Just heard from Dennis Leroux that Chloe (Ch. Mariah's Eleanor Rigby) was posted on CHIC today. When I just looked on the CHIC registry, there are now 150 Shorthairs registered with CHIC!! Congratulations Dennis and Deb and everyone else for the new CHIC designations.

 

Just as a reminder -- to be listed on CHIC, a dog must have a permanent ID -- either a microchip or tatoo -- the DNA registration doesn't count because it cannot be verified by the examining veterinarian.

 

I have mentioned before that Chloe's dam Abbey (Ch. Mariah's Forever Spring) also has all of the CHIC clearances, but cannot be listed because she does not have a PI -- and Abbey's sire, BIS Ch. Wyndbourne The Chances Are likewise has all of the CHIC clearances but is missing the PI. So Chloe is actually 3rd generation with CHIC level clearances -- quite an accomplishment and a lot of effort for something that cannot show up because of the requirement for a PI.

 

Just another reason to get all of one's puppies microchipped.
