Bramerita Chihuahuas

BrameritaBramerita

The affix BRAMERTITA was owned by Bob and Rita Brampton (Shelda's parents) in the early 60s and 70s.
Shelda was always involved with the dogs and in 1975 aged 14 she judged for the first time, in 1977 She owned her first Champion, Ch Bramertita Easter Bunny.

In 1989 Rita died and the affix Bramertita was no longer.
Shelda at this time was raising a family but never lost contact with the dog world, she judged occasionally and stewarded at the local open shows, and became involved with Akitas and Rottweilers. However she never owned another chihuahua until 1995. With her husband Kevin they asked the kennel club if they would reinstate the affix Bramertita ... they refused but after much correspondence they agreed to Bramerita which was wonderful as this spelling actually became a living tribute to Rita.

The Bramerita success is mostly due to dedication, sleepless nights and hours of endless car driving.
Influences and knowledge come a lot from Rita, (Sheldas late mother),

However Bill and Sylvia Stevenson (Apoco Deodar) where real icons. Many kennels have influenced their kennel including Yeosinga, Widogi, Amichis, Meonshore and Cheveraz all great kennels that have been admired and had some of the very best of the best

Bob Brampton, famous International Judge and President of Latvian Kennel Club, Shelda's father has also played a part. His endless and doubtless encouragement through the best and the bad times, and his advice on every matter has always been listen too .......alltough not always taken. Thank you Dad.

Francis Yeoh and Brian Leonard also need to be thanked as they was the only Top kennel that would sell a bitch to Shelda upon her return to Chihuahuas .
And the family play a huge part too.

Playing with puppies, helping during whelpings and taking charge in their absence.
A true team effort, parents, grandparents,good friends and understanding bank manager.
