GCHS Ziburua Super Charger Wins Best of Breed in Colorado

This weekend has been an exciting one for us at Essence of Grace Yorkies as our boy, GCHS Ziburua Super Charger (Charlie), competed at the Greeley Kennel Club Dog Show in Greeley, Colorado. On Sunday, August 17, 2025, Charlie was awarded Best of Breed under Judge Joseph R. Vernuccio. We are incredibly proud of how beautifully he showed and grateful for the recognition he received in such a competitive lineup.

Charlie is currently ranked the #3 Yorkshire Terrier in the nation according to The Canine Chronicle, and each time he steps into the ring, he continues to make us proud. We are deeply thankful to his breeder, Liz Condado of Ziburua Kennel in Mexico, for entrusting us with such an exceptional dog, and to Jean Gauchat for her excellent presentation of him throughout the weekend.

Charlie as a Sire in Our Program

Charlie isn’t just a show dog — he’s also an important sire in our program. He will be the father of our upcoming litter of Yorkshire Terrier puppies, expected later this year. Families searching for Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale in Colorado can look forward to the same quality, structure, and temperament that Charlie brings into the ring. His champion bloodlines make him a valuable addition to our program, and we are excited to see his puppies carrying on that legacy.

Colorado Connections

One thing we noticed this weekend is that Charlie was the only Yorkshire Terrier entered in the Greeley show. This is perfectly fine — AKC shows often vary in entries depending on location — but it does make us wonder how many active Yorkshire Terrier breeders are currently showing in Colorado.

For families in Colorado searching for a Yorkie breeder, this highlights how limited local options may be. Our goal at Essence of Grace Yorkies is to make sure distance is never a barrier. We proudly show our dogs across the country so families everywhere — including Colorado — can see that healthy, Champion bloodline Yorkie puppies are available to them.

While we don’t yet have any personal puppies placed with families in Colorado, we have successfully delivered puppies there before. Through our flight nanny service, we’ve safely transported Yorkie puppies for other breeders, including two who are now happily living in Colorado. Whether near or far, we are committed to getting our puppies to the right homes.

Looking Ahead

Charlie has one more day of showing here in Greeley before heading home. We are excited for what lies ahead, both in the show ring and with his upcoming puppies. Colorado families, we look forward to the possibility of placing one of Charlie’s future Yorkshire Terrier puppies in your home — a beautiful blend of champion bloodlines, health, and loving temperament.
