Our passion for the Bichon Frise Breed goes back to the early 1980′s when my wife and I purchased our very first Bichon Frisé uppy for a family pet. I named him Cupidon. We had him evaluated at his first show when he was just one year old. The judges rendered their decision to me – “Excellent . . . providing merit to the Breed!” We loved the sport and the judges encouraged us to take him to more shows. Through training and dedication, he became an International Champion, Elite A. He was a very handsome, confident dog with unmatched charisma in and out of the ring. Although he went to Rainbow Bridge years ago, he will always be close to us, at heart.
Also in the early 80′s, we had another little dog named Cendrillon that we also showed. She had made several Excellent 1st’s, CACIB, CACS. We had our first litter and we kept for ourselves the very best female, named Eve du Mas de Mercués. Eve, who competed in numerous shows became Recommended, Champion of France and Champion International. By this time my wife became a professional groomer and handled all our Show Preparations. Show preparation is a lot of work and it takes her one full day to prepare three of the dogs for the ring.
We traveled all over Western Europe by train to the major shows and our dogs really enjoyed being shown as much as we enjoyed the sport. We decided to purchase another male Bichon Frise puppy, Goldfinger, who went on to become Champion (CH) of France, CH of Switzerland, CH of Monaco and Vice Champion of the World, Elite A. From his first litter, we retained the best female.
From a litter of Cupidon and Cendrillon came the male that my son named Guignol du Mas de Mercués. Guignol attained his Championship of France. We placed Eve with Goldfinger to obtain Higgins du Mas des Mercués. Higgins was equally charming, and as a result very successful in all his shows. He immediately took the Championship of France; after nationals, he became an International Champion and Champion of Monaco. We had many lovely Bichons including Nokaido, and by 2001 he too was titled Champion of France.
In 2007 we obtained another world class male, Azurs Honorable Man, who was immediately titled Champion of France and he captured several Best in Breed titles straight away and continues to capture BOB titles (career total, 10) at each show entered. He is derived from the finest breeding stock in the world and in 2009 he was named the Grand Champion of France—the Best Bichon Frisé Champion Overall in France. He has held that title since a few years and has been undefeatable, always winning with Premiere Excellence. He has natural merit and beauty and performs “TOPS” at every show that we attend. He offers 26 multi-tier champions in his immediate background, some of which have titled up to 55 times Best of Breed along with multiple Best in Show titles. His multi-champion line offspring are indeed some of the finest quality examples, within the Bichon Frise Standard in the world today. Therefore, each puppy’s pedigree contains a combined total of approximately 45 prestigious multi-tiered Bichon Frise champions.
During the past 35 years I am proud to say that I have received many awards from multiple organizations for my years of quality contribution and dedication to the Breed as a Dog Breeder. With much respect for the Breed and the Bichon Club de France, which I helped to pioneer years ago, it was during this time that I began to be recognized internationally as a Master Breeder and Handler and was featured in numerous articles.
It is from this multi-champion line that we are pleased to offer you the prettiest World Class Bichon Frise puppies. Our Bichon Frise dogs grow toward an adult size of 26-27cm in height (10 ¼ – 10 ½ inches), the petite size, considered to be an important element of success within the Standard of
our Breed.
I hope that you will have the opportunity to experience the love and companionship of our Bichons.
