Reign / Allure Puppy

We have a 10 week old male puppy from our January litter that is available to an approved home. He is a quiet little fellow and he loves to cuddle. He would be a great family companion. Contact us here at Brighthope if you are interested in adding a Blue Picardy to your family. We are always happy to talk to you about our breed.

GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN

Spring is in the air. We know that, not because the sun is warmer, or the snow is melting, or some of the spring birds have returned, we know that because the Brighthope boys have become a bit more amorous as of late. So, it was time for a girls day out in Picardy Park. Marne, Allure, Eclat, Arine and Justy took full advantage of the warm sunshine. They played for almost an hour and this is the only picture that I managed to get all five of them together. I guess they really just wanted to have fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CIRON

Ciron turned 8 years old today. He was the first Blue Picardy to take up residence here at Brighthope. The only puppy from the Dani/Sam breeding he was nicknamed Johnny in the whelping box and is still referred to as Johnny Ciron by some of his friends. His breeder Kim Spelmer and I knew that he was a special boy from the start and he proved us right. His presence alone demands respect from all our Blues ( well except for the girls (at times) but that is a whole different blog). He still thinks he is a lap dog when visitors come to meet our Blue Picardies and everyone always comments about his great temperament. Some folks have asked us if we ever place some of our older dogs in new homes, the answer is "at times". But not "this time". We will be celebrating many more birthdays with our beautiful boy Ciron.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT

PICARDY PUPPIES LOVE THE SNOW. The Reign/Allure puppies are now 7 weeks old and no amount of snow or wind was going to keep them from exploring. Can't wait for their first run in Picardy Park. What a lovely group of puppies from this breeding. It won't be long before they will be heading to new homes and hearts.

Puppy Love

Arine found her spot.
For some reason the new members at Brighthope have always found Dave to be a good sleeping partner. No need for a blanket on a chilly winter evening when a Blue Picardy can keep you warm.

Let sleeping puppies sleep.
I took a chance with this picture. When you get 9 five week old puppies all sleeping you don't blow it by flashing and clicking cameras. But I could not resist with this shot.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
