Our Yearbook - 'The Chihuahua Chronicle'

Each year, going on sale at Crufts in March, the Club publishes a Yearbook covering the activities of the previous twelve months.  The book is known as the Chihuahua Chronicle, and is now in its 36th year of publication.  There have been several editors over the years, four cover designs, but only two price increases.  The Yearbook is currently edited by Bernard Coxhead.

The Yearbook contains the following sections:

• A list of new Champions made up during the year (subject to Kennel Club confirmation);
• A table of all the CCs (Challenge Certificates) and Reserve CCs awarded in each coat at each Championship Show that year, listing the judge, the CC-winning dog and bitch with their running tally of CCs to date, and the Reserve CC winners;
• Tables of dogs and bitches for each coat winning the most CC, RCC and BOB awards, and those winning the most Best Puppy awards at shows with CCs on offer;
• A list of 'Top Dog' awards made by the British Chihuahua Club and the dog showing press;
• A gallery of new Champions made up during the year, with photo and 4-generation pedigree;
• Three-generation Pedigrees for each CC winner of the year, listing the judges awarding those CCs and any CCs awarded in previous years;
• Detailed results for each Championship show during the year in date order (with index) with judges, number of entries and the winners of each class (2nd and 3rd places are also given for Limit and Open classes, which count for a Stud Book Number), noting the winners of CCs and Reserve CCs, Best of Breed, Best Puppy, Best Veteran etc and any Group or BiS placings;
• Principal results from all Breed Club Open and Limit Shows comprising names of judges, number of entries, and winners of BIS, RBIS, BPIS and BVIS.

As only four Champ Shows were held in 2020 due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the 2021 volume that covered that year was a special edition that included an extra section containing information and photos from the first twenty years of the Chronicle - top dogs, new champions, show judges and CC & RCC winners.

Yearbooks go on sale each year from the club stand at Crufts, and afterwards at our shows and from our Club Merchandise page.

Advertisers need not be BCC members. For Chihuahua breeders and exhibitors who wish to advertise in the Yearbook, advertisement order forms are available between 1st September - 31st December each year.  Some trade advertisements are also accepted.

Errata: Naturally, in spite of the best efforts of the Editor and helpful people who may proof-read the book before publication, some errors always creep in. If you want to correct the errors (that we know about) in your copy, you can find the known errata for each recent year here.  If you find another error, please let us know by emailing editor@britishchihuahua.club and we'll check and update the relevant section.
