Am. & Can. Ch. Pieridae Mercer's Shining Star
We are so excited to incorporate Zip into our breeding program. Although he finished his American Champion title in 2008, he had not met the requirements for his Canada Championship. Well, he got off the sofa, dusted himself off, packed his suitcase, picked up his favorite handler, Polly Lamarine, and had her drive him up to Canada for the New Brunswick shows and wow'd us all by finishing up his week there by going Best in Show at the New Brunwsick Toy Dog Club show on August 15, 2009!
Zip is a small dog - only 8-3/4" tall. He is a cuddly, kissy dog who loves everyone he meets. We are grateful that his wonderful traits are appearing in his first litters that we have. Zip is co-owned with our good friend, Karen Simicsak.
Ch. Zelicaon Count Your Blessing
And "count our blessings" we did when we decided to bring Mickey into our breeding program. He is by far one of the best Papillons we have had the pleasure to own. He has made quite a name for himself in the show ring with Polly at the lead. He became an American Champion at under 12 months of age and completed the requirements for his Grand Champion title at 14 months of age. We hope to send him to Canada with Polly shortly so that he can acquire his Canadian title.
Mickey is pictured here at 11 months of age. He is just 9" tall. He is linebred on the magnificent BIS Ch. Namaste Another Roadside Attraction, SOM.
Ely
Ah....the beautiful Ely. So far, he is taking a back seat to Mickey in the show ring, although I have shown him a couple of times. Whereas Mickey was born for the show ring, I tend to think that Ely was born for the sofa. That's where he truly shines! Being away from home for months at a time while being shown is not his cup of tea. So for the time being, he is here growing up and waiting for his friend, Mickey, to come back home.
Ely is sired by the handsome Joey that we used to own, Ch. Pizaz Hercules to Win. That makes him a half brother to our Sally....ah, the beautiful redhead. Everyone loves Sally. Well, everyone loves Ely too. We have just bred him to Margo and can't wait to see his first puppies!
