant reclining Buddha ,the jade Buddha ,ann hour and a half Thai massage and the highlight of the day…. The puppies!!!my Internet time in the iPhone is very short so I am waiting till later today when we fly to Phuket to add more to this update!

Diana I will call you in a bit,, you will be so proud of these bonnie babies

Well we are just about busting at the seams with this news about a litter born in Thailand, pictured now at 19 days old, sired by our home bred boy Vincent (BISS CH. Chinarose the Impressionist). Vinnie has been gone for some years now but is FAR from forgotten. We froze semen on him years ago and recently chose to let our wonderful friend Ekarat Sangkunakup in Thailand breed one of his incredible girls to Vincent. The breeding was done as a surgical insemination which can be very touchy to say the least.

Lo and behold we have 4 lovable little “pupsicle” girls, all rough coat reds and just as consistant as they can be. I spoke on the phone with Ek two nights ago and puppies are doing fantastic. He says they are very hot from the Thai humidity and heat and the rain won’t stop so he’s very anxious to see them get a bit older and on solid food soon.

Diana and I own Vincent so we are the proudest grandparents you can imagine. Thank you Ek for bringing this gorgeous girl (“Money) to Vincent. It takes two to make magic and we are so excited to see more photos as they develop.!!

CLICK HERE TO SEE EK’S YUMMY WEBSITE AND “MONEY” IS ON THE “OUR DOGS” PAGE

PICTURED ABOVE IS ME WITH VINCENT!!

The beautiful mother to this litter is “Money” Am.Ch.Uniteds Gold Bullion OFA Prelim Good

Money reminds us so much of our dear departed Magenta that it is simply eerie!! After the breeding took place we realized that Ek had judged Magenta and finished her championship and Steve judged Money and finished hers!!!! It was just meant to be this way!!

On another note…a gorgeous day brought the camera out to the Beaverton Farmers Market..Click the image below to see the album full of fun images I took today!
