BRONZE, CAC, UCICB CHAMPION

July, 2006: Tia wins Super Dog at the first annual SWD Jamboree (highest accumulated points from all competitions)

October, 2005: Tia earns her CAC and becomes a Bronze Champion.

August, 2003: Tia earns her International Championship through German-based IABCA (International All-Breed Canine Association) in association with Union Cynologie International e.V.

In this type of show, each judge gives a written critique of the dog against its breed standard before competing against the other dogs in its class. Below are the judge's comments earned by Tia.

US/Canadian Judge Virginia Lyne said of Tia, "This dog epitomizes everything the breed should be."  I was particularly flattered after seeing Ms. Lyne judging at Westminster the following season.
