I'm Erayna B., the breeder behind Legend Bichons located in Citrus Heights, CA. I am an AKC Breeder of Merit and a member of the Bichon Frise Club of America. I have been breeding Bichon Frise for 26 years under the kennel name of Legend and have produced 58 AKC champions to date.
Q. & A. with Erayna
Why did you start breeding?
I started in the Bichon Frise breed as a pet owner more than 20 years ago. I got our new puppy, "Jacques," because I had two highly allergic children, and fell in love with the breed and its sweet temperament. After my kids left the nest, I began to pursue my passion for the breed. I purchased my first female from a local breeder; and many dog shows and champions later, the "Legends" line is what it is today.
What makes your program special?
As a responsible breeder, my Bichons are bred for health and temperament. I continue to study the AKC breed standard and related subjects to better the breed. Our dams have produced numerous Champions, as well as quality companions. They both have earned Register of Merit award granted by the Bichon Frise Club of America, meaning they have each produced 5+ champion offspring.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
