Fun litter of crazy boys. Just doesn’t seem like a whole year has gone by! Wishing them all good health and lots of fun as they begin their 2nd year.

March 31 marks the 4th birthday of Sunny, now known as Molly (pictured here), Bella, Trystin and Spike. Molly has been working in the garden.
And 15 years ago today, three lovely puppies were born: Peyton, Tug and Cannon. They have the distinction of being the sweetest Bichons ever.

Shortly after returning from the trip to NYC, I was off again traveling to San Diego to judge sweepstakes at the Bichon Frise Club of San Diego’s annual Specialty. Being the judge inside the ring is certainly a different feeling than being on the lead as an exhibitor. I had a nice collection of beautiful bichons to judge ranging from just above 6 months to over 9 years of age. Below are my two ultimate winners for Sweepstakes and Veteran Sweepstakes. Jack and Holly, both from Hollyhock Bichons in California.
Thank you again to the San Diego club for this wonderful honor!

I had the distinct honor and pleasure of being asked to show a friend and fellow competitors dog at the Westminster Kennel Club show this past February. Kathy Martin, Dina Taylor and myself traveled to the Big Apple for the show. This was my first time in the ring at Westminster although my 4th time actually at the show.
Tia and I were still pulled out for the short list of dogs for further consideration. Although we finished out of the ribbons, just getting pulled is a great acknowledgement.
For those of you in the dog show world, or even if you are just a lover of dogs, you owe it to yourself to go to this show at least once in your lifetime. It’s a great experience. You can cheer us on while we are there!
