Champion Miramar's Genetic Fantasy, ROM (multiple Best in Show producer)
"BOBBY"
Bobby's pedigree is included in many top and winning Shih Tzu heritages. Bobby was health screened at the earliest possible date and thereafter. Bobby is the sire of the no. 5 all-time top champion producing ASTC Shih Tzu "BIS/BISS Ch. Ista's Wicked Fantasy, ROM, "Bad." More can be found out about Bad on "Our History" page and at his owner's website of Ista Shih Tzu. I proudly owner/handled Bob for most of his championship, including a Best in Specialty Show win. While Bobby is no longer with us, he made a wonderful contribution that will long be remembered. 9/22/90-12/22/06 You can find him behind many beautiful top winning Shih Tzu in the U.S. and abroad today. Shown in the picture to your left by Tammarie Larson to his Best in Show title in Duluth, MN. I will always remember this win and wish to especially thank Tammarie for her beautiful presentation. Bobby sired 24 champions (ASTC HRB).
"Gene"
While Gene is no longer with us, his stamp on our breed will continue through so many winning Shih Tzu. He offered wonderful breed type that we feel is important to preserve. Gene made and is making a wonderful contribution and will always be loved and remembered. You will find my breeding between Gene and Betsy (see Our Girls) in the pedigrees of many Best In Show Shih Tzu and many champions here and around the world. The breedings between this pair served (and is continuing to serve) many serious fanciers as a solid foundation for their breeding programs. The breeding of Gene and Betsy (a Bobby granddaughter) can be found in every Fantasy Shih Tzu! Sired 8 champions (ASTC HRB)

AKC BISS CHAMPION PMT Fantasy's Rico Suave
Ch. Fantasy's 'Fire' Dragon congratulates his fourth champion, third champion son and champion producer Rico.
Rico finished his championship on 8/16/08 at 13.5 mos. of age. He was owner-handled to two specialty point wins, a Best In Specialty Show (BISS) to accumulate a total of 10 points. His professional handler Diane Ehricht showed him at the ASTC National Specialty prior to his championship campaign to win his sweepstakes class and very nice placement in the regular classes, then finished him for us in Mississippi winning three of three days in a row to include his last major.
