Wanda

A & A's Phantom in the Dressing Room, "Wanda" to her people, is a long coat Chihuahua with a rare kind of presence. Co-owned with Shawne Imer and campaigned by handler Mauricio Vargas Miranda, she reads every ring like a stage and hits her mark every time.

At home, she shares her couch with a pack of Cane Corsos, which tells you everything about her. Four pounds of sass, unbothered. Named with a knowing wink at the theatrical, and she's lived up to every bit of it, and then some.

Currently the #3 Long Coat Chihuahua in the United States, Wanda is the result of a breeding program built on structure, health, and long-range planning. Everything about her (type, movement, temperament) is what we are working toward as breeders.

“Stunning from the side, very pretty.”

Mr. William Billy Miller, Mason and Dixon Kennel Club, April 2025
