November 2011
After some well deserved time off from the show circuit, Honor comes back with a bang with back to back Group 1's and a Best in Show under Breeder Judge Mr. Gene Mills. Getting tuned up for a great 2012!

After over 14 glorious years on earth, we said goodbye to Ch. Pillow Talk's Talkin' Back DeGap  ROM[Sassy] on July 20th. She had a wonderful life, was a terrific producer and will be sorely missed. She added tons to the Pillow Talk breeding program and her personality is reflected in her grandchildren that are out there today. Her ashes will be buried with Lori, who also loved her so much.

June 2011
Honor finishes up all but the last day of June [yet to come] with three Group 1's as well as several more Group 1's  for a great month. Watch out world, here we come! Lisa is doing a super job!

People are talking about a very limited edition Zippo lighter with Honor's name and Face on it. Another special "Honor". Could designer cummerbunds be next?

May 2011

Honor ends the month of May taking a BISS and a BIS at the same show, while during the month winning or placing in several Non-Sporting Groups. The excitement continues to build!

April 2011

Honor ends the month of April as the #1 ranked Bichon Frise in breed points!

February/March 2011

Honor continues his winning ways by winning Best in Show at  TWO Bichon Specialty shows as well as several Group wins and Group placements during both months. Honor ended the month of March with a BANG by going back-to-back BEST IN SHOW's in Dubuque, IA under Judges Mr. Robert Salsbury and Mrs. Cindy Meyer. Happy Birthday, Lori! Handled by Lisa Bettis.

January 2011

Honor kicks off his show career in mid-January by taking several group placements and winning several groups including ending the month with back to back to back Group 1's in Illinois along with achieving his Grand Champion title. Handled by Lisa Bettis.


A new Champion enters the family as "Cosmo's" son finishes his championship in no time flat by Ryan Wolfe. Owned by Deena Mathog.


Fun mention of my house dog, Gabby, on actresses Cindy Morgan's Web site. She was made photo of the month for May 2010. Click for details.


With Lori's sudden passing in October 2006, the question has been asked over and over again what will happen with the Pillow Talk breeding line? After a lot of soul searching, and realizing that I could never do this on my own, and not wanting to throw 25 years of work down the drain, I have decided to turn the reigns over to my dear friends Kathie Vogel of Vogelflight Bichons in Virginia Beach, VA and Gerry Paolillo of DeGap Bichons of Cheshire, CT. Deena Mathog of CherAmi Bichons will also be a part of the future of the Pillow Talk line of Bichons.

  More Information
Dog Shows are more than the Westminster Kennel Club!

There are over 1500 dog shows held annually in the US. Chances are there is a Dog Show within a reasonable drive from your home on most weekends. Check out the AKC web site for more dog show information.

A Dog Show is a great place to meet a breeder and to see a dog at its best. Plus, it's a great way to spend a day. You'll have fun and get an education at the same time. Go and see the cream of the crop and help root for the dog who you think will win BEST IN SHOW!


 
Congratulations to Carly for winning Best In Show at the 2006 BFCA National Specialty and to her littermate, Cosmo, for winning BOS at the same show. This is the first time this has happened to littermates in the history of the BFCA National Specialty!

"Carly" started her career with a real bang! At her first two shows, she won Winners Bitch at 10 months old. Her third show was the Bichon Frise Club of America's National Specialty in Chicago, IL where Judge Norman Patton awarded her 1st place in the 9-12 month Puppy Class and went on to give her Winners Bitch and Best Puppy at 11 months old. The following day, she was awarded  Best Puppy once again at the Chicagoland Bichon Frise Clubs' Specialty show. Three shows later, she was a champion at 12 months old.

After taking the time to grow up a little bit, Lisa Bettis handled her to a Best in Specialty Show at the Bichon Frise Club of Southern New England under Judge Dr. Harry Smith at 17 months old in November 2004.

She made her national debut at the 2005 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in New York City where she was featured on CNN, Good Morning America, CBS News, New York Magazine, and other media publications. She was also featured in November 2005 at the Mohegan Sun AKC Challenge Dog Show on Fox Sports Network.

"Carly" won her first All-Breed Best in Show under Judge Dr. Robert Berndt.

"Carly" is now a multiple all-breed Best in Show winner and a multiple Best in Specialty Show winner!

After only 10 months of shows in 2005, "Carly" finished the year ranked as the #9 Non-Sporting Dog in the USA, defeating 10,407 dogs.

"Carly" wins Best In Show at the Bichon Frise Club of America 2006 National Specialty under Breeder-Judge Mrs. Ann Hearn. In a first in BFCA history, her littermate, "Cosmo" wins Best of Opposite Sex at the same show.

"Carly's" son, "Honor" wins Winners Dog at the 2010 Bichon Frise Club of America's National Specialty as his first dog show. He won from the Bred by Exhibitor Class show by co-owner and co-breeder Kathie Vogel. "Honor" then went on to finish his championship in one weekend. His record: 5 shows, four major wins, one Best of Breed over two champions; undefeated - all from the bred by exhibitor class. Thank you Kathie and Danielle. "Honor" is out of Mulitple BIS/BISS UK/US Ch. Paray's I Told You So ROMX[Buster] x Mulitple BIS/BISS Ch. Pillow Talk's No Secrets [Carly]. His sire also owns every Bichon Frise Record in the UK at this time. Both parents are National Specialty Winners.
