Pavlov asked his mom to write on his behalf as he is busy
playing in the yard and barking at the neighbors dogs!
Pavlov is a happy little fellow very anxious to please and
adores everyone. He is a popular young man especially
at puppy training. He gets on with the other
puppies and is doing well with behavior training. He
graduated from Puppy 1 class and is now in Puppy 2 class
after Christmas he will advance to Basic Training.
I have had no trouble house training though I
understand small dogs can take a long time. Pavlov
runs in to let me know when he has done a poo and then
shows me where it is so we can clean it up! He is the
best behaved dog that I have owned and the most loving.
I hope that all your Bichon's are doing well and that
hopefully a new litter is on the way.
Greetings from Redwood Country,
Sile, Kim and Pavlov
Good evening,
Hope this finds you both doing well. I saw the
picture of Anton, he is just adorable.
I can't believe that CoCo had 4 females and 1 male. Texas
is very lucky to get such special puppies.
We love our Daisy more than I ever thought possible and Bob
is right there with me.
Grandma and Grandpa(Bob's parents) would love to keep her!
NO WAY! They love her ALMOST as much as we do. She is good
therapy for them.
Bob and I just can not say thank you enough. We feel very
lucky to have found you both. I am hoping we can get there
for a visit soon.
I would like to find the name of 2 books if you don't mind.
One is on dog breeding, the other one is the one I believe
Logan's owners told you about.
I want you to know our Daisy weighs 11 lb's 4
oz.
Thank you
Bob and Marsha
Hi Matthew and Patricia,
We've been following your news and looked at the last
litter photos as they grew and went to their new homes,
very wonderful looking pups! Also, congratulations to
Einstein for all his wins.... Zari is very proud of her
"Papa". We will try to show up at one of the local dog
shows, either Petaluma or San Rafael in August/Sept.
Zari is doing great, she's been going to puppy classes at
the Marin Humane Society for about 3 months; it's unclear
who is learning more, she or us!. She knows a lot of
commands and seems to be developing a lot more confidence
as time goes on. We love her to pieces and she has
developed a very fun and loving personality. We're
enclosing some photos of Zari at various ages and the most
recent after her grooming last Friday. She's 7 months
today, can't believe it.
Hope you and the pack are all doing well. We'll be in touch

Pavlov is settling in
beautifully here in Redwood country! When he has had
all his shots we will send you a photo of Pavlov under
a giant Redwood tree. He had a nice trip to Live
Oak where he enjoyed meeting our friends, and they were
enchanted with him. He sleeps well at night in his
crate and has had just 2 accidents which I put down to a
disrupted routine. I get up at night to let him out
so that he can go potty. Currently he is playing quietly
with a toy he stops every now and then to explore. He
has "asked" to go outside to go potty which is very
good. He is adventurous, but responds when I either I
or my husband say "no".
He is very well socialised you did a wonderful job he shows
no timidity. Thank you for letting us adopt him
he is a treasure. We will keep you updated on his progress.
Best wishes,
Sile and Kim
Good morning,
Well, we have made it. Daisy has made herself
comfortable and right at home, in her new home. She is
happy and very playful. She is definitely our little
explorer! She is bouncy and very responsive. She is
eating well, and goes to her crate when tired. We also have
a bed for her in the living room. She plays with all of her
toys and of course her best friend is the Bichon puppet.
She was introduced to Bob's parents yesterday and of course
they wanted to keep her.
I can not say
thank you enough. We could not be happier and both of you
deserve so much credit. Patricia and Matthew you are
amazing people. Thank you for sharing.

Bob
Hi Patricia and Matthew,
Congratulations to Einstein! We have been meaning to write
to you sooner, but I always get side tracked. We just love
Bella (Angel) She is just so sweet and of course cute!! I
am sending some pics for you. Charlie and Bella just look
so cute together. He plays with her until he has had enough
and then lets her know, leave me alone... You were right,
Bella does look a lot like Coco. We are so happy and we
love her so much. She just had her shots and now
weighs 4.5 pounds.
Congratulations to Estee! The puppies look so
cute!!
Love,
Rick Jan Jake Gina Charlie and Bella

Dear Matthew & Patricia,
We absolutely love Lucca (Gaspar) and Roxie (Gloria). They
have brought us
so many laughs. They are very smart and quick to learn new
tricks. The 2nd
week we had them they had learned to sit and shake hands
for a treat.
Lucca and Roxie have had 2 visits to our vet now. She has
pronounced them
healthy and doing great. Lucca continues to weigh 2
lbs. more than Roxie.
We would highly recommend you as breeders to anyone.
Thank you for taking such care in raising wonderful
Bichons.
Jack & Nan
I attached some of our latest photos of
Bijou for you to take a look at. He is the greatest
dog and is loved by everyone who meets him.
Thanks,
Lisa
Hey Matthew,
Hops has been with us for a month now and it has been too
much fun!! He had his first check up with our vet
last week and received a clean bill of health. Potty
training has been no problem at all. 90% of the time
if he has to go he runs straight to the back door and gives
a good bark to get our attention. Oh... Hops was
sitting on command about 2 weeks after bringing him
home. The guy plays hard for a few hours at a time
and then puts himself to bed. We are grateful to have
met Matthew and Patricia, as well as the dogs. I'd
recommend them to anybody interested in a bichon
puppy!
I attached a picture for you two to laugh at. Thanks
again Matthew and we'll be in touch.
-Sammy
Matthew,
After meeting Patricia and you and seeing how you take care
of the puppies and the rest of the gang, the love and
passion you have for the Bichons, the knowledge, I will
definitely recommend anyone looking for a Bichon to you
both...
Thank you.

Patricia and
Matthew,
From the moment
she entered our house, Peaches knew she was home! Not
only did she settle in beautifully, but Teddy (our 1 1/2
year old Bichon) has become her new best
friend!
They are inseparable! Just today,
they were both sitting on a mini-dog couch next to each
other sharing and chewing on the same piece of
rawhide. It was adorable! Peaches follows Teddy
around constantly.
And Teddy watches over her to make sure
she's not getting into trouble. Her new favorite
napping place -- under the couch! I have to attribute
her easy transition to our home to both of
you!
The Bichon puppet worked wonders and
helped Peaches feel comfortable and relaxed on her very
first night. She is a bright, vibrant little puppy
who has forever won a place in our
hearts!
Thank you so much for all your wonderful
guidance and help. We particularly appreciate all the
time you spent with us providing background information on
the puppies and giving us advice on Bichon
care!
Even Teddy has benefited already from your
advice!
We are so
thrilled to be a part of your extended Bichon family and
look forward to keeping in touch!
Warm
regards,
Patty, Caity,
Teddy, Peaches...and the rest of our menagarie!!
Hi Matthew and
Patricia,
Well it's been
over a week since we brought "Bijou" (our puppy
formerly known as Prince) into our home. He has done
remarkably well and
has fit right in with all of us girls and
Mike too.
Thanks for sending the Bichon puppet
home with us...it has helped with his transition into our
home. Bijou loves his puppet and
often carries it around with him,
not to mention wrestles with it
daily.
Crate training is going extremely well...
only one accident.
Bijou loves to snuggle under the blanket with the girls at
night while they read or watch TV. He is a very
intelligent puppy and is already playing fetch
with balls and
bones.
We have all
bonded with him already and can't believe how much joy he
has brought into our lives. He has the sweetest
disposition and is a great addition
to our family. We took him to our
vet today for a check up and he got a "clean bill" of
health.
Thanks for all
the care you take in raising your
Bichons!
Sincerely,
Lisa, Mike, Paige &
Sara
P.S.-Here is the
latest photo.
Here are a couple of pictures of Rocky at the lake after a
swim and another picture taken when Cindy and Dylan and
Rocky came over to visit the new puppies of CoCo and
Merlin.
LISA
After my 5 year old dog passed
away from a serious illness I needed a companion for my
cocker spaniel. I was looking for a healthy puppy when my
vet called me and suggested a Bichon Frise puppy. When I
saw Matthew's wonderful litter at my vet's clinic (they
were there for a regular check-up), my mind was made. I
fell in love with a breed. I wanted the smallest female
puppy and I got it. We named her Lisa because of a strong
resemblence with an Arctic fox. "Lisa" in Russian is a fox.
Loving, affectionate, healthy and happy dog makes our life
fulfilling and joyful. Bichons are very "heavy duty"
dogs, trimming and grooming are required and some
committment is necessary to keep the dog in good shape. I
do trimming by myself and my puppy is the most beautiful in
the area. Lisa brings so much fun and joy to our family.
She is a healthy and happy dog. Thank you, Matthew.

MATTY
I have to say, you and Patricia
breed wonderful Bichons. Matty was the smartest in his
class, and I'm not just saying that. On graduation day,
they had a procession where the owner and trainer walk down
the aisle. Matty stayed at my side and sat immediately upon
command. Other dogs had to be bribed with doggie treats to
do the same thing. We love Matty. He’s sweet,
playful, bright and has a personality twice his size! Every
morning Matty wakes up cheerful and has even won over the
heart of our other dog, a finicky Chihuahua mix. Matty was
one of the top two of his puppy training class of eight and
has been given a clean bill of health since our initial
visit to the vet for a checkup.

Dear Matthew and Patricia;
Just wanted to take a moment to drop you a few lines to say
how pleased and enthused I am about what you have done to
promote your chosen breed. The results I have seen with the
Bichon Frise puppies you have produced are simply great!
When I think of you, Matthew, I think of carefully crafted
thoughts, words, and sentences AND equally carefully
crafted little Bichons.
Keep up the good work and best wishes for the future.

The site looks great. Thanks for including our
Oliver's picture. We have enjoyed him
immensely. He is such a fun dog and great addition to
our family. He is also very good with our grandsons
who are very active; infact he moped for a couple
days when they returned to San Diego after having been here
for a week. He fit right in with the two and three year
olds, but he also fits in well with adults and makes them
laugh. Thanks for a great dog!!
Janice
We just wanted to let you know that Belle is doing
GREAT!!!
Princess
and Belle are realy enjoying each others
company.
She
sleeps through the night and is doing great with her potty
training. She went for her first boat ride Sunday and
even got in a swim!! We are both enjoying her very
much and want to thank you for letting us adopt
her.
We will send
some pictures soon. Thanks for the pictures you sent
us.

Dear Patricia
and Matthew,
We managed to keep Athena a secret until this morning after
all the gifts had been opened. Christian unwrapped dozens
of presents for Athena and kept talking about when he would
finally be able to see her. We had wrapped a cowboy hat box
and set her inside right when we were done opening
gifts and presented the box to Christian. When
Christian removed the top of the box to see her, he
couldn't speak. He picked her up and held her. I said
"Christian say something" and he just started to cry.
Athena just cuddled up into his neck.
They have been inseparable, he even lays down with her
until she falls asleep so she can get enough rest. I can't
thank you enough for all the joy you have brought us this
Christmas!
Fondly,
Pam
Good Morning
You may be surprised to hear that Dion slept five and a
half hours straight. We woke him up when we got up to
go -- and so I placed him on his wee-wee pad and he went
also. However he thought it was play time and not
sleep time, but he went back to sleep in about an hour.
He is a great puppy, and we thank you so much.
Pastor Bill
Einstein had his last checkup for a while and
our vet is very, very happy with him. He said he couldn't
ask for a more perfect puppy! He was impressed with his
temperament, how smart he is and how healthy. He is almost
2 lbs lighter than Bailey.
We decided to not neuter Einstein. We would love for him to
make beautiful Bichons before we let him retire. It would
be a shame if we didn't. Everyone always comments on how
wonderful he is.
He has been spending a lot of time with Aaron specifically
and you can tell how much Einstein loves him!! But he also
loves to rest his head on my shoulders and truly
snuggles... That is sooo cute!! Aaron said he is a chick
magnet!!
All our Best!
Yvonne and the Gang
Dear Matthew,
Max ( Hermann) is doing fine--He loves everybody and is a
bundle of joy--doesn't like to be alone too much and is
getting on somewhat of a schedule--The whole outside potty
thing is still a challenge --but he gets the whole paper
thing--only one or two accidents-and they were definitely
more our fault. He's a cutie and is well loved and
cared for.
Fondly,
Kathy
Hi there!
We are just loving our new family member. He did very well
last night, just got up with him twice and he only cried
for a few minutes. He is so sweet and very playful! we will
keep you posted on his progress. Thanks for the pictures,
very cute.
Happy New Year
Cindy & John
Chandler and Ernest are doing well -- weighing around 12
(Chandler) and 13 (Ernie) lbs
now. Although they are not swimming at the beach yet, they
are truly
enjoying San Diego and such joys! Ernie is clearly the
larger one
--stocky, great looking, can probably show well and
Chandler is the
lover, sweet, and loves to be held often!
Best,
Renee
