Little Fiona was awesome at the National Specialty–she won her class in Sweepstakes and went on to compete for Best in Sweeps.  In Bred-By Exhibitor Fiona was awarded 2nd place in her age group.  In Conformation, Fiona (handled by Tasheena) was awarded Reserve Winner Bitch for a 3 point major and also Best Puppy in show under judge Bill McFadden.   Way to Go Fiona!!!

Shae, again handled by Tasheena did well in Conformation and  received an Award of Merit from judge Bill McFadden.  All of us are so proud of these young girls and we look forward to showing them again at next years National.

May 2, 2022 the Absolutely team traveled to Tulsa, Oklahoma for the BFCA Specialty.  We had a fun time and the dogs did very well.  So proud of the dogs and the team!  Pictures–Belle giving me kisses!  ( I hadn’t seen her since she was 12 weeks old and went off to Arizona with Jerry).  Belle, with Jerry handling, earned a 3rd place ribbon in her class from judge Carol Fellbaum, Sweepstakes judge, a 3rd place ribbon in her class from Futurity judge, Larry Letsche, and a 4th place ribbon (again in her class–12 to 18 months) from Conformation judge, Bill McFadden.  Good work Jerry and Belle!

New Champion

Apr 262022
 

Introducing American Champion Purejoys Absolutely Searching For A Star.

Orion finished his American Championship pretty quickly.  First show was in January, second in March and now wrapped up with his third show in April at the Tacoma Kennel Club show.  Orion will sit out for a few month to mature a little before he comes out to compete for his Grand Championship.  Plus we will be taking trips to Canada for his Canadian Championship.  After all, Canada is his homeland.  🙂 Oh Canada.

Congratulations to his breeder and Co-owner Kathy Martin of Burnaby, BC for breeding this lovely little guy.


Happy Birthday, Wilson!

After Wilson (Absolutely Agape First And Goal) finished his championship, he decided to retire. A friend was asking for a nice male to be a friend to their female Bichon. Wilson was happy to oblige and he has fit in to his new family so well.

San Diego Specialty

Mar 062022
 

Dina and I traveled to sunny Del Mar, California at the end of February.  What a terrific weekend we had at the Bichon Frise Club of San Diego Specialty.  Its always so nice to see our California friends.  There was a very nice entry of 30 Bichons including Orion and Belle and our friends Cheryl and Dales boy Mundo. Orion and Belle finished in the ribbons each day but no big wins for either until the final day when Orion won Sweepstakes under Breeder Judge Lianne Bondurant and Reserve Winners Dog.  Of course Mundo was the big winner of the weekend taking Best in Specialty Show all three days while being handled by the talented Fan Yu.  A fun and exciting weekend.
