Benny (Absolutely Affinity A Bientot) – New Champion

Benny (the 5th Bichon from the left side of the picture) is now a Canadian Champion. On Thursday of the Lower Mainland dog show Benny was Best of Winners for 2 pts.–on Friday and Saturday he was again Best of Winners for 2 pts. each day (under judges Eugene Blake, Mario Magsaysay, & Dennis McCoy)–so adding the points to the points he earned at the Fraser Valley show a couple of weeks ago, Benny has 10 points and that gives him his Championship. He has finished quickly–at just over 1 year old. Sydney was in the show too–and went Reserve Winner each day. Both the pups looked very nice and showed well (Sydney can be a little “wild” in the show ring–but at least she is having a good time!). It was an amazing 4 day show — with Benny getting his Championship and Simon going Best in Show on Saturday–we are still all “flying high” and probably won’t come back to earth for a good long time with a win like that!!!! Thank you to all the other Bichon exhibitors for all their support–we had so much fun!! Best show ever. (picture taken by Cherie Ekholm)
