Kelly is my first Papillon and as the saying goes: "you can't have just one"... She was born 5 July 1992. Kelly has enjoyed training in obedience and agility, but didn't think much of showing. At 7 years she changed her mind; her first appearance in Senior's class was rewarded with a 2nd place with qualification Excellent and the judge's written critique "Wish I had seen more characters like her in the ring today". In sept. 2001 she won her class, again with Exc., and was Best Veteran Papillon bitch. She is a very cheerful girl and loves entertaining visitors on the couch by barking in their ear and messing up their hairdo. She wakes up chatting and tailwagging every morning, bounces down the stairs and is ready for a brandnew day. She's a grand "old" lady and I'm convinced she inherited her spirit from grandma Lucy.
