Available Dogs (cont'd)

Some additional info and pics on our available dogs...

REIGN (CH. Brighthope Free Reign)

After much thought and consideration we have decided to place Reign in a new home. Reign will make a great family companion and would be a very good candidate for obedience work.

Reign will be 4 years old in May, he is a Canadian Champion and he is still intact. He has sired 2 litters here at Brighthope. You can view more pics on Reign's page and in our photo gallery.
If you are interested in an adult dog contact us and we would be happy to have you come and meet Reign.

LEWIS

We have a male puppy from the Allure x Reign (Jan. 2012) litter available.
Because this breed is still relatively rare here in Canada, we always keep a male and female from every litter so that we can assess them more closely. We really can't fit Lewis into our breeding program, so we have decided to sell him.

Even though because of his age Lewis is "all legs" right now he is a very nice little boy. He is very calm for a young puppy and extremely affectionate. He loves his sticks just like his daddy Reign and he gets along very well with all the other members of our pack. He is a real sweetie and I'm sure he would love to cuddle on your couch.

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.

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.
