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.)~BREEDING FOR THE TOTAL POODLE~
Health ~ having low COI's and passing all conclusive Health Testing, breeding only dogs in top conditionBrains ~ Each Poodle has or is working towards a WORKING Title, which means breeding with a PURPOSE.
Temperament ~ breeding only calm, stable, sweet natured, Poodles to maintain our world famous reputation for breeding great poodles
Looks ~ Having Correct Conformation (according to licenced Judges) & CHAMPIONSHIPS all while improving coat colour through experience
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.
Our Standard Poodles are members of our Family and are raised in our home.
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 may have a litter 4x a year.
On ocassion we have facilitated our Co-owners helping us with raising a litter under our supervision.
By having Co-owners we benefit by seeing our years of planning come into fruition & "hopefully" our next ~Total Dog~ to be born.
Our co-owners benefit by being able to breed without the many stressors associated with breeding out on their own with no support.
We ensure each of our litters has the individual attention and necessary Sensory Stimulation that they need by using our
Puppy Raising methods, which we have spent years developing and using. Our many References and the fact that our pups have been
placed in the Lion's Seeing Eye Dog Foundatioin as Seeing Eye Dogs, attest to the fact that our methods are successful
in raising loving, calm, well adjusted, confident pups who are eager to learn and to please.
Our Puppy people enjoy watching their puppy grow & mature with WEEKLY clear Photos and EXTENSIVE Videos
of their puppy, their puppies entire litter, of mom with pups and even mom and dad with the pups (because they have that great temperament).
Our puppy people will also get a DVD of all the photos we have provided to them online, to take home with them in their Puppy Package.
We want our puppy people to feel very involved in their puppy's life from conception, until the day their puppy comes home.
Our puppy people can see first hand, how well adjusted, confident, happy and of course healthy our pups are, WEEKLY.
Of course because we are a home and not a kennel facility
this means that if someone is interested in a puppy from us, they may have to wait up to a year.
On occasion we do get cancellations because one of our puppy people had a family crisis,
or our own inability to send a puppy home. In this case we will display any available pups on our Available Puppy Page.
Although we accept Puppy Applications 24/7 this is only so we can get to know you
and address any questions or concerns we may have for you well in advance of puppy availability.
Although I would love to see everyone benefit from owning a poodle, this is not always the best breed for someone.
In that case I will let a person know and explain why I have concerns and also make alternative suggestions that I hope might be helpful.
I want every one of our puppy homes to be "forever" homes where they will be fully appreciated and a welcome family member.
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
We wish an Application to be filled out to see if you would be an appropriate owner for one of our precious pups BEFORE we go any further in the process.
We have put together this web page How to Purchase a Bijou Standard Poodle Puppy for you to view the process.
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.
Our Poodles moms breed, give birth and raise their puppies ~Naturally~ to ensure the best, strongest health of our pups.
Our mothers are such great sweet natures that they involve everyone in their joy of raising their puppies, including the Dads.

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.
You can read about your Puppy's Development from conception to birth on a special web page we will

Our pups are born and raised in our home in our Nursery Room next to our Bedroom.
I am right in the pool with them from the moment the mom starts having her pups until she is done
having her pups, to offer her support, aid her and keep her clean and comfortable and make sure each puppy gets the best
start on life. I also document every stage of each of our puppy's lives so that Puppy owners will feel totally involved
and begin the bonding process. I want our puppy people, to feel involved as if they were right there with us and their puppy.
I have the cleanest, best Nursery area in our home, for our pups to properly develop
emotionally and physically, healthy and happy.
During the course of the pup's development we practice Early Neurological Stimulation also known as Biosensor Stimulas with our Pups.
Based on years of research, the military learned that early neurological stimulation exercises could have important and lasting effects.
Their studies confirmed that there are specific time periods early in life when neurological stimulation has optimum results.
We do 5 excersises that include: Tactical stimulation (between toes), Head held erect, Head pointed down, Supine position, Thermal stimulation
After a few weeks the pups and mom are introduced into their Puppy Box so they can begin toilet training.
Our pups will 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. Your puppy will come "Paper Trained".
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.
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 are very Ethical, Reputable and Conscientious, Breeders
who have spent a lifetime continually learning and earning 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 can't properly care for 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, parisites 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.
our Dog Show set up
Most weekdays after work, we are doing training with our dogs.
On weekends we are usually at dog shows, performing various Dog Sports,
hoping to do well enough to achieve a Working or Conformation Title
as proof of our dogs having the proper Structure, Temperament, Intelligence and Health
to be worthy of being reproduced. You can read more about Why is Bijou Poodles is so Busy, here.
Dog shows are usually the best place to meet up with us and it is
also a good opportunity to see our dogs at work and also their personalities outside the comfort of their own home.
We 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 are also hope all our Puppy People will keep in touch with us and share their Puppies accomplishments.
We hope to encourage and motivate our Puppy's families to do this by offering a cash Incentive
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 poodles are NOT the same as ours
as we are not all breeding for the same qualities, purpose, looks or temperament.
Bijou Poodles are more robust, courser, thicker, more muscular Poodle
than what you would typically see at a dog show as we expect our Poodles to Work and also to Protect.
Our Poodles make excellent jogging partners and are athletic and healthy enough to do any acivity with you.
Our Poodles that live with us and the parents of our puppys have never had bloat or torsion.
WE are talking over 20 years with no health issues typical to the Standard Poodle.
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.
