Toy Manchester Great Ones

THE GREAT ONES
RETIRED OR DECEASED
SAINT LAZAR Toy Manchester Terriers

Probably the finest Toy Manchester Stud dog ever (Some will argue that it is Ch. Saint Lazar's Klay SDY, HOF - flip a coin). Champion Saint Lazar's Lance, Retired, American Manchester Terrier Club Stud Dog of the Year, American Manchester Terrier Club Hall of Fame Member, sire of dozens of Champions. Photograph made January 25, 2008 at age 6 years and seven months of age. There are very, very, few breeders who have the knowledge, or the necessary genes to produce a TMT that can even approach the quality of this fine boy. Thank you once again LORD for blessing us with Lance and all the others.

Champion Saint Lazar's Clarice, Retired, a Jillian and Chase girl. Born 11/21/02, shown here 4/15/03. As pretty a bitch as you could hope for, wonderful outgoing disposition, loves to show. Won big time at the American Manchester Terrier Club National Specialty in Des Moines, IA in Sept. 2003, beat only once by her kennelmate, "Serena". She produced the absolute finest pups.

Champion Saint Lazar's Jade COM Retired- A Klay & Peanut pup, pictured here with Wanda, when she had just started her show career. She is a dainty 9 lbs., perfectly proportioned, and was very outgoing in the show ring. Good judges generally will put up the best dog in spite of the competition using "professional handlers" who show dogs for profit rather than as a sport or hobby. Dominated competition at 2000 AMTC National Specialty. Beat once by kennelmate "Juno".

Champion Saint Lazar's Tara II - Pictured above on 3/27/06, Tara entered honorable retirement on 4/16/06, and is now living in Florida in luxury in the home of Steven Hiller. A wonderful girl, intelligent, very, very, obedient and affectionate, and the mother of many Champions. We are keeping a female from her last litter born 1/29/06, sired by Lance, so her influence will affect our kennel for quite some time, the LORD willing. Thank you Steven for providing a wonderful place for this great gal. (Tara passed into GOD'S hands on December 28, 2006 due to complications of surgery earlier in the year. GOD bless Steven Hiller for the home and love he gave her in retirement)

US & Canadian Champion Saint Lazar She's A Rocket AOM COM Retired - Klay & Ada daughter. Beat the nations top 22 class bitches AMTC 1999 National Specialty week to achieve AKC Championship, plus received coveted Aware of Merit, plus Medallion from AKC for earning all AKC Championship points from the prestigious "Bred By Exhibitor" Class

Forest Grove Sara of St. Lazar Retired - Sara, was purchased from friend Sarah Lansdell, and is a Saint Lazar's Action Jackson granddaughter. Shown occasionally, she has about 6 points toward the required 15 to earn a "Championship". She is the dam of Lance, our super nice male, and Serena.

Champion Saint Lazar's Juno (Now retired) - Shown enjoying the warm March sun, they don't come any prettier than this gal. A Jasmine/Klay pup.

Champion Saint Lazar's Andrea (Now retired) - "Ada" - Daughter of Ace & Amber. Probably the prettiest bitch we have ever produced, she garnered many unsolicited compliments, and much praise from knowledgeable judges. Mother of top winning Champion Saint Lazar She's A Rocket.

Champion Saint Lazar's Jasmine (Deceased) - Shown 3/20/00. She and Ace produced the best Toys in the US. She is perfect here at about 10 lbs. She spend her last days living happily with our good friend, Madonna Lee, in Cocoa Beach, FL.

Saint Lazar's Just Josie (Retired) - A Joseph & Jetta pup, shown on our waterbed at age 5 mo. She is now living with friends, Marilyn & Lucas Banks. She is quite small, going about 8 lbs. Very affectionate, and one of the "cutest we ever produced.

IN MEMORIAM 8/7/92 - 9/19/04

Champion Saint Lazar's Raisin Pie HOF, Son of the all time great Ch. Saint Lazar's Action Jackson, passed away 9/19/04. He was Sire of the #1 Toy Manchester in the U.S. ("Darien"). This outstanding Toy Manchester Terrier was an American Manchester Terrier Club (AMTC) "Hall of Fame" member, sire of Ch. Saint Lazar's Clay HOF, AMTC "Stud Dog of the Year", and numerous AKC Champions and show quality puppies. He was an elegant, supremely intelligent and affectionate dog, which qualities he passed down even to the fifth generation. One could not ask for a better dog. LORD we thank you for this wonderful boy, and we thank you for his peaceful passing.

IN MEMORIAM 5/13/95 - 1/24/05

"ACE"

CHAMPION SAINT LAZAR'S ACE VENTURA,SDY, HOF
American Manchester Terrier Club "Stud Dog of the Year" and "Hall of Fame Member

It was with great sadness that one of the finest Toy Manchester Terriers to tread this olde sod, was eased into the bosom of the LORD January 24, 2005. For about a month, Ace had been in severe discomfort due to injury/degeneration of some spinal vertebrae. He was under the excellent care of our Vet, Dr. Kristian Shriver, but for the past several days he had been unable to stand on his front legs, no matter his valiant efforts. There was no chance of improvement or recovery.

Ace's honors are simply too numerous to recount, he did Saint Lazar proud in every respect. He is survived by numerous AKC Champion Toy Manchester sons and daughters, and his Sire, Champion Saint Lazar's Klay, A.M.T.C. Hall of Fame member, also an A.M.T.C. "Stud Dog of the Year". Currently residing in our kennel, are Ace's son's, AKC Champions Saint Lazar's Jasper Jeep, Jeb Stuart, Lance, and soon to be a Champion, J.R. Ewing, and his daughters, AKC Champions Tara II, Serena, and Burmack's Aurora at St. Lazar. All of these guys and gals are continuing to produce the finest Toy Manchesters in the world. Losing a dog that has been in your home and kennel for many years, is one of the hardest things that loving, conscientious breeders have to face. Their lives are all too short. Thank you LORD for the time together with this fine fellow. We love you Ace.
Wanda & Charlie

Here's a photo, circa 1996, of Ace (left) squaring off with his granddad, Pie. These guys were in their prime. JR Ewing, an Ace dog, is the "spitting image" of his Dad, so it's almost like we still have Ace..

This magnificent old fellow pictured above with Wanda, is Saint Lazar's Jazzman of Pamelot, born 7/26/89 - Died 12/9/04. Littermate to the all time great Ch. Saint Lazar's Action Jackson HOF, and Ch. Saint Lazar's Just Amber, two of the finest dogs we ever produced, Jazz lived with Marilyn and Lucas Banks in Atlanta for many years. He suffered a severe head injury from a vicious child some time back, so he was pretty shaky on his feet. Also his hearing was about gone when he came to visit not long ago. However, when Lucas put him down with some of the young girls, he thought he was a stud dog, and followed them all over the property. GOD bless him, he was a true Saint Lazar! He could not have received better care than he got from the Banks family, we appreciate you folks. Gracious, what I wouldn't give to turn out a few more litters like this before we hang it up.
