Neither girl wanted to sit still for a picture today.  At 10 weeks old, they think they have better things to do!

Miss Orange is very independent. I counted 3 puppies and couldn't find her. She was in her dog yard, in a corner, trying to dig through cement. Who wants to sit for a picture when adventures await elsewhere??

Pink Girl, who is usually quite agreeable, threw a little fit today. She circled and circled on the table. Then she was mad at me and wouldn't look at me. Finally we got this picture.

GCH Craigdale Chip Off The Rock

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.   🙂
