Description YEP. I show my dogs!

I love showing my dogs and between grooming and showing and taking care of them I don't have much time left for my own stuff.
It's not an excuse for the lack of art for ages, but these last couple of years have been pretty busy for me!
Graduating from university, getting my first job, moving out from parents house, getting pedigree dogs from a friend and being introduced to the world of showing, taking commissions on facebook... it's quite a lot to take in! So yes, I have been and still am kinda busy, so please bear with me, loves <3

Just in case you're curious about my chinese crested puppies <3
Icelord "Kiba" Pedigree
Valentina Pedigree

My other dog Tess lives with my parents but has moved in with me for 3 months in order to loose weight.
She's now perfectly fit and enjoying life as an "only child" like she loves

Aww what a cutie! I'd love to get into showing but all my bbys are rescue mutts...one day ha. CC's are such little characters.

I totally get you, thoughout the years I only had rescues as well. This time I opted to buy purebreds (because of the no-shedding, no-barking, and other characteristics we wanted for a dog) and I wasn't even planning on showing. It just happened and it's really fun!

I'm a german shepherd person, but after dog-sitting a Chinese crested some months ago I decided that I would like to have one when my drive to work my dogs slows down.

My boyfriend is also a GSD person, ehehe, but he hates what is being done to the current show dogs. He only likes the working line dogs.
CCs are a really great breed, I had no idea how awsome they were until I met some!

My newest GSD puppy is czech line. Most GSD fans prefer working lines so your bf has good taste. They're a little more high strung, but hey - who gets a GSD expecting it to be a couch potato? There's a brazilian guy close to where I live who breeds and shows absolutely gorgeous CCs. So I'm pretty sure I know where I'm getting mine from if I decide to do so. Plus, what girl doesn't wanna put cute sweaters on their small dog in colder months (and put cute bows in their ears after getting them groomed)? Can't put sweaters and bows on German Shepherds! xDDD

Oh my, I just googled czech german shepherd and I fell in love. Most are absolutely stunning! Nothing like the show dogs we currently have here in Portugal...
Ahaha, my favorite breed is actually the dobermann, but none of the breeders I found here test for Von Willenbrand's deseases and for me that's a major no-no. If I'm buying a dog, it HAS to be health tested. Also, I'd never crop a dog of mine, but I honestly do not like the natural dobermann look (tail and ears intact). So for that reason I don't think I'll ever get one, unless it's a rescue.

I only got to know the CC breed a couple of years ago, and as soon as I knew some in person I fell in love! Little graceful girlie dogs, I know, but I just love them, eheh xD And they're perfect for apartment living (no shedding + no barking = love).

You can certainly put a bow on a GSD!! XD On teh ear hair, ahahah XDD

Teehee, I like showing, but it's soooo stressful at times that I wish I could get a handler (but I don't trust my babies with anyone). xD
Do you have some photos from dog shows?? I love seeing those!
