What makes a Standard Poodle Puppy from Bijou Poodles so Different ?
Please click on any underlined words to be taken to another web page or photo containing further explainations.
Although most people come to us because they have met one of our special poodles in person
or have seen photos of our Beautiful Browns, or our Radiant Reds in magazines or online,
Or have seen our dogs at a Show or heard of our Reputation
There is a great deal more that makes a Poodle Puppy from Bijou so special.
Your puppy's litter was planned up to ~ 5 years ~ in advance based on
Pedigree (generations of ancestors), Temperament, Health and of course, colour.
We screen our puppy people to make sure that they get a puppy from a litter that is best suited to them, using our Puppy Application
You can read about your Puppy's Development from conception to birth on a special web page we will
do up for you for each of our litters so you can follow your puppy's growth, just like this example Pregnancy Progression
which we try to update with photos of the mom growing and information about the puppys growing.
As soon as the pups are born we follow this Puppy Development Page
which is updated weekly with videos and photos of the pups.
During the course of the pup's development we practice Biosensor Stimulas with our Pups.
Our pups come mostly toilet trained thanks to our latest training tool that we call our Puppy Box
which provides an area for pups to feed and play and a seperate area for toileting, simulating "outside".
The puppies start peeing and pooing farther and farther away from their sleep/play area until they can be
trained to go right outside 4x a day to toilet.
This Puppy Box took us years to develop. We searched the world
to find the proper material to build it with and style to design it, that will best work for training and raising
Clean pups that know not to mess where they eat and sleep.
The results of our diligence shows in our references which can be read here on our References from Past Puppy Buyers web page.
We also look at avoiding close inbreeding to keep our amazing calm stable temperaments.
Although we know our pedigrees (your puppy's family tree and ancestors) inside and out,
we also use a tool that tells us an actual number of inbreeding called a COI (Coefficient Of Inbreeding).
The lower the COI number the less the amount of inbreeding.
For each planned litter we provide the COInumber on the Litter's web page and
below the advertised planned breeding that appears on our Upcoming Litter page.
We know everyone is excited to get their new puppy and they may wish to do some shopping for their new
family member so we put together this What to buy for new puppy we hope you will check out.
We have our puppys on Kirkland Signature Dog Food Chicken & Rice which we purchase at Costco.
However simular brands might be Iams or Diamond Brand. You can read more about our and other Food choices.
We listen to the needs of our Puppy Buyers and they have been requesting Pediatric Spay and Neuter which
we have decided would only be responsible for us to pay for and do, before puppy goes home.
Puppy comes with up to date Vaccinations Microchip ID, Guarantee
and 24/7 LIFETIME breeder support, emails are answered within 24 hours or sooner, Collar, Leash, toy (with mom's scent),
Owner's Manual addressing EVERYTHING from Obedience to crate training.
We also put together a DVD containing photos of mom pregnant and of the pups WEEKLY until they go home.
At 5 weeks of age we may also hire a professional photographer to come into our home
and take quality photos of each of our puppies.
Of course we take weekly video of the litter and individuals as well to help you start in the bonding process.
You can see an example of the web page we will set up our Litters by this example *Click Here or *Click Here.
We are very Ethical, Reputable and Conscientious Breeders
who have spent the time to learn and EARN the right to be breeding wonderful Poodles.
To better describe what we mean we put together a web page describing our long journey called Our History.
Being reputable also means to us offering a home to any of our pups at any time
during their life span should they be in need of a home and for ANY reason.
None of our pups will EVER be in a shelter or in a home that doesn't want to have them.
We don't often have strangers come to visit, because we would be opening up our Home,
potentially exposing our precious puppies to disease and or toxins.
We also want to make sure everyone has taken the time to read ALL of our information to make an INFORMED choice
to purchase a puppy from us BEFORE coming out to our Home
We want to make sure people are fully prepared to raise a healthy happy puppy and not buy on impulse,
falling in love with our cute happy bouncing puppies and later being overwhelmed by the demands of puppyhood.
We wish an Application to be filled out to see if you would be an appropriate owner for one of our precious pups first.
Then we want to make sure you know all that you can About Us and our Poodle Parents
and about our Brown Poodles and our Red Poodles and Poodles in general.
We also wish to make sure you have carefully considered if you are really ready for the demands of a new furry family member
and if you prepared to raise a happy, confident, loving puppy. We have set up some suggestions on our Obedience web page.
I also have set up a web page that addresses some of the most common "AFTER" purchase questions we get asked
I call my New Puppy Questions page.
When we are confident that you have taken the time to do your research and are prepared for a puppy, we can set up an appointment
for you to come out and meet us and our Poodle family.
While this sounds like a bit of a long process, for us it is the most responsible way to match puppys with forever homes.
We often get asked "what is the difference between your Red Poodles and your Brown Poodles
I can ONLY speak about "OUR" poodles since other breeder's poodles certainly not the same as ours
as we are not all breeding for the same qualities.
RED STANDARD POODLES:
Physically: Our Red poodles tend to be 21"-25" in height and also 45-55lbs.
I have introduced a different line in hopes of getting more height on our reds but as of 2010 this seems to be our average.
Reds are slighter boned and more refined and "pretty" in their looks more like what you would find in a show ring.
Reds we keep are dark Irish setter red which we breed together.
We will usually get dark Irish setter pups with correct dark brown eyes and jet black nose, eye rims commonly referred to as "points"
in our litters but they may have a white toe or white fluff on their chest.
Photos of our reds just do not do them justice, as they are so much darker than they appear in video.
Every colour will fade at some point and at some degree but we hope to prevent or prolong that from happening by
Select breeding. Our Reds can stay Irish Setter Red or they can lighten to a dark apricot with age.
We have seen dark red pups from other breeders go almost completely white if they have not had a red pedigree.
Best guarantee that your puppy will stay red is to see both of the parents current photos and videos.
Our reds are FAST... they are the Lance Armstrongs of the poodle world for sure. Lots of wind and can
out race our browns in a game of keep away or tag. Our Reds would LOVE agility or rally.
Temperament : Well if you have seen Velcro on shoes... you will know what I mean when I say
our Reds are like velcro dogs. They want to be everywhere you are, even in the bathroom.
Reds are total devotion, dedication and adoration and huge cuddlers.
All our poodles have calm laid back temperament. NO hyper pacing or barking.
Males are more laid back content to rest on your feet
Females wish to be on your lap and also wish to know where everyone in the household is and what they are up to.
BROWN STANDARD POODLES:
Physically: They range from 24"-28" and 45lbs-85lbs.
Our Browns tend to range in size really depending on the parents
Our smallest brown female is Sophie and our Largest is Java
Our Browns tend to be more "course" than what you would typically see at a dog show and for sure
have loads more muscle and boning than the average chicken boned poodle you may meet.
Our Brown poodles are DARK brown. This is very difficult to have achieved and took years.
Our pups may get a sprinkle of grey hairs through their coat when they get older and may even lighten
on their muzzle or tail area when they age. There really is no guarantee on colour even though we do
DNA test to ensure our poodles do not carry the fading gene.
Temperament : Our Browns are sweet natured and calm.
All our poodles have calm laid back temperament. NO hyper pacing or barking.
Our Browns love to be with you in the same room or on the couch beside you cuddling during a movie.
I use my browns as my jogging partners as they are taller and longer limbed able to do 6km with me
without any stress or strain and they actually look forward to it and enjoy the activity.
Browns and all poodles will actually do any activity that pleases you as that is just the breed's nature.
Over the years I have done Tracking (ALL dogs love this sport), Schutzhund, Obedience, Rally, Pet therapy,
Agility with my poodles and all performed well. I have tried doing feild with my poodles as my good friend was
training her tollers at the time, but other than getting my poodle pups really birdy I never did get past the force fetch to excel.
Our web site helps us find the best Puppy People for our Bijou Puppies and hopefully helps people find their new best friend.
