Show News

We have a few new “show hopefuls” in the Mishka Vintage Cavalier family.  Many are still being grown out and have not begun their show careers yet.  We would like to introduce you to one of our home bred rising stars, Mishka Paddington Bear, and revisit Sasha’s road to her championship.
 

Introducing: Paddington

Look at our new Canadian Champion, Mishka Paddington Bear, “Paddy.”  Paddy took the Canadian circuit by storm, winning his first show at 7½ months old.  He completed his championship while still a puppy at 11 months old, and at times placing ahead of AKC champions.  We look forward to seeing Paddy in the upcoming months in the United States, as he begins showing in AKC shows.  Paddy is owned by Thomas Faulkner and Rhonda Blair, and and professionally handled by Aaron Andriash.

Here are pictures of my girls.  Nadia is on the left, and Sasha is on the right.  Although they are not related, I always refer to them as my twins.  They were born six weeks apart, and have been with me since 8-9 weeks of age.  These two are inseparable. 

These photos were taken in the summer of 2006, at their first photo-shoot at a horse farm in Poulsbo, WA.  The photos are part of a wonderful calendar featuring my Cavaliers.
