October 2nd, 2012 - Little did I know that the phone call I made to Minnesota on this day would coincide with the arrival of a litter at Mirepoix, nor did I know that 12 weeks later one of those puppies would be coming home to Weskyuwin.  He had a fan club from the very beginning, when his puppy photo was posted on Facebook.  The comments were very complimentary, so much so that I became reluctant to change his name from Bollinger to something short and easy.  He already had a reputation attached to that name so "Bolli" it will remain.  Why Bollinger in the first place?  Bollinger is the maker of a very fine French Champagne and the entire litter's names were based on that theme.  All going well the American Kennel Club will accept our choice for a registered name - "Champagne on Ice".  

In one week I will be headed down south to the mid-west's winter on the shores of Lake Superior to meet with Bolli for the first time.  I promise to take lots of photos and post them for you to see.  Then, as he matures, you can follow his progress as he grows into my next show star.  I only expect the best for him...he deserves that from me.
