Estee de Rancho Cotate, born July 30,
2000, is our beautiful Grand Dam. Her AKC pedigree includes
the bloodline of the Champion Tomaura's and the European
bloodline of Royal Dutch from Holland. The official seal of
the American kennel Club certifies this pedigree was
compiled from its Stud Book records on November 10, 2000. A
copy of her Certified Pedigree is downloadable from
the AKC.org website. She is approximately 11" at
the withers (shoulders), very sturdy in structure, and
conforms well to the Standard for Bichon Frise by the
American Kennel Club. She has a beautiful face and a
sweet personality and disposition. Her dense pure white
coat springs back to the touch, her eyes are big and
bright and her smile overwhelming. Estee loves being a
mother, is extremely patient, tender, loving and agile.
Please see Estee's Registrations and Certifications
below.
Estee's first litter arrived December 29, 2003, and were
named Noel, Cupid, Dasher, Donner and Blitzen for our
favorite reindeer.
Her second litter, coming on October 29, 2004, were members
of Camelot, with King Arthur, Sir Launcelot, Guinnevere,
Morgan LeFay, and of course mighty Merlin!
Estee's third litter was born on November 29, 2005, and was
ready for adoption at nine weeks of age starting January
31, 2006. The litter this time consisted of 5 very well
developed males, who were given the names Ernest, Chandler,
Dashiell, Dylan and Hermann, named after famous authors.
Estee fourth litter was successfully bred May 4,5,6, 2006
to the same Stud as litter 3, Charles. At 2:30 pm Friday July
7th, Estee saw Revere stick his head into the world for the
first time, followed at regular intervals by Liberty,
Benji, Belle, and Thomas. You guessed it, an American
Independence litter.
Estee and her
Prince Charles had their 5th anniversary week in Valentine
bliss from February 11-20, 2008. At 2:40 am on April 19,
2008, the first puppy, Logan came into the world, followed
by Anton, Giselle, Chloe, and Hunter.
Last January while my Mom was in the
hospital recovering from a broken hip and a heart attack
that required the implantation of a defibrillator, her
Bichon of 15 years, Marseilles passed away. She has been
alone since that time, and the other day she called,
needing a companion, but not a puppy. Those of you who know
Estee, know how perfect she is to take gentle, loving care
of Mom. Being 8 years old, she is mellow and mature and a
great snuggler. There are plenty of other dogs in the
neighborhood for her to visit and play with, and Estee will
be spoiled just like Mom in her golden years.
