Memories
Welcome to our "Walk down Memory Lane" page. Here you will find pics and comments about some of the past dogs that I have bred and/or finished. Dogs that were and are always a part of our lives even if they have passed on to the Rainbow Bridge, they remain with us always in our hearts and in our thoughts.
Chateau Acres Almond Joy left, and CH Chateau Acres Fair Play, right.
JoJo was my very first show dog and went on to become a HOF dam. Cricket was my first Champion, and what a show dog she was! She took group placements and an AOM at the MPCA National in 1995. She was the dam of 1 litter, with one of the pups becoming a Top 20 dog, and a HOF Sire himself.
"Cricket" at 9 years old

CH RisingStar Delightfully Hot, aka Dolly
Dolly was my first homebred Champion. She was linebred on the Chateau Acres line and was a joy to show and live with. She always had a smile for everyone.
BISS CH Sunbrook Red Cloud, HOF Sire
"RC" was the love of my life. This picture was taken when he was in the prime of his life. He was the very foundation of RisingStar. He brought all I was looking for to my lines.
RC in Boise Idaho with me at a show.
CH RisingStar Fun N Games, aka Amy. Amy was one of my first RC kids. She was out of Dolly and RC.
CH RisingStar Claim to Fame, aka J.R. JR was out of my Cricket and RC. He was my favorite RC son. JR is still around and lives with Kathy Helming of Trotwood MinPins. He is a HOF sire himself, just like his Sire. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree.
BISS CH RisingStar Tuckered Out, aka, Tucker. Another
RC son who did so well in the show ring. Tucker was a group winner and multi BISS. Tucker lived with Sheila and Ross Deckert in Colorado.
CH RisingStar One Nite Stand, aka Johnnie. Johnnie was sold to Rosie Jorgensen of Tailsup MinPins. Rosie did an awesome job with him and he was in the Top 10 2 years in a row. He was an awesome example of Minpin attitude and movement. His Dam was JoJo and his Sire was CH Chateau Acres Bound N Determined.
CH RisingStar Perfect Alibi, aka Allie. Allie was a blast to show and to live with. She didnt have a scared bone in her body. She showed at the Portland MPCA National under Annie Clark, and Ms Clark loved her face and her one of a kind cowlick that ran up her nose. We miss her greatly!
