Maisie is the first chihuahua to join us here at Stormchi. We selected her for her type, her amazingly laid-back temperament and her lines. These lines are also known for their good health, being self-whelping and having sound temperaments - As well as their presence in the show ring!
At 6 months and 5 days old Maisie made her debut in the show ring, and proved what an amazing girl she is. She won 2nd place AV Puppy, 4th AV Non-Sporting and 2nd AV Open at her very first show, and was complimented by both judges on her amazing ring presence! After showing for only 6 months she had a total of almost 50 rosettes including many 1st places, and has even gone on to win multiple Reserve Best In Show's and Best Puppy In Show's before she was 1 year old!
At 20 months old Maisies rosette total was over 100, plus several trophies. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her in the show ring and even done a little basic agility which she has also done very well in, and some obedience. This year Maisie has done very well considering that she was out of the ring on motherhood duties for half of the year, even receiving her very first Best In Show. I am very pleased to announce that she has passed on her lovely temperament to her puppies.
Maisie has also passed her Kennel Club Canine Good Citizens Bronze award, and is working towards her novice trick dog title. She started 2014s show year very well and has already had a Reserve Best In Show along with several other placings.

Stormchi Calixto - "Yoda"

Gender - Dog (Neutered)

Yoda is Maisies son, and litter sister to Shelby. He lives with a close friend and is still very much part of the Stormchi family. He has a very nice show career already and we expect him to do very well as he matures.
Yoda is an extremely cheeky little guy, with a real "look at me" attitude. I have been lucky enough to show him several times, and will be showing him in the future too along with his new mum. He is an amazing little dog and I feel extremely lucky to still have him as part of the Stormchi family, and to see on such a regular basis.
Yodas show career started with a bang. His first open show, and took 1st place in the Longcoat Chihuahua open class, even beating a dog who had won their Junior Warrant. A huge achievement for a 9 month old puppy, but especially at his first show. Very well done Yoda! He would also have taken Reserve Best Of Breed had this award been on offer at this show.
Yoda has since been neutered as one of his ears dropped while teething and did not go back up. He is still being shown at companion level and is a very important part of the Stormchi family.

Pippi
Colour - Fawn Sable and White
Gender - Bitch (spayed)
Date Of Birth - 21/05/2005 (est)
Unknown Background
Pippi is not a pure chihuahua, or a dog we have ever considered breeding from. She is a rescue dog, believed to be a cross between a Chihuahua and a Pug, and the whole reason I fell in love with Chihuahuas in the first place!
Pippi came into our lives in the spring of 2008 while I was studying at university, with major health and behavioural problems. She was severely overweight, didn't have any basic training other than being puppy pad trained, and had severe fear-based aggression. She was also allergic to many things in conventional dog foods, including processed lamb, all types of grains, preservatives and much more. She did not even know how to play! However since changing her diet, some proper training, and giving her lots of love, she is now one of the sweetest, most loving dogs you could ever meet and her health problems are almost completely gone!
She shows occasionally at Companion and Fun Dog Shows, and is often seen in the Best Rescue and Best Trick classes, showing off what she can do! Pippi may not be a pure chihuahua or have a prize winning pedigree, but she is a huge part of our lives and we wouldn't be without her.
UPDATE - Pippi has now been mostly retired from showing as she is starting to loose her hearing and sight. She now spends her days relaxing, having a proper retirement. She still enjoys playing with the other Stormchi dogs and practising her tricks though!

Pictures of the chihuahuas parents etc are available on the Photos page.
All my dogs are shown locally, and if they enjoy it they then go on to Open, Limit and Championship shows. They are family members before they are show dogs or breeding dogs!
