CH MUHLIN MONOPOLY Before he retired from the specials ring, "Buzz" had been awarded multiple Specialty Bests in Show, three All Breed Bests In Show, and numerous group wins. He will always remain in Herb and Erna Holcombe's names while living here with his first "mamma". To date he has sired 22 champions (and was awarded Sire of Distinction status by The Pekingese Club of America several years ago at champion child number 12), most notably the Holcombe's own homebred multiple Best In Show winner, Ch Linn-Lee's St. Martin. The only concession Buzz has made (and of course he had no say in the matter) to achieving "senior citizen" status was to receive a major haircut! Blessedly, the shorter "do" has only made it easier to see how properly he is made and how beautifully he still moves.
AM PHIL GR CH YAKEE YEARN FOR ME "Adam" had a brief but exciting show career, capped by gaining his American title with a Specialty BIS from the 6-9 mo. puppy class. He is co-owned with good friend and Pekingese collaborator, Dr. Raymundo W. Lo. During the year he spent with Ray, he gained his Philippine Grand Championship and became the first Pekingese in thirty-five years to be awarded an all-breed BIS there!! He has just gone back to Manila with Ray after having spent two years here with us again. His daughters from Ch Royal's Shimmering Stardust are both well on their way to their championships as puppies ( Muhlin Dust Bunny has 6 points, including her first major and Royal's Sweeter than Sugar has 10 points, including both majors), and Lucy (Ch Muhlin Bo Peep) was bred to him just before he went with Ray!
AM PHIL CH MUHLIN MOLOTOV After letting us know in no uncertain terms as a puppy that he did NOT like dog shows (the word "catatonic" came to mind), Boomer was "retired" after his first weekend out and allowed to simply grow up. Much later he was brought back out and completed his Philippine championship in short order as an adult. He is now with good friend Betty Claire Peacock, who has already finished him with four major wins! If early results are an indication of what is to come, we feel Boomer has much to contribute as a sire. We are very pleased with his first children and they finished easily. His daughter, Ch. Muhlin Floradora may be seen under the "Our Girls" tab (she completed her title shown entirely in the Bred-by-Exhibitor class), and his son, Ch. Muhlin Buzzword of Dreamville ("Hurly"), is pictured on our "Extended Family" page. Co-owner Ray Lo also has a lovely daughter, Phil Hall of Fame Gr Ch Dreamville Black Cherry, who has had an exciting show career (including a Reserve Best in Show) thus far.
"Dante" at eight months
and at a year
CH
MUHLIN CONFIDANTE Dante is beautiful, correct AND a riot. After beginning his show career liking everything about shows but moving around inside the ring with his tail over his back, he finished basically in two weekends with four majors as soon as he figured things out. I have high hopes that he'll also be exciting as a producer.
"Butchie" at not quite two....
AM PHIL GR CH MUHLIN ADAMANT OF DREAMVILLE
Ch Muhlin Doo Wah at 2 months
By: Ch Muhlin Monopoly ROM, SOD Ex: Ch Muhlin Bibelot Doo Wah is, like his parents, very self-assured and quite often stubborn. He also has a very well-developed sense of humor and he keeps us smiling. We are pleased with the way he is maturing and we are looking forward to seeing his children!
By: Am Phil Grand Ch Dreamville Duke Ellington Ex: Ch Muhlin Dust Bunny Surprise . . . a particolor!! Fizz is from Bunny's first litter and he has kept us shaking our heads and smiling. As a youngster, he had what we would call a "short fuse" (hence his call name), protecting his toys and meals from real and imagined interlopers. As he has grown up, however, he has left that behavior behind and seems to have replaced it with a wonderfully silly sense of humor. He has his first six points toward his title, but he is such a character that we really don't care whether he gains his title or not.
