Star now MX
Star's titles now read CH Blicci's Sandra Dee MX MXJ NJC NGC AD CGC
As Andrea wrote: "She also picked up her 6th leg toward the Mach title and got 3 first places that amounted to 100 mach pts. You need 20 double Q's and 750 pts for a Mach she has 6 double Q's and 700 pts. You get a pt for each second you are under the course time and if you win first place you double those points and second place you times it by 1.5" Did you get it - sounds like a challenge indeed, but we are sure Andrea and Star are going for it. Good luck!

The Story of Sunny and TipThey travelled together in May 2002, 11 weeks old, from Denmark to another part of the world to meet their new owners. Little Blicci's U Are My Sunshine and her litter brother Blicci's Upside Down U Turn Me. They went to live with Karen MacPhee at Prince Edward Island in Canada and Christine Robichaud in Maine, USA respectively. Their owners became friends. And the two litter mates grew up to be very beautiful papillons. On this picture they met again at a show in Fredericton, Canada - as BOB and BOS. Congratulations, Karen and Christine......well done.... and thank you!
Sunny finished as Canadian Champion and thus became Nina's 5th champion offspring. Sunny has got her own page in our Gallery now. And Tip's page is updated with new photos. Tip went Group 1st in Canada and has several other group placements lately - and an Award of Merit at the Patriot Papillon Club show.
