Wendy
Paquette & Richard Paquette
have been involved in purebred dogs for almost 50
years. We began our careers in dogs with primarily
Shih Tzu, but along the way we have owned and bred
Samoyeds, Afghans, Salukis, Whippets, Brussels Griffon,
Maltese, Pekingese, Lakeland Terriers and Wire Fox
Terriers.
Shih Tzu
are our main breed and we have produced over 300 Canadian
Champions, 125 American Champions, 12 different Best
In Show winners and 8 National Specialty winning dogs.
Our Shih Tzu, Chase, Am Can Ch Wenricks Chassen Rainbows is
in the pedigree of many top winning dogs from around the world. Our most recent
star has become one of the Worlds most famous and titled Shih Tzu. He is Woody,
BIS/BISS World, INT CAN AM MED IT POL LUX Ch of the Americas World and International
Champion Wenricks Hollywood Hit. Selena, Can Am Ch Wenricks
Sweet Surrender finished her American Championship in style by going Best Of
Winners at the American Shih Tzu Club National Specialty in Orlando Florida in
2001. "Selena" had an exciting year in 2002. She began by winning Best
of Breed at the prestigious Westminister Kennel Club show at Madison Square Gardens
in New York City. She followed this up with Best of Breed at the Twin Cities
Specialty in Minnesota and an Award Of Merit at the American Shih Tzu Club National
Specialty in St. Louis MI. In Canada "Selena" was the number one Shih
In Canada for 2002 with 5 All Breed Best In Shows and Best of Breed at the Canadian
Shih Tzu Club National Specialty. "Selena's" win at the Garden and
her # 1 ranking in Canada marked the first time in decades a "Bitch" has
won these awards.
We are now retired professional dog handlers, a profession that we enjoyed for
15 years. During this time we finished over 500 champions in 80 different breeds
and won over 150 All Breed Best in Shows on 16 different breeds. We also owned
and piloted a Lakeland Terrier, Danny, Am Can Bda Ch Jamelyns
Second Edition to #1 All Breeds, a Pekingese, Bingo, Can Am Ch Rodaris
Aces High to # 2 All Breeds, and bred and owned the Best In Show winning Pekingese
Ch. Wenricks Jokers Wild.
We have
served on the executive of All Breed and Specialty
breed clubs. We have been honored with life memberships
in the Canadian Kennel Club, the Sudbury & District
Kennel Club and the Canadian Shih Tzu Club. We have
also been awarded an Honourary Membership in the Canadian
Professional Handlers Association.
Wendy and Richard are both CKC
Licensed judges and are founding members of the
Canadian Dog Judges Association (CDJA). We are also
members of the American Dog Judges Association. (ADJA).
In addition to Canada and the USA, we have judged
