Our history
began one day of June 1995, the Championship of the world occurred to Brussels.
There I discovered the Maltese Bichon in all his splendour, as it should
look and not as the poor specimen you can generally see in the street.
Provided with the catalogue of the expo and a pencil, I spent one half-day to
look at these white little dogs all more beautiful the ones than the others,
moving oneself with elegance and refinement,
one would have said white clouds on the green carpet of the ring, it was
sumptuous!!!!!!!
The finished judgement, I went to see them more closely, asked for informations
about the breed, the character, the necessary grooming for such a coat,
etc.... and on the spot, took an appointment with the breeder I had
chosen.
June 23, 1995, I went to visit Mr and Mrs Campanis (From the White Mountains
and Campbrocks).
We were welcomed by merry yaps, the Malteses played on the lawn and seemed very
happy!
The breeder invited us to enter; we spoke about what I wished, dog of company
or dog of expo, male or female?
He went away a few minutes, and returned, holding in his arms, a ball of white
hairs, it was mine!!!
A great
adventure was just beginning. We chose his name , Triki . I had this small life
in the arms and
already, I knew that we loved each other at once !!.
As soon as
possible, we were registered during show training at Mrs Aerts (which I thank
cordially to have teached me most of what I know today!!)
Our first show, was the specialty of the Maltese Club, there was a special category
for the puppies from 3 to 6 months and following our breeder's tip, we entered
. Triki, was very at ease, nothing could happen , we were together !!!.
As for me, I was panic stricken, fearing to forgot "how to show" my
dog as well as possible!!! .
All went well
and we returned proudly with our first diploma, our first cup, and our first
results.
I called the breeder, telling him what happened for our our first expo, how
and why. He was very proud of us, bringing back RBIS of
its category, it was fantastic, also he suggested us to enter a second show,
which we did!!!!!
Triki won all the classes puppy (6 to 9 months) with each time the mention Very
Promising and Best Puppy, all the youth classes (9 to 18 months) with the
mention Excellent and Best Young.
Currently, he holds 10 titles of champion, as well as many CAC, Cacib, BOB.
Then, in 1998,
Lady came to join us, I thank Mrs V D. Rijk (Van Voorne' S Home) for having
allowed me to acquire a female having qualities which I wished. I entered Lady
at 6 expositions,
the first was Luxembourg , puppy class, she was just 7 months, and obtained 1st
Very Promising, Best Puppy, the 4 following ones, were Mexico City, in youth
class. There was, for the World Dog Show, a special possibility to obtain the
title of champion of Mexico for the dogs entered in youth class, in condition
of course of obtaining 1st Excellent + the CAC, Best Female.
Thus our 10 months old Lady returned with the title of Champion of Mexico and
Vice-World Junior Champion.
She was only just 15 months, when we flew away to the show of Rabat in
Morocco. There too,
she won (despite a 3 years old female as a much older challenger), thus
obtaining the title of Champion of Morocco.
For the first time, December 25, 2000, she gave us 3 babies: Zplayboy,
Zplaygirl and Zoya (the last one living in Italy where she decides and obtains
almost always what she wants, just having to say WOUAH!!!!!
In 1999, another female came to join us : YBABY FACE
I benefit from the occasion to thank Mrs Kesseler (From Audreys Paradise) for
having helped me and made it possible to choose the female which was which was
appropriate to me.
Her first show was Alicante on December 3, 2000, with the following result :
1st Excel Cac-cacib- BOS;
on the whole in 6 shows she obtained: 5 times 1st Exc, 1 Best Young, 2 CACIB, 4
CAC, 2 BOB.
May 27, 2001, we were in Madrid and once more, she obtained 1st Excellent,
Cac-cacib - BOS.
