Billybear
Ch Toniri Angel By My Side

D.O.B. 16.05.99
Sire: Elvoer Double Impact
Dam: Elvoer Silver Sequin

I bought Billybear as a companion for Scooter without any plans to show and without really knowing much about poodles other than how special they are. He was bought on full register from Iris of Toniri Toy Poodles as I thought I might do obedience with him.

I joined the Poodle Club of Victoria and was encouraged to try showing. I started showing for fun and I was hooked. I totally adore the hair and the glamour of showing poodles.

Billybear was a born showdog. When Billy showed, he showed his butt off! Billy was my first showdog and first champion. He titled easily earning multiple Class in Group awards, Best of Breeds, a Reserve Challenge Dog at the Toy Poodle Society Specialty and multiple 13 and 14 point Challenges along the way.

Billybear made me proud by earning his title against stiff competition in Melbourne by the age of 18 months despite the fact that he's a silver beige. He was the first silver beige toy poodle to earn his title in Australia. He sired 2 litters of and has a champion son and grandson.

Billy is now my snuggle bed-bug. He is mostly bald because of hypothyroidism. To read his story click here.
