From our extended puppy family

Happy First Birthday DouDou!!!!

Our DouDou is one year old now.  We are celebrating his big birthday today.  We are so glad that we adopted him.  Ever since he joined our family 10 months ago, he has brought so much joy to us!   He has changed our life for better forever!
DouDou is doing well with us.  He weights 13.5 lbs and is healthy, playful and such a cute sweetheart. We love him so much that we sometimes jokingly say that we treat him like a child and spoil him like a grandchild.  He is being loved in our family and he is the center of attention when he is with our other family members and friends.

We are very happy we found you and have gotten to know you and George.  We could tell you are a trustworthy breeder and you love your dogs and puppies.  We feel so lucky that we adopted DouDou from you.  We have shared our experience with our friends who may be interested in getting a puppy. We will definitely get our next puppy from you by the time we decide to give DouDou a baby brother or sister.

Sal,

"I got a golden retriever pup from Jeanette named Bailly.  Bailly is now a year and a half and I am really happy with her.  As you probably know, they are the English Cream retrievers and are quite unique and beautiful.  Bailly has a very nice coat and lovely face.

I think the best part about her is the personality.  She is pretty relaxed and calm in the house but is then ready to go as soon as she gets outside.  I think it is the perfect mix.  She also gets along amazingly with other dogs.  She is very smart and picked up on things really quickly.  We live in the city so it is important that she be able to follow commands without a problem.  

There really aren't any downsides that I can think of.  I was very happy to get a puppy from a family breeder.  I live close by so I was able to meet the Mom and other puppies.  The first two to three months of their lives are obviously very happy ones :).

All in all I would highly recommend these dogs.  Well worth it!

 All the best,

"We are so happy with our puppy Aspen.  You knew her personality so well by 8 weeks, and every bit of your impression of her is true (spunky, full of "trouble", perfect for children).  We appreciated adopting through a breeder who has a vested interest in the bichon frise breed.  It was so helpful to see 3 generations of bichons at your home.  The great-grandmother, grandmother and mother are beautiful, perfectly mannered dogs with AMAZING fur.  We also appreciate all the effort you put into ensuring the health of the parents and the puppies.  You were right, they are bichons that "truly look like bichons". A phrase that didn't take on full meaning until we saw the dogs for ourselves.  Our (very experienced!) groomer had a chance to meet Aspen last week.  He was quite impressed at how well she handled herself for grooming, and how nicely she conforms to the breed standard. She is our daughter's best friend and loves to play! 

Blessing to you,

Christina, Andy and Ava"

"I just wanted to take the time to thank you beyond words for my little Annie.  She is a dream come true to our family and if it weren't for your impeccable ways as a breeder, my family would not have Annie in our home today.  She is so beautiful and has a absolutely perfect temperament; friendly, cuddly, sweet, outgoing and the perfect amount of shy.  

I also know that having to arrange a pick up for Annie wasn't the easiest thing to do; however, you made everything go so smoothly.  I called you everyday from New Jersey and it was almost like you instinctively knew that I wanted updates and little stories about my new puppy.  I would get off the phone with you everyday even more excited for New Years Day to arrive. 

Thank you again for everything you have done to make this experience all the best it has truly been.  We could not be any happier with our new puppy Annie or the process in which brought us to this day!!

God Bless,

Melanie and family from Wyckoff New Jersey!!! :)"

Thank you so much for our beautiful new puppy, Zoe! We lost our long time beloved pet Bichon Jack in the spring and our family was devastated after our loss. I was apprehensive how a new puppy would fit into our family however my worries were erased immediately when we visited your home to see the litter of puppies. I knew right away the puppies were handraised with love by a family who not only loves the breed but adores their beautiful and well-mannered, sister, mother and grandmother. From the moment we picked up Zoe to take her home, she stole our hearts. She has became a member of our family and brings so much joy to our home. Her pesonality and disposition are as sweet as she is a gorgeous Bichon. I often think of Tia, Tiffany, and Collette's personalites and know that Zoe's disposition comes from her sweet family and the love they receive. Zoe is so smart and playful and I often forget she is dog. She has taught herself to wave with one paw for attention which works extremely well for her. We have heard several times from family and guests, "I am normally not a dog person but you are so sweet I can't help myself." Not only has she stolen our hearts, she is a favorite of all of our friends, neighbors, groomer, and quite frankly everyone she meets. I can't thank you enough for the blessing she has been to our family!

We got Cody from Takoda Dogs in 2007.  He is a special dog, full of energy, very healthy and extremely handsome.  We have never shown a dog but with Jeanette's support he was able to get his Championship.  I've know Jeanette for many years.  She treats all her puppies like they are her own so they get a great start in their new life with a lot of love and care.  They are handled and played with all the time so by the time they leave they are already people friendly.  What a wonderful way for the puppies to start out on their own.
