Valor.. well it was Valor's father that I wanted, but the breeder refused to part with him.
Instead she offered me one of his amazing sons that was the darkest red and super calm and affectionate boy.
We often comment that Valor could be Razz's son as they share so many ideal qualities
such as their dark red coat, jet black nose and pigmentation and also wonderful personalities
but Valor being 2" taller and 15lbs heavier.
Valor is so very loving, eager to please and such sense of humor when he plays "keep away"
usually indulging the younger poodles with letting them win. Valor is a bigger boy with substantial boning
and muscle mass, which is what I was striving for in my red program.
Valor finished his Championship and Grand Championship very quickly so he will be
working on his Obedience, Weight Pulling and Lure Coursing titles in 2013.

Valor's lines will continue on through his Progeny:
UKC Champion, Bijou's Sienna Rosso Tramonto, CGC, Animal Assisted Therapy Dog
UKC Champion, Bijou's 24 Karat Gold, S.T.A.R. Puppy
UKC Champion, Bijou's Fiamma Picante
UKC/CKC Champion, Bijou's Set the World on FireURO1
Multi Best Puppy in Show, UKC Grand Champion, Bijou's Gotta Lotta Faith, S.P.O.T., RATI, PT1, PTN
CKC Grand Champion, Bijou's Red Poppy from Reva

heartbreaking as it is to say "goodbye", I am happy he will have

~ August 2012 ~
Valor and Rose winning Total Dog Awards !!
To earn a Total Dog Award a dog must qualify in Conformation as well as Performance
Because of the degree of difficulty in doing this, very few dogs will ever earn a Total Dog Award
My Dream is to have a Total Dog Award on every Bijou Poodle
Because this would illustrate how intelligent and beautiful our Poodles truly are and
also the vast amount of time we share one on one with our Poodle family

Valor at 16 weeks (4 months) of age and 35 lbs

Valor's pedigree is a blend of the lines most successful in producing dark red puppies.
Valor hoped off the plane and instantly strutted around the airport acting like he owned the place.
Valor has a huge sense of humor and is always looking at ways to get us to laugh at his antics.
He is gentle, very affectionate and is comfortable in all new situations.
Valor is also exceptionally intelligent and quickly learned how to do tricks to earn treats
from each of his unknowing parents when they are in separate rooms (wise puppy)



This is a typical "Valor" expression, right before he decides to do something tricky

...
Look at that face ! Yes this puppy gets away with a LOT !!
