A new kid on the block

Jan 272022
 

This is Orion.  Purejoy’s Absolutely Searching for a Star.  He is a new addition to our Absolutely family, bred by Kathy Martin of Purejoy Bichons in Burnaby, BC. At 11 months of age Orion ventured into the show ring for his true dog show debut.  Not only did Orion perform beautifully for such an unexperienced puppy, but he managed to get the nod all three days from the judges winning Best of Winners each day and gaining 8 points toward his Championship.   These are his first professional photos and he handled that pretty well too!  Looks like he may have a nice future ahead of him.  Good job little man.

Burrito (Absolutely Affinity Full of Beans) was awarded Select Dog on Saturday and Sunday (January 15 & 16) and on Monday he was Best of Breed.  Burrito with Sheri on the lead went to the Non-Sporting Group and were awarded a Group 4.  Immediately after the Non-Sporting Group Burrito, again with Sheri on the lead, went to the National Owner/Handler Group and was awarded a Group 3.  Burrito is out of CH Absolutely Affinity Take No Lip and GCH Absolutely Agape Happy Talk.  Nice wins and a great way to end a fun 3 days of dog shows.

This was our first dog show of 2022, and what a great show it was for Tasheena.  Her girls rocked!

Shae (Absolutely Snowbird Unleash The Shenanigans) loves everything about dog shows. With her big wins on Saturday, this 13 month old became a champion.

Fiona (Absolutely Affinity Gaelic Princess) surprised us all with her stellar performances. On Sunday she was Winners’ Bitch, for two points. She is only 6 month old!

Pixie (Absolutely Snowbird Hallmark Hijinks) prefers running and jumping to showing in the conformation ring.  She and Sherin worked hard and it paid off on Monday, when she got her first two points.

And Then There Was One

Only Favor remains at my house.  Grayson has left for his new home in Texas.

We miss him already!

Grayson sits on his new owner’s lap. She is phoning friends and telling them all about him.

In a week, Favor (peach girl) will get to try her “hand” in the show ring. There is a special baby puppy show for 4-6 month old puppies. She will be 4 months, 1 day.

Gloria – Supermom

Gloria is the best mother.  She is attentive and nurturing.  She plays with Favor and Grayson – running, chasing, wrestling.  This picture captures her in a loving nap with her son.
