Is top winning Affenpinscher 2012
In 1997 we decided to look for another Toy Breed to show, we chose The Affenpinscher (German Monkey Dog) and bought our first from Toni Teasdale (Tonsarne), Tonsarne Brandubh with Riogaioch (Sparky). This scruffy little dog was such a delight we bought his half brother Kilbarchan's Titlemouse for Riogaioch (Archie) from Helen Moffatt (Kilbarchan's).
In 1999 we were able to buy a 7 month old female puppy from Wendy Boorer (Furstin) Furstin Foreign Fancy for Riogaioch (Charlotte) Charlotte won Riogaioch its first RCC. In the summer of 1999 Jess Gruninger (Darkle) offered us the lovely Darkle Debutante for Riogaioch (Topsy),
Topsy was a proven brood and in Dec 1999 she produced the first litter
for Riogaioch, the puppy we kept became our first Champion, Ch Riogaioch Festival (Grace)
Following on from our success with Grace came her daughter Esme, Ch. Riogaioch Illusion JW Top Affenpinscher 2006 multi BISS winner.
In 2006 Dr Mhairi Brown (Orlock) asked if I would like to have a litter from Orlock Oltania with Riogaioch (Fru) as a joint venture, from this litter we had the lovely Ch. Mimosa of Riogaioch JW (Mimi). We also jointly own Orlock Christabell with Riogaioch (Christabell) and Ch. Riogaioch Voo Doo at Orlock (Mira), so in 2008 we decided to take out a separate interest in the Brandubh affix (held by Lauren Pirrie).
2010 we made up a new Champion,
Ch. Riogaioch Voo Doo at Orlock (Mira)
co-owned with Mhairi Brown
