Posted on December 1, 2014 by webmaster Posted in Dee Dee

What a wonderful way to celebrate a Thanksgiving weekend away from home! We took Dee Dee and Cooper to 4 days of dog shows in Yuma Arizona and had a great time. The babies, Misty and Wills, came along for the “experience”.

There were 13 Bichons entered (5-5 (3-0)) and Dee Dee took TWO MAJORS. She is now just 6 points away from her Champion title.

Misty gets BOB and Group 4 in puppy match

Posted on November 16, 2014 by webmaster Posted in Misty

It was a beautiful day for a Puppy Match hosted by the Del Sur Kennel Club.

The big surprise was the youngest entry, Hollyhock’s very own Misty, taking the biggest prize, Best Of Breed, at only 15 weeks old over 7 older bichons. She also went on to claim a Group 4 for the Non-Sporting group. Keep an eye on this little girl! She is diggin’ this show stuff.

Congratulations also to the boys, her brother Wills, Getty and Robin, and to the bigger girls, Lulu, Lily, Bukie and Dee Dee. We are going to have fun with all these little ones in the show ring next year.

Cooper gets BOB and a Group 4

Posted on July 14, 2014 by webmaster Posted in Cooper

Cooper had a very nice weekend at the Cabrillo Kennel Club shows, with his second Best Of Breed awards in his last two shows. He also earned Deb a few Owner Handler points and got a Group 4 when he went in the ring with the Non-Sporting Group finalists. Way to go Coopie! I think you deserve an ice cream. It was a HOT weekend for everyone.
