Can CH BISS Am CH Paray’s Phenomenal
“Simone”
This pretty girl is 15 years old today. Little did we know what an impact Simone would have on our lives. When I first saw her, I was struck by her beauty. After all these years, I still give her the title of “Most Beautiful Bichon”.
Perhaps even more impressive is her effortless, smooth movement. Her outstanding reach and drive make her look as if she is gliding. Her show days have long been over, but her movement is as beautiful as ever.
Although Simone is not owned by me, and I had bred other litters before Simone came into our lives, I consider her my foundation bitch. Our most successful show dogs have come down from her.
Her children:
Can BIS MBISS GCH Am BISS Gold GCH Absolute Affinity Agape Bullet Proof: “Simon” (the only owner-handled Bichon to achieve Gold Grand Champion status).
Can CH Am CH Affinity Agape Absolute Bite the Bullet: “Zeke” the charmer, entertainer and excellent stud dog.
Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren (too many to list here) have also made their mark in conformation, performance sports and in their ability to produce outstanding examples of the breed.
We are fortunate to have such a lovely Bichon!
Simone, age 15
Oh, Simonee! We are _all_ so lucky for the gifts Simonee has given.
Happy Birthday, pretty little Simone!! It’s such a joy for us to see you again. You are such a beautiful gift still — age becomes you :). And you’ve made so many people happy throughout your years. I hope you had a very special treat today. Many hugs!!
Thank you Dianne. Simone had her favorite chicken and rice for her birthday breakfast today. She has truly changed our lives. Thank you to you and Dave for the influence that you had that made Simone possible for me. I am truly grateful. She is still a sweet beautiful girly girl. Karen, Sue and I owe any success that we may have achieved in the Bichon ring to Simone. She is a precious gift to us.
You’re so welcome, Sheri. You having Simone, along with your infinite grit, passion, perseverance and honor, has given you the “Phenomenal” success you so deserve (such a perfect name you chose for her!). And with Sue and Karen, what an excellent team you all are!! It’s been great to watch and to feel we’ve been a part of your dear little girl, not forgetting for a moment about our loving, sweetheart Soleil and our handsome, cherished King LeDoux. Congratulations to you all, and our best for continued success :).
She really looks and sounds like a wonderful girl! I love the expression in her eyes. What a doll! I can only imagine the joy and memories you have made with her. Thank you for sharing this with those of us who enjoy your blog.
