The British Chihuahua Club's 2015 Championship Show was held on Sunday 8th November at the Blackbird Leys Leisure Centre near Oxford.  We had an excellent entry with very strong competitition in many of the classes, and the show got underway promptly at 9am.

Meanwhile Longcoats were judged by Lee Humphreys, picking the outstanding Jap/Fr/Int Ch Peregrine Jp Go My Way handled by Mr Willie Heap for the Dog CC (his third) and BOB, with Mrs Lesley Adams' Ch Hollyel Topaz Chancer JW in a rare second place taking RCC.  In bitches she picked out Jim and Kath Culverhouse's Lykath's Mystic Moonflower for the CC, with RCC to Sharon Robson's Tidos Cherry Blossom.  Sharon also collected Best Puppy in Breed with Tidos Rock Dude.  Best Longcoat Veteran was Phil and Linda Cater's 9-year-old bitch Pixels Willow ShCM.

Don't be tricked out of your money
With the continuing popularity of Chihuahuas, people desperate to obtain a puppy are sending off large amounts of money to people they've never met for dogs they've never seen.  Sadly many of them never receive the puppy they were promised, or ever see their money again.  Read our page Buying A Chihuahua to see how the Club can put you in touch with Club members who may have puppies for sale.  Our members are obliged to abide by our code of ethics
