Miss Abigail -
 the tiny 6 week old waif who started our love affair 
with Bichons and  together with Henry inspired the first 
of the 10  books  “The Bichon Bug”.
She was a delightful diminutive dictator - a true Bichon.
Henry the Hero -
he was bought as an 8 week old puppy to be a companion
 for 1 year old Abigail.
From day one he adored and looked after her.
He deterred several burglars from adjacent properties -
hence he became known as Hero Henry.
Tilly -
the baby - she came to us as a 20 month old very nervous
 - non stop barking - youngster.
She learnt to be less afraid of big dogs due to Chas always
checking them out first - now that Chas has gone she is
having to make her own judgements - if in doubt hide
behind daddy! May  
Archie is now helping her smile again!
Chas -
the little Irish puppyfarm character we didn’t want!
He was a terror indoors but the perfect homechecker
for Bichon Rescue and he became a much loved companion.
 He helped to rehome more than 200 bichons locally
 and was a fearless guardian of Dylan and Tilly.
Dylan -
 the perfect Gentleman - came to us as an “unplaceable”
 10 year old due to an extremely bad heart condition
 and bad legs. The vets gave him 18 months -
 but he kept smiling with us for 5 years and 3 months :-)
