The Evergreen Chihuahua Club was started in the 1950's by a group of Chihuahua fanciers from the Seattle area and was lead by Anne Stober of Wildwood  Chihuahuas for many years. Anne and her Son Michael were the club for sometime and without them ECC would have ceased to exist.
  For many years ECC held its Chihuahua Specialty shows as part of the Olympic Kennel Club, but by the 1980's ECC had grown in number and had a more active members. That is when ECC decided to go independent. In 1985 the Evergreen Chihuahua Club held its first independent Chihuahua Specialty Show the day PRIOR TO the Olympic Kennel Club all breed shows. We have been going strong since. You can see a list of former Best Of Breed winners in our show catalog going back to that first year.
