When "Mattie" was born, we fell instantly in love.  She was a quiet bundle of mahogany and white fur and she oozed "high society"  At six months old, Mattie was WB and BOS at her first two shows.  She took her next five points owner handled (and believe me, that was quite a feat for Mattie!).

Manhattan took some time off to grow up and she is now out seeking those very elusive majors to finish her championship.  Keep checking the site - we hope to update you shortly when Mattie finishes, and then let you in on her next adventure as she looks to pass on her "couture style and dazzling charm" to the next generation.

After a lengthy hiatus (almost 2 years) from the show ring, Mattie returned in 2006 with handler and friend, Danielle Malcolm.  She singled our quickly and took her first major shortly thereafter, but pinning down that last major proved a challenge.  Mattie remained constantly in the hunt for the points (16 reserves to majors and 8 points earned to broken majors), so we took to heart what we were told by the judges: "Exquisite type; breathtaking mover!" and let Mattie continue to do her thing.  After two more reserve placements to 4-point majors at the tough Mission Circuit, Mattie took her finishing major the following weekend.  And to make Mattie's championship even sweeter - Mattie secures her mother Makita's ROM title.
