December 31: Happy New Year to all our friends!

Another year has passed, with a lot of fun and good company. Enjoying being together with our good friends, meeting new friends, and keeping in touch with those who are far away. Our sincere thanks to you who showed our Blicci paps and phalenes so well in 2009. We appreciate it all and look forward to seeing you and keeping in touch in 2010.

Special thanks to Elisa and Warren for letting Jet come here to spend a year. It's such a pleasure to have this friendly and lovable little guy here with our gang!

 


November 28, Norway:
Jet is Norvegian and Nordic champion

A truly wonderful day at the DOGS4ALL International Norvegian Winner show in Lilleström near Oslo:

Thank you very much to the judge Mrs. Glenda Cook from Australia who did once again appreciate the Blicci breed type.

Thank you also to our Norvegian phalene and papillon friends for your warm welcome and all your help. Irene Galåen was on the spot with her camera. Thanks a lot!

November 8, Denmark: Three new titles for Jet  

The last international show in Denmark was a really big day for DKCH SECH KBHV09 Blicci's Energetic.

Jet went Best of Breed with the title Danish Winner 2009. This win further secured him two more prestigious titles: Danish Kennel Club Breed Winner 2009 (top winning phalene at the Danish Kennel Club shows 2009, and this title is given to only one dog, not both male and female) and Club Winner 2009 (top winning male of the year, all shows). Six titles in total after six months here, that's truly amazing. Congrats to his lucky owner in the US, Elisa Kamens! Sunday's judge was Mr. Andreas Schemel from Austria. Jet was also shortlisted in the group, judged by Mr. Frank Sabella, US.
