A gentle kennel, in the Eastern Townships.
Nine years, two breeds, and one rule: never more puppies than we can carry in our arms.
It all began with Rosalie, our Bichon at heart.
Rosalie was never meant to have a litter. She was simply our dog, gentle and easygoing, following my daughter Camille from room to room. It was our veterinarian who, after two years of spotless health screenings, suggested she deserved to pass on her temperament.
That first litter taught us the essentials: a puppy held every day, rocked, used to voices and small hands, grows into an adult who moves through life without startling. That isn't something you improvise — it's built one hug at a time, from day one.
Nine years later, we still raise our litters in the house, never in an outdoor kennel run. They're born in a quiet corner of the living room, our puppies discover the hallway rug before they discover the world, and we know every one of them by name, by scent, and by their little quirks.
Two breeds, and nothing else.
We don't diversify. Knowing two lines well beats skimming over eight.
Bichon Frisé
A little white cloud, playful and deeply attached to its family. Its curly coat sheds very little — a real relief for anyone sensitive to fur around the house. It gets along well with gentle children and seniors alike.
Good to know: it needs regular grooming (roughly every six weeks) and doesn't do well left alone for long stretches.
Coton de Tuléar
Originally from Madagascar, known for its coat as soft as cotton. Sociable, a bit of a clown, it adapts remarkably well to an apartment or a large home, and loves children and other dogs alike.
Good to know: its long coat needs frequent brushing to prevent tangles; some individuals have an endearing streak of stubbornness.
Both breeds are often described as "hypoallergenic" because they shed so little. That isn't an absolute guarantee — no breed truly is — but many families sensitive to allergies tell us it makes a real difference. We always recommend a visit before reserving if that's your situation.
What we screen for, and what we guarantee.
No mating takes place before both parents have completed the screenings recommended for small breeds. Certificates are handed to you directly — never just "available on request."
Kneecaps and heart
Orthopedic patella (luxation) exam and cardiac auscultation on both parents, before mating.
Eyes and teeth
Annual ophthalmologic exam and dental follow-up — small breeds are more prone to dental crowding.
Genetic panel
DNA testing for hereditary conditions known in both breeds, to avoid pairing two carriers.
Two-year guarantee against serious hereditary conditions, provided in writing. Replacement or refund, your choice.
Come meet us before you decide.
We welcome families by appointment, even without a firm plan. You'll see where the puppies are born, meet the mothers, and ask every question — even the difficult ones.
One piece of advice, even if you don't adopt from us: be wary of a breeder who suggests meeting in a parking lot or refuses to show you the mother. It's the most reliable red flag there is.
