We have seven little puppies who are 5 weeks old! 4 girls and 3 boys.....I will add pictures later tonight. This is a large litter of pups, their mother does a great job with them. We have small, 2 mediums and one big Bertha ha ha for the girls and one small and 2 mediums for the boys.
Our puppies are well socialized and very loving. That is a standard for the breed - if a Bichon puppy isn't loving when you pick them or squirms to get out of your lap.....there is something wrong. If they don't smell clean, if you can't meet both parents.....there is something wrong.
Generally, the smaller puppies will be less than 9-10 pounds, medium between 10-12 pounds, and the big ones - if fed carefully (they are hogs) will stay under 14 pounds. The is a good range because we have been breeding for almost 15 years and can predict their sizes with measured feedings.
On the show front, Bichonfans Prince Wallace ( call name Wally), will return to the circuit this summer thru the end of the year.
