This trip to Tulsa for the Chihuahua Regional and National Specialty was something I’ll never forget. It was full of emotions, beautiful moments, and warm people.
I showed my sweet boy
CH Valentino Malkhanorah
and standing in the ring with him made me feel so proud and thankful for everything we have achieved together. One of the most special moments for me was meeting his breeder, Sandra Ludmir. It felt like a piece of the puzzle finally came together. To meet the person who brought this amazing dog into the world meant a lot to me.
I also made wonderful new friends — Natalia Kriuchkova and Alla from Spain — such kind, warm, and lovely people. I’m truly thankful for the time we spent together, for the conversations, laughter, and shared love for this little but very special breed. I also met many other breeders and handlers in person for the first time. It was so nice to finally talk, smile, and share moments face to face.
A special thank you to Jean Nelson for her wise advice and kind words
— Sometimes a few sincere words can mean a lot, and I’m truly grateful for her warmth, kindness, and guidance. Moments like these remind me how beautiful this community is — full of people who care and lift each other up
The banquet was such a beautiful evening — full of joy, good energy, and a sense of community. I felt surrounded by people who truly love what they do. The whole atmosphere was just amazing — friendly, welcoming, and inspiring.
I came home with a full heart, great memories, and new friendships. I’m very thankful for every person who made this trip so special for me.
