Grand Champion Vaquera's Cleopatra Queen of the Nile

"Cleo" was Vaquera's first champion bred-by and remains as the house matron. She decided when she was going to retire from the show ring but finished her Grand Champion before becoming the boss of the pack. Cleo was the dam of Vaquera's Answer To A Maiden's Prayer a Bronze Grand Champion stud.

"Bachelor" is not only beautiful but was the best natured Mini on the planet. During his show career he was able to obtain his Bronze Grand Champion and now lives the good life in the mountains of North Carolina.

"Skipper" had a wonderful disposition. Out of foundation bloodlines from Cattle Call he did us proud by finishing his Bronze Grand Champion along with a rally title. Sadly, we lost him in 2023 to a bizarre health problem but before he left us he was able to give us a wonderful daughter "Willow" along with another champion female.

"Swagger" was our foundation stud dog purchased from Alta in Canada. He was one of a few dogs to receive his Certificate of Merit before full recognition by AKC and then proceeded to finish his Championship after recognition making him a double champion. He has sired multiple champions and grand champions and continues to contribute to the breed at 11 years old.

"Eve" was a female bred at Vaquera's who surprised us all. She was the puppy no one wanted and showed against her sister Mattie. She was a group placer and finished her career to come home and be a mother halfway to her Bronze. Eve is the dam of Grand Champion Vaquera's Unmistakenly Sensuous.

"Mattie" was bred by Vaquera's. She became a Westminster placer and was the youngest female to finish her Gold at 22 months. She is still listed as one of the all time best females in the breed. Mattie sired multiple champions.

"Catch" was an all around stunning puppy who took our breath away. Small, compact, and structurally sound - every breeder's dream. He produced outstanding puppies and was always the happy go lucky teenager.
