GCH Craigdale Chip Off The Rock
Chip
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. 🙂
What an honor to see Chip being recognized for the great dog he is. He is the Father and Grandfather of many of our dogs.
Beautiful post for 2 wonderful owners and a 11 year old Bichon that showed like a 2 year old at the National Specialty. It was truly a thrill to be there and see Dale and Chip in the ring–and be presented with an Award of Merit that he is so worthy of!!
Great story! Thank you for sharing. Nice to see senior’s making the grade.
It was such an honor to be able to see Grandpa Chip in the ring. The applause was remarkable indeed, and you can tell he still loves to show.
