Blooming Bichons

Rhonda H.

Breeder of Bichon Frises

Meet the breeder

I'm Rhonda H., the breeder behind Blooming Bichons located in Aransas Pass, TX. Our program has produced excellent show ring and performance dogs, but we’re equally proud of all the dogs that we’ve placed in loving homes as family companions.

Q. & A. with Rhonda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My mother bred Welsh Corgis when I was growing up. I love life and being part of bringing in new lives to this world. I always had the desire to breed dogs, and finally my life circumstances opened up to this rewarding opportunity.

  • What makes your program special?

    I believe that if you want a Bichon, there are usually the traits of this breed that draws you to it. It could be the thick white coat, black eyes and nose, or their gentle, fun personality, and their need to need you, and have you need them! So I breed for the breed standard, both for size and character, temperament, and health. I am here for you for any questions, and have a health guarantee .

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
