Altina Toy Dogs started 25 years ago when I started with a Yorkshire Terrier named Amber.I showed yorkies with  many of my dogs winning.RCCs,JW.and BOB at Paighton with Velvet China Blue at Altina,also Best Puppy at Crufts with Altina's Slave Master.

 

In 1991 I purchased Gogo, a Pomeranian brood bitch from the Veltuds kennel for my daughter Miranda to show in junior handling, and thus the bug of owning Pomeranians began !

 

Gogo was a beautiful pom but was a little too big for championship shows so i purchased a dog Veltuds Teddy Boy at Altina at that time i was given Teddy's mother who had never been shown. At her first show Nono (Thelbern Nono Nannette) won Post Grad,Limit,and Bitch CC and then BOB. I then won 2 RCCs with her. At Crufts 1995 Nono won the Bitch CC and BOB. She was made up that year,she also won the Bitch CC at Crufts 1996. She finished with 5 CCs and 5 RCCs.  She took her last RCC at 11 years of age.  My next Champion was Veltuds Eros at Altina,who had 4 CC and 3 RCC. My first home bred Champion was Champion Altina's Apollo he won 4 CC and 4 RCCs, also his JW.SHCM - the first Pom to win this award.  My next Champion was Altina Selene 4 CC 5 RCC,who also had her JW.SHCM.

 

I have had several dogs who nearly got their championship,including Veltuds Eyecatcher at Altina (2 CCs) and Veltuds Kentucky Gold at Altina 2 CC and

2 RCCs.JW.SHCM - Kenny is still being shown. I am also showing Altina's  Andromeda who has won 1CC and 2 RCCs JW SHCM .  Annie also won the Toy Puppy Group at Bournemouth Championship Show 2007.

 

My new puppy dog Altinas Silver Phoenix has won 6 first at championship show plus many BP.Puppy Groups at open show level .

 

 

Their are many of my dogs out there being shown by their owners winning at championship level. My daughter Miranda is just coming back into the show scene by showing Altinas Spirit of Apollo - first show East of England Championship show 2008.

 

Grandaughter Lauren has a keen interest in dog showing and at the age of 7 (at her second show) she qualified for Richmond junior handling semi finals showing Ch Altina's Apollo.
