Pinnacle Papillons started its story in 1994 with the acquistion of Oreo - Karousel's Double Stuffed, OA, NAJ, CGC. I had always admired these bright little dogs with butterfly ears, enjoying their beauty and intelligence. When my daughter, Ashley, started to learn Jr. Showmanship, I decided we needed to get a smaller table dog for her, and I began inquiring to some breeders about obtaining a papillon. Jackie Brezeale was very helpful and encouraging and allowed us to acquire Oreo. Since then, our family has fallen in love with these bright little dogs and our papillon crew has grown to six, Cricket - Karousel's I'm A Cowgirl, Beamer - Am & Int CH Karousels Play It By Ear, Lena - Int CH Pinnacle's Thumble Lena, G.G. - Int CH Pinnacle's Georgie Girl, Indy - Pinnacle's Indy Racer, and Kipper - Pinnacle's Kipperling.
Oreo and Ashley did really well in Jr. Showmanship, moving from the Novice Jr. class to the Open Jr. class quickly and then obtaining some nice wins in Open Jr. class.
Oreo was also trained in obedience and agility and was handled by me to his Open Agility and Novice Jumpers titles before his life ended suddenly on October 19, 2000. Ashley is now 18 and in college and Pinnacle Papillons has moved forward with it's current winners and future hopefuls!
Oreo doing his thing!
Oreo was also shown in conformation. He gardnered 5 points and won a Best of Breed (BOB) and a 5 point major-reserve (handled by Ashley at the Astrohall shows in Houston!).
