The 2nd Bichon Frise Club of Puget Sound Specialty was a terrific win for the Absolutely team.  Burrito (Absolutely Affinity Full of Beans) was Best of Breed–beautifully handled by Cheyenne Calvert.  Fiona (Absolutely Affinity Gaelic Princess) was Best of Winners and also received an Award of Merit.  Shae (Absolutely Snowbird Unleash the Shenanigans) was Best of Opposite Sex.  Fiona and Shae were expertly handled by Tasheena.  Thank you Absolutely team for grooming and presenting these dogs–couldn’t have done it without you!!!  And thank you to judge Chris Levy for recognizing our dogs–all 3 dogs are Sassy (CH Absolutely Affinity Take No Lip) pups–Burrito and Shae sired by GCH Absolutely Agape Happy Talk and Fiona sired by CH Absolutely Agape Heartthrob.  Fun day–BIG WINS!!!

GCH Absolutely Wagnes It’s Time To pay The Piper aka Cash took a spin around the show ring as a Veteran at our local Specialty.  Dina sat ringside so she could watch her boy as Dale Hunter moved him gracefully for the judge. Both Cash and Dale still have the moves.

On day 2 Adora was on the lead as Cash showed the youngsters how it’s done.

The veteran class is special and always gets applause and a misty eye or two.  Well done Cash. Well done

Jerry and Belle travelled from Green Valley, AZ to participate in our local Specialty weekend. Both Belle and Jerry are still quite new to the show ring but they managed to score Winners and Best Opposite on Sunday.  Now that the seal has been broken Belle should glide into her Championship.  Jerry is a long time friend of Absolutely Bichons and  we are so happy that he has jumped into the show-ring with his beautiful Belle.  Another Absolutely Champion in the making.  Great job Jerry!

With a young Champion you certainly don’t go into a Specialty expecting to win. Sometimes we are surprised. On day 1 in Puyallup Orion (Ch Purejoy’s Absolutely Searching For A Star 💫 ) was awarded Best of Breed by judge Michael Canalizo.
Orion still has some maturing to do but I can see some more winning in his future.

18 months-first time out as a Special.

It’s been a year since I’ve seen Bridget (now known as Daisy)

She came for a visit yesterday and it was wonderful to see this lovely, happy little girl.  She had fun with her Bichon relatives, too.

Bridget recognizes her former home.

What a beautiful little girl! Her parents are Donald x Violet.
