ABOUT ME:

My name is Veronica McKelvie and I am a Registered Exhibitor and Breeder with Dogs West and  "Dogs Australia" formerly Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC)  of both long and smooth coated Chihuahua's.

My aim at CHINTARO is to breed and exhibit (and my passion is showing!) healthy, sound, well bred, correct dogs with great temperaments for the show ring.   Here at Chintaro our goal is always about improving the breed! 

To help accomplish this I have already imported dogs with beautiful linage from the United Kingdom, Europe and across the pond - (New Zealand) to meet my own set criteria.

I belong to many clubs and at this time am actively involved on the committee of the WA Chihuahua Club as Vice President (2022) as well as being the Secretary of the National Chihuahua Council (of Australia)- NCC since December 2018 - current.

When I first started out showing I was lucky enough to meet a group of gentlemen, who turned out to be my first mentors and biggest support!  

I will be forever thankful to Aristic Kennels.  Paul Low, Robert Kennedy and my dearest Clint Hudson!  They are no longer friends but family.  

I hope you enjoy your visit, and feel free to send me an email.  I am always open to answering any questions in regards to this wonderful breed!
