If Sophie could live in a world with just her and me, she would. She has the most loving nature, and is a dream to live with.

Sophie and her mum Poppy, are constant companions, and you will always find them curled up together. She even allows little sister 'Holly' to join in on cuddles.

13 Feb 2005 Sophie was awarded "Best Of Group" under Shih Tzu Breed Specialist Ted Pickering from Australia, at the Gore & District Ch Allbreeds Show. Mr Pickering made the comment that she was just beautiful, and could see many traits in her that reminded him of his 'Oliver' (Ch Erintoi Yankee Storm, who won 47 Best In Show awards)

Sophie is the daughter of our gorgeous foundation bitch, Poppy (NZ Ch Nzinga Southern Belle)

Sophie's first weekend in the show ring saw her win 2 x Baby Puppy In Show Allbreeds. She also won 'Best Bitch' at these shows, but from the Baby Puppy class, she was too young to get the cc's.

Sophie went on to gain her title with ease, along the way winning "Best Puppy In Show Allbreeds" and numerous "Age Class in Show" awards.

Sophie has "MULTI BEST IN SHOW" awards, and "MULTI Res BEST IN SHOW" awards at Allbreeds Ch Shows, to her credit.
