Our little Luna, Frittmi's Love Potion debuted in the showring at the age of 9 mths. Of course the only place we had available for her first time was the International Winner show in Helsinki fair center. She did very well and become 3rd in her class under Norwegian judge Espen Engh. I also handled Leaflet's Enfant Terrible, who once again showed us what it means when people talk about bichons being stubborn. He suddenly decided to stop moving and started screaming when I tried to make him take one more step in the competition class. Of course there was nothing wrong with him, he probably "needed to go" and his stupid breeder-handler didn't realize the situation. (I tell you, NEVER name your puppy as Enfant Terrible, ever... ;)) Anyway, despite his actions in the ring he became 4th in his class!

My bichons at home have taken a break from the showrings after the summer due to their maternity leaves. We are currently expecting a litter after Leaflet's Easy Come Easy Go (1xRCC) out of Leeward's Ringside Rose (2xRCC, 1xCC). The puppies are due before Christmas. If you are interested, please contact me via e-mail or by telephone.
