with Bichon Frisé* - Abigail, Henry, Dylan, Chas, Tilly & Archie.

in Eastbourne on the south coast of England.

*Bichon Frise are small, friendly, curly coated, non moulting dogs.

The much loved and admired Miss Abigail was called to her maker on 27th January 2001 but her memory will forever live on in our hearts and in our books - which are lodged in the 6 National Libraries in the UK as well as in homes all over the world. Miss Abigail's companion Henry joined her on 15th June 2004. Our dear rescue gentleman Dylan joined them on August 3rd 2007.

On 21st February 2010 our wonderful ambassador for Bichon Rescue - dear Chas - left us to join up again with Abigail, Henry & Dylan.

 

"Joan’s series of books are so well written - they convey the character of the Bichon."
said Jackie Ransom - herself author of many definitive Bichon books and world expert on Bichons.

The BICHON BUG was written in 1996 as a “one off”  but quickly found an appreciative audience all around the world who have demanded another book every year.. . And Joan has been happy to oblige until there are now 10 books.

Now in it's 14th year 
  *The Bichon Bug*

These are light hearted books relating what it is like to live with Bichons - they are NOT books about training Bichons rather how Bichons train US!
