2018 in Review

2018 was a difficult year, marked by an incredible loss for our family and breeding program as we said good-bye to Wendy. Her death was devastating on so many levels and even today is difficult to contemplate.  It is not surprising then that Amanda didn't make it too many shows this year, although trips to the World Dog Show in Amsterdam and the US National in Kentucky did provide some wonderful memories and much-needed opportunity to connect with wonderful friends. 

Despite the lull in showing, the black and tans couldn't be held back completely and our wonderful owners, co-owners and co-breeders continued to do wonderful things that would have made Mom so very proud.  From two #1 dogs in two different countries (Go, Buzz and Maybe!!!) to Best in Show, Specialty and Puppy in Show wins as well as group wins and placements in several countries around the world, she would have been so proud of the legacy she has left. In honour of these dogs and their owners, I have continued our yearly tradition of recognizing their accomplishments and send huge thanks to all involved for their hard work, dedication and love. Your accomplishments have often provided a reason to smile on an otherwise dark day, and I am very grateful.

As we turn toward 2019 with hope for a better year in our hearts, hug your loved ones (two and four-legged) close.

Hugs,
Amanda
In loving memory

Wendy Kelly

1949 - 2018
In 2018, we said good-bye to Wendy -- the heart and soul of Fwaggle Toy Manchesters.  A beloved wife, mother, friend and mentor to many, her influence was and continues to be felt by Toy Manchester Terrier breeders around the world. 

Our family is grateful for the incredible support we received from our dog family and friends during the difficult months before and after her death. We were deeply touched by the dozens of cards she received from around the globe, by several beautiful tributes made at the American National Specialty and by the many donations made in her memory.  In total, more than $2,000 was donated to the Canadian Manchester Terrier Club's Health Committee in recognition of Wendy's love for her breed. These funds will be used to support important research and breed preservation activities.

Moving forward, Fwaggle breeding activities will be quite limited but we are comforted by the fact that Wendy's legacy will live on in the many beautiful descendants of dogs she lovingly ushered into the world.

In his first year showing as an adult, this young dog was awarded over 30 Group placements, including 10 Group 1sts and a Reserve Best in Show.  He also picked up 10 points toward his US championship, including both majors and a lovely win at the AKC National Championship in December. 

Buzz's success is due entirely to the dedication of his trainer and handler Corey Titon and his newest owner and handler, Sydney Robinson.  Looking to the future, Buzz and Sydney will aim to finish his American title with some limited spot showing as we wait patiently for him to mature.

Proud Grandma

We were very proud to see  that 12 Toy Manchesters placing among the Top 10 in their breed had a Fwaggle parent.  As always, we recognize that their accomplishments belong to their breeders and owners alone and we offer all of them sincerest congratulations, but as the amount of breeding I do will be quite limited in future and this may be one of the last years I can't help but be a proud Grandma...
