Long Beach 2014 - Photo by Toyomi - Thank you!
This year started off with what has become our annual trip to Palm Springs. Tom and I both enjoy this mini vacation so much, mostly because it is our time to do what we both love and be together at the same time. This year was no exception. We had a great time, just wish that a special someone had not become ill while we were all there together!
Shortly after our wonderful trip, we had some personal tragedies that we had to endure. Sometimes it takes these life events to make us stronger and more determined, but boy are they challenging while one is going through them.
Max, (GCH Bellatak Vallee's Maximum Dream) made his "specials" debut last year at the 2013 HCA National Specialty, in Chicago, IL. Max looked great! It was good experience and a fun time for him. This was the first time he had been in the ring since he finished his championship and he had just turned 1 year old!
Max showed on a very limited basis the rest of 2013 and began 2014 as the Bellatak Special. He went to NYC for the 2014 Westminster and was Best Of Opposite sex, following in his mother & father's footsteps!
Max has continued consistently moving up the Top 20 Breed and All Breed charts in 2014 and as of this writing he is the #5 Breed and All Breed Havanese! This is impressive given he has been shown with a limited budget and very little advertising. It shows what a great example of the breed he really is.
In June 2014 Max was shown at the Vallejo dog show which has come to be known as Woofstock. This was a milestone for me as it was at this show exactly a year ago that he finished his AKC Championship and then this year was awarded a Toy Group 1. Thank you to all the judges that have admired Max and awarded him ribbons for BOB and all the Group placements.
Special thanks to Don & Rebecca, Carole & EJ, Judy & Stephen, & David Murray for your continued support of Bellatak Havanese!!!
