Q. & A. with Roberta
Why did you start breeding?
I initially started breeding for the joy of raising puppies and providing bichon lovers with a pet. I am now more interested in breeding higher quality dogs for shows.What makes your program special?
I think what makes my breeding special is that I am an owner/breeder/handler. That my goal is not to produce numerous litters, but rather to produce high quality puppies that are raised in a loving home that receive maximum attention and training.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Great level
Just Bichons reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Bichon Frises.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
DNA Profile
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
