My name is Victoria Fricker. I learned about the Maltese in the summer of 2008. Upon visiting Linda McDonald's house with my mother I was able to see the puppies that Linda had. I fell in love with the breed at that moment. I thought they looked like a dog fit for a princess. I had to have one.

I got my first puppy Allegro. Linda discussed the show ring with me and I like to compete so I thought I would try it. I fell in love with the ring and cannot get enough of it. I showed my puppy as soon as he was six months of age during the fall as Chinadoll's Dynamic Allegro. Linda went with me to my first show and I took off from there.

I have met many other wounderfully qualified people that have moved me along in my quest to finish my first dog. I have received much help from Curits Smith and Caryoln Daul-Wood. They have helped me in learning coat care, grooming tips, show top knots and so much more. Linda and Carolyn were so excited when Curtis asked me to be one of his assistants and I was equally excited. Working with Curtis Smith has been fun and exciting and has put me well on my way to becoming a great Maltese handler.

My goals for the near future is to make Allegro a champion and be a professional handler in the long run while maintaining my own Maltese lines with Linda McDonald. I want to thank all of you that have helped me get this far.
