Venado
International (UCI) Champion Shefaro Venado Anubis
Tracy Ward, California
This is how it all began. Elia had a litter of nine puppies that were born November 4, 2001 at Shefaro. Venado is pictured with siblings, Casanova, Tuxedo, Rodrigo, Panda, Zoie, Smirnoff, Tatiana and Mikhail.
It's amazing how they change and grow in just a little over two weeks.

Venado left home June 11, 2002, for Wisconsin where he will join his other mother, Karrie Stevenson, and begin his show career. Here he is playing showdog with friend Amanda. A natural show dog, Venado is just a perfect Shefaro puppy boy.

His first show was Paper Cities on June 29, 2002, where he won his first point by going Winners Dog from 6-9 puppy class. Judges commented that Venado needs to get used to having his picture taken on the platform. He will be up there a lot!!!!! Nice start Venado and Karrie.
They went to Canada: July 5th, WD, BOB over the special, July 6th, WD, July 7th WD, pulled him on the 8th due to judge change.
