Oliver and I recently traveled to the Bichon Frise Club of America’s National Specialty near Orlando, FL. Karen and Sue were not able to attend. As you can see from the blogposts…puppies. But our friend Dina Taylor traveled with me. It’s amazing the gear that is required for one little white show dog. Dina helped me out with all of that and more, all the while maintaining an online presence with her employer Amazon. Dinas help was invaluable.
So Oliver won the Grand Champion Dog class in the Bred By Exhibitor Special Attraction judged by breeder judge Mayno Blanding. He also made the “cut” in the main event. Oliver received so much positive attendion from fellow breeders, exhibitors and other judges that we really felt like big winners.
Since we only see the vast majority of these people once a year, you never know how your young dogs will be received. Let’s just say that Oliver has many, many fans.
Here is our win photo. All other photos are by Dina, even the cool artisitic one in the hallway.
In other news: I have been elected to serve on the Board of Directors for our National Club. This is truly an honor.
Another HUGE honor is that I have been voted by the membership to judge the Bred By Exhibitor Special Attraction competition at Nationals, 2021 in Chicago. That is going to be really fun and a highlight in my bichon career.
I am really excited!!!
Ladies, you are doing something really special with your dogs. Thank you for all you have done to help me ramp up in this crazy Bichon life. Few know the moment their life changed forever. Mine changed the day I met you at the Seattle show in 2014. Congratulations on your successes to date. I smell a Garden in your future.
