My husband and I have been married for 25 years and have two lovely grown daughters, Virginia and Christina. I raise and show Chinese Crested dogs and my husband works and in his spare time makes Ringside tables and legs to teach dogs to stack etc. I have been a 4-H dog leader for over six years. My heart is taken by my family of two legged and 4 legged loves. I have had two Chinese Crested breeders that have been so helpful to me. I have Grace Westerson of Sunberry Kennels and also Sharon and Charlie Francis of Starward Kennels.
This is Vernon the Man behind all three of us. Vern is always the one to support our dogs, and help out where ever needed. He likes people to think he doesn't like dogs. He can be found taking a break with them or building the dogs something new. He also builds Stacking blocks, ringside tables and grooming tables. I will say you will catch him playing with the puppies/dogs and spoiling them. We are really lucky in hour Home we all love dogs and this home is a home because of it. The only problem we have with him at shows sometimes is he believes always that the girls should win. He is a great helper at shows but never will be seen in the show ring. This isn't his thing. That is alright as all three of us love it.
Our two daughters love dogs too but they don’t agree on my breed for themselves.
I
am Virginia Eckstein (Jenna). I have graduated from College and have two jobs. I
am now doing back to College to become a Chef. I
have had the best luck in the world. I had the pleasure of meeting Maureen Whitter of Rapture Shih Tzu’s. She taught me everything I know. She took me
under her wing and taught me about grooming, showing, and sold me a wonderful
Show quality Shih Tzu. She also introduced me to lots of wonderful people.
Maureen treated me like one of the family. I have now got my first litter of
Shih Tzu’s this is my breed. I love the grooming and doing the top knots for the
show ring. I will make sure I always have my dogs look good in the ring as I
know Maureen is looking down on me and is my guardian angel.
I am Christina Eckstein. I have just graduated from School. I am now living in Keremeos at my Aunties house working full time and helping with her dogs and horses. I am enjoying myself until I figure out what I want to be. My parents both support any decision I make. I have a very supporting family including all my Aunts and Uncles. I have been in 4-H dogs for 7 years. I have one more year to go.
I would like to thank all the wonderful people for the learning opportunities of how to show Siberian Huskies. I would also like to thank Sheila and Pierre Lematre for the opportunity to show their Siberians. I am not showing right now, but I do plan on showing again. I just need to work for a while first. Thank you to everyone that has supported me threw out my life.
