Who is the Texan Gal?

And here's hooman face of Texangals - that’s me, the “Texan” and “gal” who shows, breeds, and advocates for the American Toy Manchester.

The “Texangals” kennel name came out of my early years in the breed when I lived in the UK and bought my first English Toy Terrier. I was referred to as “that Texan gal”, and, having now returned to Central Texas, I’ve been nurturing my line of dogs ever since.

A Texangals dog will be built on a foundation of champions, thorough health testing, and generational improvement to conformation and temperament.

My dogs live in my home; the puppies whelp in my closet; I sleep next to them on a mattress until they get mobile, and when they’re old enough, they have a big pen in the living room where they slot into our daily routines. Puppy Culture, trips to the shops and restaurant patios, socialization classes - every puppy gets treated as though I’m planning to keep it myself.

I have some litters expected in December so we are taking inquiries now. Go to our puppy application on this website where you can use it to register your interest in becoming part of the Texangals legacy.

Texangals Are Expecting!

Bonnie in the Buttercups We're expecting puppies at the end of this month at Texangals in Central Texas. The dam is "Bonnie" (Ch Bluebonnet Dreaming Spires at Texangals), currently #13 TMT in the country, and the sire is "Bentley" (GCH CH Dream Maker's One Sweet Ride At Jhen TKN) who is #7 in breed and #1 in TMT Owner Handler. Bentley Bonnie with her Boy in Junior Showmanship Bonnie is a 3/4 English bitch imported in 2016 who goes back to Amalek lines with Maggical/Rosewood TMT. Bentley also goes back to the English Reeberrich kennel via Velvet Firefly where his lines connect up with Bonnie's. For those of you who don't really care about lineage, the bottom line is that they're very well bred, they are bred with a number of international influences, and as far as temperament, get along well with other dogs, other types of dogs, and children. A number of dogs in Bonnie's line back in England are Pets as Therapy dogs, visit...

Apologies for Radio Silence - May 2023 update

I can't believe that I haven't posted on here since November 2022, and not been bragging from the rooftops that Katie is now the top bitch in the country! We took a big trip up to Pennsylvania in April where not only did Katie grab a Select Bitch, a Best of Variety, and an Owner-Handled Group 1, but she earned enough points to achieve the Silver level of her grand champion title. If you're not a show person yourself, you're probably sort of glazing over - blah blah blah blah. The short version, she's been doing really well in the show ring, and I'm super proud of her. Also at home are my foundation bitch, Bonnie, who is enjoying retirement; Larwood, the boy from England, who finished his championship and has had his first taster of the running event called FastCAT; and Hermia, who is one "major" away from her own championship. Larwood is also going to be a daddy soon, all being well. We bred him to Zoot (who lives with my mom) and are expecting puppies...

Guess the Dog's Name Challenge

It’s the big, big thing on Facebook right now, showing a photo of your dog with another beside it that relates to your dog’s name. I have been wary of joining in: these Facebook things are ways of data gathering, and I’m very suspicious of them. Also, you may be hard-pressed to work out most of mine! So for your viewing pleasure (or not), here is the dog name challenge for Texangals while I’m down to just the three girls.
