In November, 2007 Diva become the first ever Chinese Crested to earn a place in the USDAA CynoSports World Games, held in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Click on the following images to see a couple of photos of Diva.

Diva was purchased from Debbie Rasberi of Rasberi's Chinese Cresteds , I had read a lot about the breed, and after handling Snowbird (thanks to Alicia Ward, Vogue Cresteds for entrusting her with me), and doing well in agility, I decided I wanted one of these precious, elegant athletic dogs for myself.

 

OFA ELBOWS                  OFA HIPS Diva has a CERF (2004) and is scheduled for another one early next (2007) year.  Since she is spayed, I am not doing yearly CERF's on her.  I will get more blood for the Optigen clinic when she has her knee surgery (I just hate sticking her). Diva has a medial & lateral patella on her left and right knees.  Her left one is worse, and we will be doing knee replacement surgery on her November 13th 2007.  Her right one will also be fixed a little way down the line, at this point it is not continuously slipping like her right. Go to the NEWS page to find out more about Diva's recovery. Between Diva's skin condition, her chiropractor and her knees, this dog is my $12,000 bionic dog.  Once again, even though I did the research, I trusted what come out of her breeders mouth, big mistake, and one that I am paying for with cash, and unfortunately Diva pays for with pain.  If you are considering one of these dogs, please feel free to contact me, because I have learnt over time which breeders CAN be trusted, which breeders DO test completely and which breeders truly do care about the breed, and not just blowing their own horns.
