Chickie is an example of why I love Cardigans. She wakes up happy, goes to bed happy and is happy in between!  Her Daddy Oliver sometimes throws a shy puppy, but not in this case.  She is rock solid, aims to please, and is friendly and affectionate yet not too needy.  She moves around the ring with purpose, stops on a dime and looks up enticingly at the judge, who will be unable to resist awarding her that purple ribbon once in a while!

Chickie is a slightly more compact version of her Sister Belle, sharing most of the same qualities, including beautiful head and expression, bright tri coloring, gigantic forechest, great shoulder layback, big round bone covered with strong muscles, generous rib, level topline, super-angulated stifles, and short, short hocks.
