Niosa is a sweet, happy little girl who is out of a litter sired by our TIto. She looks a lot like her Dad, and shares with him the Belton patterning seen in her coat. Often called "ticking", the Belton areas have flecks of black hair growing on the white field of coat. As the coat grows into a mature Havanese coat, these will gro into lengthwise "streaks" of black coat growing on the white background. The effect is lovely. If you were to shave Niosa down, you would see black "freckles" on her skin where the black pigmented specks grow in the midst of the white coat - almost like a Dalmation. She measures 10 3/8" at the withers with a lovely rise to her topline.

Niosa began her show career as a puppy and now has 4 majors to add to her accomplishments. She started out with a bang by taking her first major from the 6-9 puppy class on her first time out in the show ring. Handled by Lois Demers, Niosa took Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite at the Mid-Continent Kennel Club of Tulsa under judge Nancy Smith Hafner (click here for photo). On Niosa's second weekend out on the show circuit, she went Winners Bitch/Best of Winners/Best of Opposite to pick up her second major win under judge Janet Allen Jacobsen. On her third weekend out, Niosa picked up two more major wins. First she took Winners Bitch, Best of Winners and Best of Opposite at the Trinity Valley Kennel Club show under judge Joesph Joly III (click here for photo). Then she repeated the performance with the exact same results at the Collin County Kennel Club show under judge Michael Heflin. We would like to thank all of these judges for finding Niosa in their rings and as always are so pleased with Lois DeMers for her excellent care and handling of our dogs.

We are so proud of Niosa's start and are looking forward to watching her finish her AKC championship in the same grand style! Many thanks to Joan Little, Niosa's breeder, for allowing this adorable girl to join our family here with her sire at Tejano!
