CIRON

CH. SHIREOAK THE MIDNIGHT STORM
Feb. 26, 2004- Sept. 23, 2017
We said goodbye to Ciron.
He went with dignity, grace and style. Just the way he lived his doggy life. He had a presence about him that people who met him commented on and other dogs understood. He was the best ambassador for the Blue Picardy breed and he set the bar high.
Many thanks to Dr. Alison Jones and her staff at Alma Street Animal Hospital for their care and compassion.
Walks in Picardy Park will never be the same ever again.
Rest well Mr. Ciron, rest well.

WHAT A GREAT DAY

The weather was perfect. The dogs were fantastic. The owners are a wonderful bunch of Blue Picardy lovers.
The 2017 Brighthope Blue Picardy Picnic was a success. Dave and I love seeing our baby Blues come home.

A beautiful group

The one and only Ciron

AVAILABLE PUPPY

We have a male puppy available from our current litter. He is 9 weeks old and ready for his new home. He has received his first vaccination,  his microchip and his healthy report from the vet. His litter is registered with the Canadian Kennel Club.

Contact us here at Brighthope for information about this puppy.

PICARDY PARK IS FAMOUS

When we asked our visiting grandchildren what we should do, they both replied "we want to go to Picardy park". I have received many emails over the years with people asking about visiting Brighthope and meeting our dogs and strolling in Picardy Park. It is a great place to our dogs to run and a safe place for our grandchildren as well.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year from Brighthope.
May 2017 bring you peace.

A BEAUTIFUL BRIGHTHOPE SUNRISE

WINTER

Brighthope, the morning after. Picardy Park truly is a WINTER WONDERLAND. Now we just have to find the gates to get into it.

GROWING PUPPIES

Once again I comment on how fast the time goes when one is watching a litter of puppies grow. This litter is so even in size and temperaments. I am sure that their new families will be thrilled when they finally get to take their puppy home.

"AUNTIE KIM IS HERE, AUNTIE KIM IS HERE"

LOT'S OF SMELLS TO CHECK OUT

WE MUST KILL THIS STUFFY TOY

WASN'T THAT A PARTY !!

A tired group of baby Blues. They ran and played and cuddled and hugged and when everyone went home they slept and slept and slept. We love "puppy parties".

WHERE'S THE CUTE BUTTON

TWO WEEKS OLD

Puppies enjoying some sunshine and a warm breeze. Just too cute !!

NEW BRIGHTHOPE PUPPIES

Our beautiful Eclat has once again given us a lovely litter of Blues. She is such a good mom. Of course Travers played a part in this as well, he just doesn't know it.
Puppies were born on Wednesday September 14. Of course when you want more of one gender you always seem to get more of the other. But we have 4 males and 1 female and all are doing just fine and they will grow and mature into beautiful Blues. I think we have some very excited families waiting to meet them.

ECLAT AND TRAVERS PUPPIES SEPTEMBER 14, 2016

OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED

Unfortunately we will have to cancel the open house on August 27th. Please contact us here at Brighthope about puppies or future litters.
We are always happy to answer your questions about our dogs.

BRIGHTHOPE PUPPIES

We confirmed that puppies are due in September. The ultrasound showed 4 but there could be more. These puppies would be ready for new homes in November.
We are planning an "open house" on Saturday August 27th from 10am - 1pm. Please email us if you are planning on coming.
Here are pictures of the sire and dam of this litter due.

MORE BRIGHTHOPE BABIES

Here is beautiful Calais, from our most recent litter. She is a Lyle/Arine puppy born on November 22 2015.
Her owners sent me a lovely email and described life with Calais. By the sounds of things she is a typical Blue Picardy.

CALAIS AT THE COTTAGE

Looks like Calais is going to enjoy her summer. The water looks lovely. Great picture.

HUGO IS HOME

HAPPY ENDING
Hugo was reunited with his owners last night. He was missing for about 30 hours, that was a long 30 hours for his owners, and likely even longer for a 5 month old puppy.

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

MISSING PUPPY

Hugo is missing and we need to get him home. He lives in Cambridge Ontario, he was visiting family with his owners in Moffat. He broke his collar and ran. This is a rural area with lots of bush, he has been gone since yesterday afternoon. If you live in the Guelph, Milton, Moffat area of Ontario please keep your eye out for this little fellow. He is likely very frightened as he is in an area not familiar to him.

HUGO, MISSING BLUE PICARDY SPANIEL

BRIGHTHOPE BABIES

As I have mentioned many times we have met lots great people through our 30 years of involvement in purebred dogs. We love placing our puppies into great homes and we also love getting up dates and pictures as they grow and mature. Many times our puppy buyers will come back and get a second and even a third dog from us. When Ramsey needed a playmate her owner contacted Brighthope and requested another Blue. We were more then happy to place another puppy with them.
