I'm the breeder behind Golden Bay Bichons located in Oakland, CA. Our dogs and pups are raised in our home and are loved as family. We strive to produce high-quality companions. Our goal is to ensure every dog that comes from our program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves our care. We provide each of our pups with lots of socialization and love, and we are dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding policies.
