GENERAL INFORMATION :

I ´m the third generation in the Pure breed Dog´s Sport.My grandfather used to practice Hunting with his sporting dogs on his native Spain (Irish Setters, Pointers, English Cocker Spaniels).My Mother had always English cockers and Labrador Retrievers at home, and I grew up between them since I was born.Our kennel name, EASTMAN´S had bred more than 130 Champions Worldwide in several breeds.Since I was a kid, I remember been at dog shows for the weekends, but I didn´t start showing dogs until I was 16 at a Labrador specialty where we won Best Male and Best bitch, so our Handler didn´t have an extra hand to take the bitch in for Best of Breed, so I was forced to show her.After that I started to get more and more involve on showing dogs, and later, when I started to develope my handling skills, I started to show for friends and then clients .We finish over 30 Labradors Retrievers in Chile, plus the first chilean born Labrador to become American Champion, and one Japanese Champion, 4 Argentinian champions, 4 Paraguayan Champions, 3

Uruguayan Champions, Multiple Speacialty Winners and Group winners on Several countries.By 1996 I started to develope some interest in Terriers, and I bought my first Show qualtiy Scottish terrier the same year.I was very lucky to get a very good specimen, so I won several BIS and Groups with my dog on a very “basic” trimming and grooming as nobody tough me how to do it properly, and there was no way to learn the technyques on my country at the time.I decide to improve my handling and trimming skills , so I went to Los Angeles , California to work and learn with Gabriel Rangel during the weeks while I was living there for 3 month during the Holidays that I had at the University while I was studing.I came back home with a Top Scottish terrier who was BIS winner in the US and was retired from showing at the time.I lease the dog for a year, and I make him champion in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Peru , plus Number 1 Terrier in the Country and number 6 All Breeds that year.I went back to the US to return the dog, and I stayed 3 more months there working for Mr. Larry Cornelius & Mr. Davin Mc Ateer in Florida. At the time they were a very successful couple of All Breeds Handlers , but they also showed a good amount of Top terriers , so my time there was very productive.I did great contacts and I meet some top breeders in the US.The next year I was focus one learn more about Sealyhams and Kerry Blue Terriers, so I went to Philadelphia to work and learn from Mrs Margery Good, one of the most well known Sealyham breeders in the country , and well known Terrier handler as well .I stayed there for 3 months and I got the chance to purchase my first Sealyham terriers from Canada.

The following year I went to work with Mrs Tracy Tzaras & Mr Lance Deloria, today well known by their “Delzar Lakeland Terriers” winners of the BIS at Montgomery County 2004.With them I improved my trimming skills on Wire fox Terriers, Airedale Terriers, Lakeland terriers, Soft Coated Wheaten terriers, Welsh terriers, Smooth fox Terriers and some other breeds .I must confess one of the biggest proffits of being working in the US for a while it the people that you had meet, and the contacts that you had made.That opens to you a whole new World and helps you in the future giving you the chance to purchase and buy some very good dogs from Top kennels as they had meet you before and know the kind of work that you do.Also, you meet on a daily basis a good number of Judges from all over the country , and that gives you the chance to know what they normally look for on a specific breed , or how they like you to show under them.While I was living in the US , I started to be in touch with a good friend of mine who was Top handler in Brazil at that moment, and he invited me to work in partnership with him in Brazil .I didn´t think twice and we meet and did the final arrangements at the World show in Oporto, Portugal.After that I went back to the US and then to work in Brazil.We worked togethere very successfuly, handling a good amount of Top dogs for clients from Brazil, USA,latin America and Europe.Been there I handle my Norwich terrier dog to number 7 All Breeds, and we put over 15 Best In Shows wins and 60 Groups first during his show career in Brazil.I stayed there for almost 2 years and then I returned back to Chile to work here on my family bussiness .In the mean while I had being showing my own dogs in latin America, US,Asia and Europe.Every year I try to go to Montgomery County wich is the biggest Terrier Specialty in the US .At least once a year to europe to see and participate at some big shows like the Eurodog Show, or championship show in the UK.

On 2005 I went to Cruft with my Norwich Terrier dog and got Reserve Ticket at the competitive Open Class, been beat just by the Best of Breed dog who was on the same class.We also won the BIS at the Norwich terrier Club Annual Show in Sweden, and we were Number one Norwich of the year on 2005.Also won the breed at the Eurodog Show in Barcelona 2005, and multiple group winner in Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar the same year.I had breed or own over 100 terriers Champions in countries such Sweden(1), Spain(2), Gibraltar(2), Portugal (1), France (2),USA(15 homebreds , including winners at Specialties and Group Winners),Canada(1),Mexico(3), Cuba (1), Costa Rica (2), Colombia(5), Venezuela(3), Ecuador (3), Peru(5),Paraguay(6),Uruguay(7), Argentina (9), Brazil(2), Japan (1), Corea(1), Thailand(2) and of course Chile (45) where I don´t show as much my dogs(I preffer to focus on the international shows in the US,Europe and Asia.)They had reached the highest awards like Best in Shows, Best in Specialty Shows (including the US) and multiple group wins all over the World.Handling dogs I had the chance to show and win in countries like :USA,Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela,Ecuador, Brazil, Peru, Paraguay, Argentina,Uruguay,Spain, Gibraltar, Portugal, France, Holland,Sweden,Denmark ,Finland,Italy,India, Thailand, Singapore and The UK.I have done grooming and trimming Seminars about “How to groom and condition a Terrier for Show” in several countries as: Venezuela (invited by the “Merida Terrier Club”), Colombia (invited by the “Medellin kennel Club”)Ecuador,and I

ABOUT MYSELF:

-I love all kind of dogs , but I must confess terriers are my passion.They are so much fun to live with , and nothingh compares to a Well conditioned dog with the right Terrier Spirit! No wonder why they are such a big winners all over the Dog World history(terriers had won the BIS at Westminster and Cruft more times than any other breeds).That is a fact!Terriers are like a Religion, and you must spend part of your time working on them to reach the best results.-I like to travel (with or with out dogs) and see different places and dog Show Scenes.Travel gives you a more “Global View” of the Dog World, and helps you open your mind about where good dogs and breeders are.Not all the Best breeders are located in America or Europe based on my travelling experience.There are good ones everywhere, and you won´t be able to meet them if you don´t travel away from the places that you normaly visit.-Day by day the Global net allowed us to exchange and import dogs from abroad to improve what we have.It is the key to succeed have right contacts and know the right people to bring the best dogs into our breeding program.Conections and cooperation between breeders Wordwide are today more important that they ever were.
