Toy Manchester Show Wins

Saint Lazar has been on a roll the past 41 months - 40 new Champions (measured from December 2004) - There would be many more, but most of our pups go to discerning companion homes. Photos below, with date of Championship. Click on photo for larger version. Nobody does it better! (Note 5/5/08 - More photos coming)

Ch. Saint Lazar's Darkside Jagger (12/10/04) #1 - The very first time Jagger set foot in a show ring with our good friend & co-owner, Madonna Lee, Cocoa Beach, FL, he whipped all the competition for AKC Major points. He then went on to a very prestigious 4th place in the Toy Group, all from the Puppy Class. Congratulations Madonna for your super handling of this outstanding boy.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Ajay (12/12/04) #2 - Pictured at age 6 months, and Ada/Klay boy. He is a typical Saint Lazar male, beautiful color, great "thumbprints", correct dark eye, and a very affectionate disposition. He is the Sire of our Champion littermates, Annie Oakley & Marshall Dillon, both top producers of Champions.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Cory Ch San Marino, Ch. Poland (1/9/05) #3 - Born 7/14/03, a brother to Clarice in a repeat litter, the guy has the super Saint Lazar disposition. He is a show "natural", i.e., he loves to show, sets himself up perfectly for the Judge without one laying a hand on him. He is on loan under a co-ownership to Ilona Cerna of the Czech Republic. Ilona has taken Cory to a Championship of San Marino & Poland so far.	Ch. Saint Lazar's She's Ruthless (3/16/05) #4 - Born 5/21/04 out of Rocket & Lance, she is very much her mother's dog, an "alpha bitch", hence the name "Ruthless". An absolutely gorgeous girl. She is nursing her first litter as this if written.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Diamond Lil ROM (4/30/05) #5 - Lis is out of Jade & Lance, two of our best producers, Lance being Stud Dog of the Year. Lil is one of the best "movers" in the ring that we have had. Elegant is the word. Lil defeated a huge entry to gain her Championship. She went Best of Opposite Sex at the 06 AMTC National Specialty. Her entire litter are AKC Champions.
Ch. Saint Lazar's Sir Lancelot (4-30-05) #6 - Diane Vendittoli, owner, of Montreal, Canada is pictured above with Lancelot who won Best of Breed 3 days in a row to garner his Canadian Championship. Lancelot has since gone on to win Best in Shows. He is a littermate to our Ruthless and a brother to our Indiana Jones, by a repeat breeding.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Habibi Sagi (5/9/05) #7 - Owned by Dr. Roger Travis, Sagi won Best of Variety 4 straight days in PA taking a major each day to win her AKC Championship. This beautiful girl is littermate to our Diamond Lil, and the entire litter are Champions.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Alexis (5/7/05) #8 - Judge Holly Somers, owner, of Portland, OR, handled Lexi to achieve her AKC Championship. A beautiful girl that hopefully will be used in a carefully "planned breeding".	Ch. Saint Lazar's Livia (5/22/05) #9 - This very nice girl is Co-owner and bred with breeder friend Elizabeth Treese of St. Mary's , GA. Elizabeth gained Livia's Championship by showing her exclusively in the prestigious Bred by Exhibitor Class. Way to go Elizabeth & Livia!	Ch. Saint Lazar's Cherry Pie (6/26/06) #10 - This fine girl achieved her Championship while being shown by co-owner & long time friend, Barbara Dillard of Henderson, NC. Cherry's sire is the great Raisin Pie, and she has his super temperament. Thanks Barb for a great handling job!
Ch. Saint Lazar's Lola at Burmack (7/12/05) #11 - Lola is from an entire litter of Jade/Lance Champions. She is co-owned by Jim Burrows & Pat Mackesey, who took her to her Championship. Diamond Lil & Sagi are her littermates.	Ch. Saint Lazar She's A Rebel (8/26/05) #12 - Rebel went Best of Winners beating the nation's best Class Bitches at the AMTC National Specialty weekend 9/19/05 in Olympia, WA. Owner handled by Wanda Walker exclusively in the Bred by Exhibitor Class to gain her Championship.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Indiana Jones (9/25/05) #13 - The "real" Indy finally decided he liked dog shows, and he did it with a vengeance. He became a Champion on Charlie's birthday. He later defeated an entry of 23 TMT's in Ashville, NC including "professionally handled advertised" dogs. He has produced outstanding pups in carefully planned litters.	Ch. Brmck-St.Lzr Eleanor Rigby (9/25/05) #14 This fine little girl whose mom is an English import, & whose sire is our Striker, achieved her Championship with Indy on my birthday. She finished with a "bang" with 4 major wins, the last as Best of Opposite Sex over 2 Champions. We have "Honey", a keeper from her first litter.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Regency (2/19/06) #15 - "Regency" is owned by Rennie Feitz of Albuquerque, NM. He became a Champion at only 10 months of age. He took a Toy Group 4th placement his first time in a show ring. Some folks show for years and can't win a Best of Variety much less take a Group placement. Great job Rennie & Regency!
Ch. Saint Lazar's A'int She A Peach (4/9/06) #16 - Owners Tobby & Ginger Jones of Charlotte, NC handled this beautiful Jillian/Striker girl to her AKC Championship. Peaches has some nice wins as a "Special". Great job folks!	Ch. Saint Lazar's Starbuck (4/15/06) #17 - This nifty Sara/Marshall boy easily achieved his Championship at 9 months of age against very strong competition. He pulled off a Best of Variety at the AMTC District 2 Specialty against "professionally handed" dogs. He has sired very nice pups.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Rosie in Bloom (4/22/06) #18 - Owner Barbara Munafo of Lawrenceburg, KY is a show novice, but you would not know it when she handled Rosie easily to her Championship. This very pretty Clarice/Lance girl has produced her first litter out of our JERK. Ewing. Great job Barbara!	Ch. Saint Lazar's Diamond Jim (6/11/06) #19 - What can I say? His dam is Jade, & his sire is Stud Dog of the Year, Lance. DJ is compact, obedient, intelligent, affectionate, the absolute epitome of a totally correct Toy Manchester. He will be going to the UK in mid 07 for a new adventure.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Black Berry (6/24/06) #20 - This beautiful girl is owned by our longtime friend, Barbara Dillard, who showed her to her Championship. We don't have a dog with better movement, coat, color, head, ear size/set, or temperament. Great job again Barbara!!

SPECIAL NOTE: I am so proud of Wanda. It had not been 4 weeks since she had her right knee replaced, and here she is above showing "Indy" flawlessly in the Breed & Toy Group competition. She showed in the Breed ring both days (we were not entered Friday). She is tough! You can understand why I say "yes maam, and no maam". I love her dearly.

Ch. Saint Lazar's Habibi Sagi, shown above with owner, Dr. Roger Travis. Sagi won Best of Variety on Friday & Sunday at AMTC District II Specialty weekend. She is from a litter of all Champions!

Best of Variety & Best of Winners (5 Pt Major) - Saint Lazar's Peach & Pie
Best of Opposite Sex to BOV & Winners Dog - Mills' Lucky Strike at Layclyf.

Notes: This is a tremendous compliment to the quality of "Peach" and "Dylan" (results of "Planned Breeding") by taking these outstanding wins in an entry of 18, which included defeating several Champions, some "Professionally" handled. Thank you again LORD!

The beautiful 9 month old girl shown above is Saint Lazar's Affinity owned by the Gerard Maurice family in Valentigny, France. We shipped Affinity to Gerard last December, and he had her in her first show in Colmar, France yesterday, 4-1-06. As you can see from her trophies, she is a typical Saint Lazar quality girl. Gerard's email to us is posted below;

Charlie,

Affinity is 9 months old, so we went today at her first show, at Colmar
(Alsace in France near Germany, 100km).
She was the only one ETT.
She was very kind, listening to me, had good looking and walking, i love
her !
From 9 to 12 months it's young class.
She was 1st Excellent in young female class. Then it was the contest of
best of young dogs of the 3rd Group, with another judge and there she
was 3rd (on about 12 dogs of other breeds.)
Judge's commentary :
"9 mois, dentition complete correcte. Joli sujet juvénile. Rein court.
Excellent dessus bien tendu. Ossature correcte. Jolie angulation
arrière. Pied compact. Poitrine un peu courte. Raccordement du ventre un
peu abrupt. Excellente expression éveillée. très bon sternum. Poitrine
bien éclatée. Excellente oreille bien dressée et bien implantée. Très
bonne démarche encore un peu fantaisiste."
It's hard to translate, but i try :
"9 months, set of teeth complete and correct. Pretty dog still
youthfull. Short kidney. Excellent ( top? back?) well tight. Correct
bone structure. Pretty rear angular. Compact foot. Chess a little short.
Join from chess to belly a little abrupt. Excellent awake expression.
Very good sternum. Chess well explode. Excellent well erected and well
implanted ears. Very good walking still a little capricious (youthfull?)"
Back home Affie ate and now she is sleeping, she was exhausted !
We are very happy, for the show results but above all for having
Affinity. She is great and so affectionate, every body loves her.
Some pictures of the day.

Best
Gérard

If I may assist Gerard in the translation, what the Judge was saying is that Affinity is 9 months old, has the correct teeth called for in a Manchester Terrier, she has a short loin, excellent top line, correct bone structure, good rear angulation (this and dentition are a problem in American TMT's), her chest is a little short (this will "drop" as she matures), the junction of the chest to stomach is a little abrupt, she has an alert expression, very good sternum, chest is well expanded. Her ears are excellent, well set and erect. Her movement is very good, but somewhat "puppyfied" (as to be expected at this age). I wish we could get some Judges in the U.S. that are knowledgeable enough to critique a dog in this detail, there are some, but few and far between. They simply don't get this knowledge when they get their license at Wal-Mart, as so often seems to be the norm.

Here is Affinity's Certificate for her nice win. Wanda and I are really greatful for Gerard sending us these photos and the information about Affinty's debut.

Ch. Saint Lazar's Betty Boop (7/8/06) This very fine Striker/Tara girl gained her Championship in only 8 show weekends under the superb handling of owner Karen Bristol of Burkburnett, TX. She was undefeated in the Classes! Karen & husband, Rex, have become great friends. Thanks a million folks!	Ch. Saint Lazar Burmack Sabatino (7/15/06) #22 - I don't think we have ever had a prettier puppy than Tino. Picked by co-owner Jim Burrows, he easily got his Championship once his littermate brother, Starbuck, got out of competition with him.	Ch. Saint Lazar's J.R. Ewing (7/22/06) #23 - This fine, fine, example of a correct Toy male is a Jade/Ace (Stud Dog of the Year) dog. He exhibits the best of both in that he has a perfectly correct coat, great color & markings, fine head and ear set, super nice temperament, plus he is a proven stud of Champions. We did him an injustice by interrupting his show career & not achieving his Championship sooner.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Peach & Pie (8/18/06) #24 - Another beautiful gal in the long line of Champions from Saint Lazar. Regularly beating tough competition, Peaches finished with 4 Majors. However, once again we can't say enough about the dedication of our long time friend Barbara Dillard from Henderson, NC. Her Son, Russell, is without peer when it comes to socializing & training pups. Naturally, this is a "Striker" girl.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Legacy At Islay (8/15/06) #25 - "Jacob", the beautiful littermate brother to Betty Boop, is owned by Margaret McNab in Canada. The boy tore up the competition achieving his Championship. He is shown above winning a Toy Group 2 placement. Saint Lazar is extremely grateful & proud of Margaret for her outstanding training & handling.
Ch. Saint Lazar's Pris of Tara (9/24/06) #26 - The competition gave a big sigh of relief when Pris gained her Championship. She was virtually undefeated & became a Champion at only 7 months of age. She repeatedly beat highly advertised "professionally handled" Champions, and my publishing her record was very poorly received. So be it, as the man said, "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". She is a Tara/Lance girl.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Black Boy (X-X-X) #27 - Black Boy is co-owned and shown by friend, Barbara Dillard. I have mislaid his "vitals", but will soon have this from Barbara. One will notice that Barb has done quite well in this gallery when it comes to taking good dogs to a Championship. This is not his photo above, but is "Mystery Boy".	Ch. Saint Lazar's Morgan Joe (10/22/06) #28 - Mo Jo was born on Charlie's birthday, 9/25/03, out of Josie and Morgan Jake. He loafed around the kennel just being loved & petted until friend Barbara Dillard asked if she could take him and show him. Sure enough, it didn't take Barb long to knock off some keen competition and take this fine boy to his Championship. You the girl Barb!	Ch. Saint Lazar's Annie Oakley (x-x-x) #29 - Annie is pictured above at age 6 mo. She matured into a beautiful dog, and is another girl that Barbara Dillard worked her "handling" magic on. Annie and Ryder produced Penny Lane, who is pictured next in this gallery. We are looking forward to her producing even more Champs. Thanks again Barbara, what a true friend!	Ch. Saint Lazar's Penny Lane (2/3/07) #30 - Also pictured at 6 mo of age, Penny achieved her Championship by defeating 10 TMT's, including 4 Champions, three of whom were "professionally handled". She is a very sweet dog, and we hope she will soon be producing her first litter.
Ch. Saint Lazar's Raven Rock (2/10/07) #31 - What a pretty boy! Raven is owned by Stella Woodard who resides in KY and she was assisted in the ring by Jeremy & Rachel Mcclister. These folks have been steadfast in the show ring, and they deserve a hardy congratulations.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Zorro (4/13/07) #32 - An "Indy" and Rebel boy, he had absolutely no problem getting his Championship. He had produced 3 outstanding litters, and his show career is not over.	Ch. Saint Lazar's Amethyst (5/10/07) #33 - A Jade & Alex girl she is the very best from "planned breeding". It took her only 3 show outings to gain her Championship. No one can beat her "ring presence".	Ch. Saint Lazar's Affinity (6-17-07) #34 An Aurora & Marshall Dillon girl, she lives in Valentigny, France with the Gerard Maurice family. Sold as a pet, she has excelled in the show ring.
