                                                                  DinkyDiva the Bichon Frise

 My thanks to Bert Easdon for entrusting me with DinkyD (Yakee Dancing on Ice) who was born on 26th January 2012.

I am very pleased to announce that she is the first ever Advanced Bichon Frise and she has made it a double as she is advanced in both HTM and in Freestyle.

So why a Bichon!

My inspiration - Jaxon (on Left) and his pupil Dinky (R)
DinkyD is my first Bichon and though I had been actively looking for a
small dog for around 5 years I had not found any breed that I was certain
about, and then along came a Bichon to puppy class - Jaxon! He sent me on an
investigation which took me to various Bichon events &  which led to Bert Easdon's
door.

Jaxon is a great companion and role model for DinkyD! She enjoys his company regularly and I am hoping some of his intelligence rubs off on her!  Watch out for their inclusion in the Bichon Frise Club Calendar :-)

She has great fun with the Beardies ... they must feel like giants to her but she is game to try anything they do! What a brave little girl she is!

And what is she up to.....

DinkyD is developing body awarness

She's my first little dog in about 30 years and I have been wondering why I waited so long - life is a lot of fun with a Dinky dog!!!

Training has been fun too - so many new and varied opportunities for freestyle with a little dog, and also some challenges such as how to teach super close heelwork with a little one! We really must do some obedience this year! 

Dinky has been involved in film work recently including a BBC Film at Christmas and has done some advertisements. 

She's a little show off who just enjoys life!
