We are Trevor & Paula Norman and our current four Bichon girls, Poppy, Suki, Rosie and Lucy and our latest arrival, our first boy Bichon, Beau - Popsuroz Bichons.

Poppy was our first and she is now 6 and fit and healthy with Suki and Rosie being sisters from the same litter from Poppy, they are now 3 years old (2009).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rosie (Bear)  has qualified for entry to Crufts for life after gaining her kennel Club Stud Book number at the Scottish Kennel Club (SKC) Championship show in August 2009.

Rosie is the smallest of our "pack" but has a wonderful shape, coat and attitude, whay she lacks in size she makes up for in character - she loves the show ring and knows when she wins at which point she usually "shouts" for joy - she is currently on "Maternity Leave" as the mother of our latest puppies.

The following pictures, courtesy of onEdition were taken ringside at Crufts, day 3, 2010.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lucy, we rescued from a home with no knowledge of the Bichon's requirements and she came to us unloved, untrained and very unsure of herself with many behavioural problems - now, 18-months on, she is ready to go to her new home with people who understand and love the mischievous character of the Bichon Frise (Lucy especially).

 

 

 

 

 

Beau is the first boy Bichon for the Popsuroz kennel and comes from the award winning, Champion breeding Rusmar kennel.  Born in October 2009 and already showing form having won his first award at 4-months old and again at 5-months for the puppy walk at ringcraft, we are looking forward to Beau "Strutting his Stuff"from April 2010 - look out for him!!!

Beau took his first two class wins at the Welsh Kennel Club and Scottish Kennel Club Championship Shows this summer (2010).

Beau has subsequently won almost every class entered into since August 2010 and continued to be admired by many - new pictures of Beau coming soon!!

It is the aim of Popsuroz Bichon Frise to produce quality dogs, placed in quality homes for all-round quality of long-life.

Popsuroz Bichon Frise do not sell cheap puppies, or, puppies cheap, in order to ensure the quality of the commitment of the potential new owner.

Our puppies however do come vaccinated, socialised, micro-chipped and a basic level of obedience training backed up with compete after care and support - not something you get from a puppy farmer or commercial breeder!!

Popsuroz Bichon Frise are also registered by the Kennel Club on its Accredited Breeders Scheme meaning a minimum quailty of standards must be achieved and maintained - http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/

 

For 2010, we shall be introducing our first boy, Beau, into the Popsuroz Bichon Frise Show Team and will be offering him to stud for suitable owners of suitable bitches - not all bitches or owners are suited to breeding and in order to preserve quality of lineage, refusal may be a neccessity.

 

Puppies - We only very occasionally have puppies available and all enquiries for puppies should be made via our Contact Us page ensuring in the comments box you include a brief summary of your experience / knowledge of the Bichon Frise and why you are looking for a puppy.

Popsuroz Bichon Frise only sell puppies to suitably experienced / knowledgable persons in order to preserve quality of life for the dog - just because we may have puppies, does not mean that we shall sell them to the first person to wave cash under our nose.

Popsuroz Bichons are committed to quality and observe the Kennel Club Breed Standards closely.
