Patricia, Steven, and Lily sent this very cute Bichon flower arrangement to me for Gramma’s Day (since I was Lily’s breeder). So thoughtful of them and it makes me smile every time I look at the flowers. How clever! I will enjoy the arrangement for a long time. Thank you!!!
First time in the ring. Not too shabby.

Chip
At 11 years of age, Chip entered the ring at the BFCA Nationals this past weekend to thunderous applause, cheers and tears of joy. It was such a thrill to see this fantastic Bichon coming back out as a veteran. Chip has not forgotten his way around the ring. He showed like a dream. Chip won his class and went on to compete for Best of Breed with all the other top Bichons in the country. Esteemed Judge Frank Sabella presented Dale and Chip with a coveted Award of Merit!
Of the 86 dogs entered at the Specialty, only 9 receive awards and Chip was one of them.
Chip is the Patriarch of our Absolutely line. Beautiful things happened when he was paired up with our lovely girl Simone. We owe a great deal of our success to Chip.
With great admiration we honor Chip and his beloved people Dale Hunter and Cheryl Blair.
I could go on and on. I’m all teary eyed again. 🙂
