Goood Health, excellent temperments, longevity & BREED TYPE = the standard of the chows from the My-Sam Line.....dedicated to continuing the tradition and the "My-Sam" look. 

 

Almost 15 years ago I began showing chows.   After almost 2 years of dragging around my first "show dog"  to every show possible I decided to call it quits and spay her.  I then  purchased my first Champion  from Frank & Sandra Holloway of My-Sam chows, "Bravegirl" - she became my foundation bitch.    She was everything I could have hoped for, her stellar conformation, type and movement was unsurpassed.  Although a little girl she was not to be missed in the show ring - what a personality!!  She easily earned her Canine Good Citizen title and enjoyed therapy work.  "Brave" finished her championship at 9 months old with a 4 and 5 point majors (over specials) in one weekend.  She then went on to produce 2 litters - a total of 5 BOYS - ALL  finished their championships with 3 or more majors.  She easily earned her Register of Merit title producing my First Breeder/Owner Handled Best in Show dog - "Mickey".  At 12 1/2 years old she is in good health and pretty spry for an old lady.

 

"Mickey" has proven himself in the show ring, with an all-breed Best in Show, BOB Specialty wins, Awards of Merit and over 60 group placements, along with earning his Register of Merit  (with very limited breeding) and his Canine Good Citizen title.  I am most proud of his accomplishments in the whelping box.  He continues the tradition of his (triple) grandfather, "Murphy",  stamping his puppies no matter who he is bred to.  At over 10 years old he was a young senior who still never missed a beat in the show ring.  His good health, conformation, tightly line-bred pedigree and temperment have made him the most integral part of continuing that "My-Sam" dog.  Sadly, and very suddenly we recently lost our beloved Mickey.....his legacy will live on in his children and grandchildren.  We are blessed to have plenty of frozen semen stored on this very special boyand his gorgeous young son Robbie at home....we hope to see some more of his beautiful offspring in the near future.

 

Mickey's daughter "Lily" is following in her father's paw prints, she is Group Placing and also a BEST OF BREED Specialty winner with very limited showing.  Yes, she can beat the boys!!!! Lily will take time off from showing have her second and last litter with Robbie....she will return to the ring in spring 2011 as a veteran.

 

Our youngest bunch of kids are very promising.....Frankie is a massive boy with lots of size and awesome movement.  Unfortunately, due to an injury just after his 2nd birthday, Frankie will not be back in the show ring.  With his size, substance and tightly linebred My-Sam pedigree, Frankie will be a valued part of our breeding program for years to come.  He has already produced a few very promising puppies - including a daughter going BOSS at the National Specialty 2010.  Callie  finished her championship, with limited showing and we will breed her sometime at the end of  2010 and 2011.  Callie is such a well made substantial girl with tons of personality - we can't wait to see what she does next.  Robbie has just started his show career and is well on his way to hopefully be our  next "specials" dog - he finished very quickly with several BOB from the classes and was already multiple group placing at just a year old.  We will continue to show him every once in a while for fun until he is mature and ready to be actively shown in 2011.   He has also finished his Grand Championship!!!  Following in her parents winning  footsteps is Robbie and Lily's daughter, Gracie...our little miracle continues to make us proud in the show ring and at home. Gracie finished her championship quickly at just 10 months of age from the Bred By Exhibitor class and has already started on her Grand Championship with 2 major wins her first weekend as a special -- with thanks to Grandma Lisa for handling her. Her second weekend out she earned her 3rd major win for her Grand Championship.  This beautifully typee girl has yet to show us what she can do. 

 

In December 2010 Callie blessed us with 4 lovely puppies...Richie, Raven and Dooley have all been pointed at just 6 months old.   Raven took a major her second time out.  More to come on these babies....

 

Winston, Frankie's sire, celebrated his 11th birthday in June 2010 and is enjoying the good life.  For health reasons he was neutered but is doing great and is happy and healthy for an old man.  Luckily we have frozen and will hopefully see a few more litters from this big sweet boy.
