Welcome to Pearl's homepage. Pearl is a japanese chin, and comes from the DoubleTree lines, owned by Brad Jenkins (a well-known AKC judge and breeder). She descends from the famous chins of Touche. Pearl's breeder is Jolynn Archer from Texas. Pearl became an AKC champion as of April 11th 2003! She is 1 year and 2 months old. Her formal name is now AKC CH. MIKADO CHIN NAK's SHINJU-KA. She won a 5 -point major at the Northern California Japanese Chin Fanciers Specialty Show today in Sacramento, going Best of Breed over 4 Champions, and winning a whole bagful of "loot" to herself. I am so elated with this win because I handled her myself today, and I do happen to be a competely novice handler having just started last August. I want to thank Jolynn for letting me have Pearl and her support, and Brad for his encouragement. I also want thank my friend, Trudie Rossi, for one-week crash course for Pearl, and her advice, as well as Tammy Rutter and Lois Thomas (Aikou Pekes) for showing Pearl to 2 majors. Last but not least, special thanks go to Joe, my fiance, who happens to be Pearl's number 1 fan (and slave in the house) for his love and support. (More pictures of the Nor-Cal specialty and Pearl to come). I do not have the time to completely revise this webpage, so please bear with this half-constructed site for now. I plan to eventually compile a picture archive for Pearl showing how she has changed over the course of 1 year. Japanese chins metamorphosize, just like papillons. In the meantime, please visit her picture gallery.
Here are some recent pictures of Pearl at 10 months old. I think she looks very much like her grandfather CH. Acceber's Tennessee Tuxedo. She is now 5 and half pounds and probably won't grow any bigger. More pictures of Pearl at 1 year old (taken during the Golden Gate Kennel Club show on Feb 1st 03). |
