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 have played a little with obedience this year and really must take it a little more seriously - she does well and enjoys it! She will now be competing in Advanced HTM and Freestyle and we are working on some new routines. She also enjoys demo's as she is such a little attention seeker :)
