BIJOU STANDARD POODLES
OK, you paid your A $200.00 non-refundable deposit. You will eventually be sent a web page containing information on your upcoming litter and
you will see your name on the list securing you a puppy by way of colour and sex that you said you wanted.
After we receive your non-refundable deposit will we send you a confirmation email.
You will not hear back from us until we have a puppy prospect for you.
If you have any questions along the way, do feel free to email and ask us.
Deposits are "non-refundable" should you change your mind about getting a puppy.
This means you will loose your $200.00 if you cancel your purchase of a puppy.
Deposits help breeders be assured someone is serious about their purchase.
When we receive 4-6 deposits on a litter we start turning away a lot of interested people,
your non-refundable deposit will compensate us for additional expenses and time that a cancellation causes us.
Bijou Poodles reserves the right to keep one of their puppies, which would then be 1st pick of the litter.
Selection or picks of the litter would follow in order of deposits received, after our selection.
As deposits are received, your first name and last inital and your location
will appear on your puppy's litter web page in the order for which your deposit arrived.
All our puppies are beautiful, socialized and happy-go-lucky by the time they are ready to go to their new homes,
IF we feel that for what ever reason we do not have what you are looking for we will let you know.
We will post videos and photos weekly of the pups for you to view.
Pups will be selected by us by 5 weeks of age based on what you told us on your application that you were looking for.
Pups are to be fully paid for including Shipping by 4 weeks of age. This is to ensure everyone is still very serious about getting their puppy.
In the event that we do not have a puppy born for you that you put the deposit on (litter, colour, sex, pet and or breeding purposes),
your deposit will be ~ fully refunded ~
Bijou Poodles reserves the right to refuse to sell to anyone and at any time at our discretion.
Once the pups are born and after they are selected Here is an Example of what you will see:
Red Male Red Collar to Julie and Roy B. - Mississauga, Ontario
Red Female Pink Collar to Michael P. - Ottawa Ontario
Red Female Gold Collar to Ken N. - Richmond, VA (Willing to travel to pick up)
Red Male BLUE Collar to Jonathan P. and Elenna M. - Toronto, ON
Red Male Sold to Marta K. - Encino, CA (Picking up in Toronto, ON)
Red Male Sold to Tara D. - King City, ON (picking up)
Red Male Sold to Jackie and Chris S. - Mississauga, ON
We spend hours a day with our pups to ensure all of our pups are of equal confidence and socialization
we conduct BIO-SENSOR conditioning, exposing puppy to various surfaces,
smells, handling and other stimulus, each having a positive outcome.
This way your puppy will be desensitized to most environmental sights, sounds, smells
and puppy will instinctively react confidently to all new situations and experiences.
It is up to you their new PACK LEADER to continue this expectation and to build on the solid foundation that our pups go home with.
Puppys will change an adapt when introduced into their new pack (your home)
as their new "pack" will have different rules and expectations than what we have.
No amount of evaluating or puppy testing will change that.
We will not give you a false sense of security by providing this trendy tool,
because it is of no value beyond the moment.
Our poodles adapt and will fit in to that new environment whether your household
consists of a quiet single person or a house full of kids.
Basically you will get more of what you already have ...
as that is your family's norm (pack norm) and is the behaviour that you allow and encourage to happen.
With clear, consistent rules and praise, your puppy will continue
on the path we have set out for your puppy (even before conception), to become a great canine companion.
You can read more about what you should be doing to continue our building a confident puppy, at the bottom of our
Puppy Development Page
Our Puppy Owner's Manual and our Obedience Page introduces you to our concepts and explains our commitment and success,
in providing well adjusted healthy, happy puppies, to families around the world.
Our Reference Page is also testament that our Practices work.
When the pups are born will will announce this on the Web Page we have set up for your Litter.
At this time we will also announce on that web page the exact date of shipping or day of puppy pick up.
Click here to see what we do after the pups are born.
If we do not have the puppy you wished (ie Colour, Sex, Pet or Breeding quality by our opinion) we will send you a refund via paypal ONLY
if we do not have a puppy that you put a deposit on (by way of colour or sex).
Unfortunatly you will have to work around "our" schedule for puppy delivery dates as we have to coordinate
Transportation to airport, Flights, Vet for health certificates, plan around our job and plan for puppy baths.
We also only ship Mon-Friday not on the weekends.
Puppy must be paid for in full including shipping if applicable at 4 weeks of age.
Please do NOT pay me before the pups are 4 weeks of age. Reason is that Paypal only allows a full refund within so many
days of purchase, and if something happens and I have to refund, you will loose the portion of your payment that paypal keeps.
If puppy is not fully paid for by 4 weeks of age you forfeit your puppy and your deposit.
~ USE THE SAME WEB PAGE THAT YOU PAID YOUR DEPOSIT WITH ~
We will "try" to update photos and video every week, on the Litter's web page, for you to see the pups mature.
(Click to see an example on this web page)
At 5+ weeks of age we are usually VERY busy with the pups so we have less time for photos and contact.
We will "TRY" to arrange a visit date but this is not always possible because of my work, Visits to the Vet, Grooming, Trips to the Airport
to ship the pups out to their new homes, and of course the dog shows that we are at on the weekends.
At 6-7 weeks of age (depending on when the pups wean) we will take the pups to the Vet for a full medical check up.
If at that time anything wrong is discovered, you will know immediately and get a full immediate refund of an unhealthy puppy.
IF the Vet discovers an embilical hernia, dewclaw regrowth or anything that can be "corrected", is corrected and paid for by us.
On ocassion their may be a tiny hernia that my Vet feels will correct itself with maturity alone.
Our pups will also be spayed or neutered at this time.
We have done our research and we are paying for the proceedure to be done at our Vet with us assuming full risk and cost.
I want to assure you that Bijou Poodle pups are clean, healthy and raised as house pets
and there is a HUGE difference between a puppy raised the way we do with daily Stimulus, Interaction, Training, Cleaning SEVERAL times a day
and a puppy raised on a farm, barn, or even in the house in an ExPen in the living room, pee'ing and poo'ing where they eat, creating "dirty" puppies.
When you pick up your Bijou Poodle puppy you can take that puppy right home to play with other animals and small children because they are that clean and healthy.
The Veterinarian inspection and the clean bill of health we receive called the "International Health Certificate" attests to this fact.
At 6 weeks of age puppy gets another Groom and their nails clipped again.
Puppies are to go home at around 7-8 weeks of age, depending on when mom weans the pups.
The date of pick up will be posted on your puppy web page as soon as the pups are born.
Pups need to be in their home for the imprinting/bonding as soon as possible.
We do not wish to board our pups beyond the pick up date for that reason.
Please review our tentative go home dates prior to committing to a purchase from us.
...
At 6-7 weeks of age puppy receives their first vaccination of
Vanguard DA2MP
Which Vaccinates against: Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (gives cross immunity to Adenovirus Type 1 Hepatitis), Parainfluenza, (MLV) Parvo
Your puppy will also receive a full groom again and be Microchipped.
At 6 weeks of age "WE" will arrange ALL shipping and send you the booking information (waybill number) and a web page for tracking.
IT IS UP TO YOU TO VERIFY THE WAYBILL NUMBER IS CORRECT !!!!
Shipping is $350.00 (in North America subject to change) and includes an International Health Certificate,
Up to date Vaccination and deworming and a Cage that you keep
For more information about shipping please read our Shipping
After we book the shipping, we will send you the information which you can track here Cargo Tracking
as well as the flight information to verify by clicking on Flight Schedule
you should also register for *change of flight plans notification
so that you will be notified automatically if flights are delayed or cancelled.
We ship out of Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) with Air Canada Cargo Mon-Friday
The day of shipping you will go to the airport with ID and waybill number and pick up your puppy.
You will need to go to the "CARGO" area listed on the Air Canada web page Cargo
Please keep in mind that Cargo area can be 2 miles away from the airport, so make sure you know where you are going a head of time.
Customs or Cargo may have a fee of $25.00 - $50.00 which they may prefer you to pay for with debit or visa or cash, be prepared.
It takes 30-60 minutes for airlines to unload the puppy so do not worry about being exactly on time to pick puppy up.
Matter of fact I always show up 30 minutes after the puppy is supposed to arrive and I still may wait a few hours.
You would be wise to bring a book or computer, something to entertain yourself with while you wait.
You should always sign up for flight notification or check the flight status before heading to the airport to pick up puppy.
The Cargo people will either hand you your puppy, or hand you paper work to clear with customs and then you return to pick up puppy.
Customs and Cargo may not be in the same location. They may be miles apart. You may also have to pay for parking and also
park a distance from where you will pick up your puppy. You would be wise to bring a "cart/dolly" with you to put the puppy's cage onto
to transport the puppy and the cage, to your car and or to a safe area to let the puppy out to potty.
Puppy will not be "leash broke" so you will be carrying puppy and they get heavy after a while...
Your puppy will still be wearing their Ribbon and their colour Ribbon will also be tied to the handle of the cage
and front of the cage for easy identification. On top of the cage you will see a white paper with both your and my contact information
this is again for easy identification and to avoid ANY miscommunication or mix ups.
EMAIL ME THE MINUTE YOU GET YOUR PUPPY !!!
It takes 30-60 minutes for airlines to unload the puppy so do not worry about being exactly on time to pick puppy up.
Matter of fact I always show up 30 minutes after the puppy is supposed to arrive and I still may wait a few hours.
You should always sign up for flight notification...AND...check the flight status before heading to the airport to pick up puppy.
Make sure to program the number in your cell phone before you leave your home, as well as program my email address
into your phone to let me know that you received puppy and all is well.
I can't tell you how many nights I have stayed up waiting for people to let me know and then the next afternoon or later
I get an email from people !!! SERIOUSLY... I don't sleep until I know each and every puppy arrived safely so PLEASE
drop me a text or email ASAP to let me know puppy is safe and sound !!!

When you go to the airport you may wish to bring garbage bag(s), clean newspapers or blanket, lysol or baby wipes, bottled water, dish
poop scoop bags, tin food single serving, disposable spoon, camera, cell phone, directions, my email address.
This is in the event that puppy messed in the cage (rare, but depends how long of a flight) you can do a quick tidy and offer puppy some water.
Do not feed the puppy before you drive home as puppy may be sick in the cage. Instead offer them a Busy Bone or Pedigree Denta Stix for them to knaw on, during their journey home.
I am unable to ship food with the puppy so make sure you have some food ready at home
that you are going to feed, or bring some tin food with you to offer the puppy, depending on how long the drive home.
You can bring some tin food single serving from the vet (for upset stomachs to be on the safe side) or from the petstore...
something easy to digest. Tin food will have moisture and help hydrate the puppy
along with filling that empty tummy. I don't reccomend giving hard kibble before the drive
as puppy will be nervous and may be sick as a result. Pups need water..but they can wait for food.
Remember what goes in must come out 20-30 minutes later so plan on a potty stop, if you feed your puppy
before driving home from the airport.
...
You keep the cage (size 26"L x 18"W x 18"H) is the cage size you need for Puppy's first day
and the size that puppy will be shipped to you in and as was included in your shipping fee.
You will find a collar and leash, Puppy Package and Registration underneath the puppy in the cage.
Your puppy will be sent to you in "spotless" condition. However their cage can be next to other "critters" so
make sure to look them over and feel them for any ticks or fleas that may have hopped on board.
We do not have ticks or fleas so if you wish to treat your puppy we have put together this web page:
Vaccines and Parisite Control.
Puppy arrives with a "starter" collar and the yellow microchip ID tag on it. The collar was first put on the morning of shipping
WE do not put collars on our pups before this time, as it is dangerous. Other pups will chew it off and hurt each other with swallowing
or strangling the puppy wearing the collar.
When puppy is first put outside, you may see puppy scratching at the collar (he does NOT have fleas) but is irritated by the new sensation around his neck.
If you wish to test if scratching is just due to the collar ...just take off the collar and you will see scratching stop.
Puppy is NOT leash trained so if you try to walk puppy on a leash, you will have a bucking bronko.
The leash and collar are JUST provided to give you some control over puppy while you allow them to pee on a grassy area
after picking them up from the airport....you would not believe how fast a puppy can run when you least expect it !!
Make sure to toilet puppy as soon as you can. Even if cage is dirty they will still have to go as they will hold it
as long as they possibly can. These are clean puppies and they will be very upset if they have messed in their cage.
Puppy will be hungry when you get home or the opposite and not eat.
When your new Standard Poodle puppy first comes home, s/he may not eat too much for a few days.
DO NO PANIC/ This is, in part, due to the change from our home to yours. It is also, and maybe more so,
due to the fact that the puppy now does not have the competition of it's brothers and sisters beside him/her at the feeding bowl.
Do not worry, the puppy will begin eating normally.
TO avoid stomach upset you may wish offer Softened kibble
This will also be like comfort food to a new puppy.
If you are picking your puppy up at our home, you will need a cage (size 26"L x 18"W x 18"H) or lap, to transport puppy home.
Puppy comes with every document and things you need to cross the border and to keep puppy comfortable.
*Click to see an example of our Puppy Package and also take a minute to read The Bijou Difference for more detailed information.
It is up to you to fill out the Registration Papers into your name and mail in. This is contained within your puppy package
If you are flying in to pick up your puppy to fly home with you in the cabin, then you will need a Sherpa type soft cage
that will fit under the plane's seat. You will also need either newspapers, pee pads or newspapers to line the cage with.
You "may" also need 2 dishes that can attach to the cage (tie wraps)
We have had MANY people choose to fly here to pick up their puppy and there have been no problems flying their puppy home.
Cost to fly with your puppy in the cabin is usually an additional $50.00-$125.00 depending on the airline with Air Canada being cheapest.
We prefer our people to get the soft carriers as they are larger in size. For Air Canada their sizes for under the seat are these:
Hard-sided : Height: 23 cm (9 in) x Width: 40 cm (15.5 in) x Length: 55 cm (21.5 in) such as Petmate Kennel Cab Fashion Series
Soft-sided: Height: 27 cm (10.5 in) x Width: 40 cm (15.5 in) x Length: 55 cm (21.5 in) such as Deluxe Medium Sherpa Bag Pet Carrier

We know you may be frazzled and after picking up puppy may have a zillion questions
I know you will want these questions answered quickly and probably not between 9-5pm so
I put together a web page called NEW PUPPY to address the most common concerns we get.
Of course I am always available via emails and I will answer within 24 hours
but this web page may just answer your question without delay.
