Meet Daiquiri

The Dog That Has 14 Guinness Records

Australian Shepherd (Birth Date: May 8, 2015)

Daiquiri is a true star in the world of dog performance and trick training. His journey to fame began with appearances on America’s Got Talent in 2020 and Canada’s Got Talent in 2021, where he captivated audiences with his incredible talent. But his performances don’t stop there—Daiquiri has represented Canada in K-9 freestyle (Dog Dancing) at the prestigious “Crufts,” the largest dog show in the world, in England in 2022 and 2023. He has been flown around the globe to perform and compete, including to Chile, where he dazzled audiences, and Germany, where he competed in the European Freestyle Championship.

Daiquiri is not only a showstopper, but he is also the proud holder of 15 Guinness World Records for his astounding dog tricks, with plans to break even more records in the future. His accomplishments don’t end with competition—he was featured on the show Dog of the Year, where his incredible skills earned him a special place in the spotlight. Daiquiri even had the honor of traveling to Milan, Italy, where he was a star in a special Guinness World Records show, showcasing his talent to an international audience.

On stage, Daiquiri is a true performer, bringing his unique style to a variety of acts. Whether it’s his mesmerizing magic Warlock act, where he performs mind-blowing tricks, or his incredible balancing acrobatic routine that leaves audiences in awe, Daiquiri never fails to impress. His acts are a testament to his years of training, dedication, and bond with his partner Jennifer.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Daiquiri is a sweet and affectionate dog, with a playful yet calm demeanor that makes him beloved by all who meet him. His name, Daiquiri, perfectly captures his vibrant, yet easy-going nature. He’s the most well-trained and respected dog in Jennifer’s home, and his presence is felt both on stage and at home, where he continues to inspire with his talent.

Jennifer and Daiquiri’s journey together is one of mutual respect, love, and incredible achievement. To see Daiquiri in action is to witness a dog who has truly mastered the art of performance and trick training.

Meet Fabio

Fabio is “Fabulous Darling”

Afghan Hound (Birth Date: July 4, 2018)

Seeking the ultimate challenge, Jennifer brought home a breed famously labeled as “unintelligent” and “untrainable”—the majestic Afghan Hound. Fabio quickly proved the world wrong. With patience, consistency, and expert training, Jennifer demonstrated that it’s not the breed that defines the dog’s potential—it’s the training, the bond, and the belief.

Fabio has earned multiple High in Trial awards in rally obedience and has become a standout in trick training. He’s a regular crowd-pleaser, having performed with both SuperDogs and the Canine Circus—even starring in 20 live productions of the SuperDogs musical in Montreal. With his flowing coat, unique elegance, and unexpected talent, he turns heads wherever he goes.

Fabio didn’t stop there—he made history as the first Afghan Hound ever to compete at Crufts in International Dog Dancing 2024. Performing among 11 of the world’s top Border Collies, he finished in an impressive 5th place, earning admiration from audiences and trainers alike.

Fabio is as independent as his birthday implies (BD: July 4th, 2018), but underneath his regal aloofness is a loyal, clever performer who adores training and showing off his talents—especially for his favourite person, Jennifer. Whether it’s beauty, brains, or breaking barriers, Fabio delivers it all.

Chardonnay

Meet Chardonnay

As Wild As They Come

Australian Shepherd (Birth Date: May 28, 2022)

Chardonnay is a spunky, high-octane Australian Shepherd and the chosen protégé of the legendary Daiquiri. As Jennifer says, there must always be one blue merle in the home—and Chardonnay was born to fill those big, world-record-breaking paws.

Bred by the incredible Ronni of Desert Kingdom Sport Dogz in Arizona (whose book is available on this site), Chardonnay brings brains, beauty, and a whole lot of bounce. She’s everything an Aussie should be: fast, focused (most of the time), and far too clever for the average household.

Chardonnay has already made her mark on the world stage, representing the team on Romania’s Got Talent in 2024, dazzling crowds with the Canine Circus, and earning her first Guinness World Record for the fastest 10-hoop slalom by a dog.

Jennifer and Chardonnay are working on an electrifying LED light show routine, with both outfitted in glowing suits for a visual spectacle unlike anything else. With her boundless energy, talent, and drive, Chardonnay is a rising star you won’t want to miss.

Watch Chardonnay Perform on Romania's Got Talent!

Meet Champagne

A Sweet and Smart Girl

Border Collie (Birth Date: January 13, 2020)

Champagne is Jennifer’s first Border Collie—and what a bubbly burst of brilliance she is! Full of energy and brains to spare, Champagne quickly settled into the fast-paced, fun-filled lifestyle of Jennifer’s household.

She’s known for her hilarious and heartwarming signature howl-bark combo when she gets excited—a sound that’s become a family tradition. “Good thing we live in the country,” Jennifer laughs. “Our neighbours would think we’ve all gone mad howling along with our lovely Champagne!”

Though she’s a bit on the shy side, Champagne has incredible potential. With continued training and encouragement, she’s showing the makings of a true superstar. The whole family is expecting great things from this fun-loving girl as she continues to grow into her skills.

So raise your glass—here’s to Champagne!

Meet Kiwi

Border Collie (Birth Date: December 5, 2022)

Kiwi is a stunning blue merle Border Collie who practically bounces off the ground with enthusiasm and joy. A rescue from Alberta Herding Dog Rescue, Kiwi was sadly abandoned by an owner unprepared for the energy and exercise needs of a high-drive breed like hers. But her story takes a beautiful turn—she found her way into Jennifer’s home, and has been thriving ever since.

Jennifer passionately recommends rescuing dogs whenever you’re looking for a companion and a partner for life. Kiwi’s journey is living proof of the incredible transformation that love, patience, and a second chance can bring.

Though Kiwi has only been part of the family for a short time, it’s clear she was born for the stage. Just days after arriving, she was already dazzling crowds at a Calgary Stampede event, soaking up the love and freedom she so deeply deserved after being caged and discarded.

With one blue eye and one brown, Kiwi is as gorgeous as she is full of life. Her playful, affectionate nature wins hearts everywhere she goes. Despite her short time with Jennifer, she has already performed multiple times and recently applied for her very first Guinness World Record, alongside her teammate Chardonnay. Now we’re just waiting for the official word—because this girl is a star in the making.

Kiwi reminds us all that with the right love and home, any dog can shine.

Meet Twinkie

Pomeranian (Birth Date: May 29, 2024)

Don’t let her tiny size fool you—Twinkie may weigh less than four pounds, but she runs the household like she’s the boss of the big dogs! This sweet little Pomeranian is as adorable as she is fierce, with a heart full of drive and a passion for performing.

Raised alongside Border Collies and Aussies, Twinkie has developed an incredible work ethic and thrives on learning new skills. She’s currently mastering body surfing and has already conquered her ring tricks like a seasoned pro—often outshining her larger castmates on stage! One of her favorite moments is skateboarding through walkarounds, soaking up admiration and love from the crowd.

Twinkie’s journey to Jennifer was nothing short of epic: a plane ride, a midnight car rental and three-hour drive, followed by two more flights just to bring her home. And every moment of that wild trip was worth it.

With her tiny stature and huge stage presence, Twinkie is destined to be a star. She doesn’t hesitate to nudge the big dogs aside when it’s time to shine—and audiences absolutely adore her.

Meet Mango

Australian Shepherd (Birth Date: September 13, 2024)

Mango is a colorful young female Aussie bred by the incredible Ronni of Desert Kingdom Sports Dogz in Arizona—the same breeder behind Jennifer’s rising star, Chardonnay. With her rich caramel coloring and warm, expressive eyes, Mango is as sweet as her name suggests. She’s the kind of girl that makes you want to melt into a cuddle and never let go.

Though still young, Mango is learning quickly and eager to please. Her affectionate nature and playful spirit make her a joy to work with, and she’s already turning heads with her potential. Jennifer is excited to team Mango up with Chardonnay on stage in the near future, where the two will delight guests with their synchronized charm and energy.

Mango may be new, but her future in the spotlight looks bright—and deliciously sweet.

Meet Party, Fiesta, Disco and Rave

The Puppies & Rising Stars

Afghan Hound Australian Shepherd Cross (Birth Date: January 1, 2025)

Every great hero has her moments—and sometimes, her oops moments too! Despite Jennifer’s careful planning, it turns out a few gates weren’t quite as secure as they should’ve been, and a couple of dogs who definitely weren’t supposed to be together found their moment. One thing led to another, and now the incredible Chardonnay is the proud mom of seven absolutely stunning puppies. And the father? Yep, of all dogs—Fabio!

These jaw-dropping pups are a rare cross between an Afghan Hound and an Australian Shepherd. With such talented and beautiful parents, it’s no surprise they’re already showing all the makings of future stars. Three of the puppies found their way into exceptional working homes, but Jennifer just couldn’t part with the remaining four.

Enter: PartyFiestaDisco, and Rave—a quartet of joy, energy, and unfiltered star potential. These pups are affectionately known as the “Raising Stars” and are being groomed to follow in their parents’ pawprints. They’re smart, stunning, and sassy, and we have no doubt they’ll make their mark on the stage in no time.
