Hey all! My name is Kate and I live in Cyprus. My mum and I are both obssessive dog people who show, breed and just love dogs. We used to have a rather large kennel of Sharpeis and Chinese Cresteds (before that we had Boxers and American Bulldogs) but after our beloved dog Shelby (amazing dog, I honestly never saw such grace and beauty in a Sharpei) died, we quit the Sharpeis. We had the cresteds for quite a bit, but recently my dog, Twiggi, died of kidney failure. She was the first dog to have crested puppies in CY, and the first crested on the shows. Thanks to her, the island is now well populated with this stunning breed.
Recently, we brought a full grown, show class miniature poodle, Massimo (aka Max). Now my mother is all loved up and wants another one, but I'm insisting on a Russian Toy Terrier (a girl gotta have a handbag dog, eh?lol). We also have a Chinese Crested girl, Ha Bibi (my darling in arabic) nicknamed Biba or Phoebe (yes, after Phoebe of the Friends series, lol).

Love your user name, but of all the breeds you mentioned, I don't know much about any except the boxers and Sharpeis. Of the others, I hope that you can talk more and teach me something. Hope you like this forum, I know that I do!!:smile:

Hello nice to meet you.
