Daisy & Dora are our 5 year old Bichon beauties, we had hoped to home these sisters and besties together but no one has offered and seen it through. If you have another relaxed dog and prepared to give them TLC please read on.

Used for breeding and sold on to another breeder as business has slowed. Passed around like rubbish it has made our girls nervous and untrusting until they know you.

Thankfully Fiona was able to rescue them. Fiona has nurtured them and given them confidence and care for weeks until finally they will soon be ready for their new home together.

They are best of friends and would love to be homed together but also can be homed separately. Not cat tested. They get on with other dogs also. Our girls will need someone home most of everyday, children aged 10 plus. They need someone to give them the time they need to relax and trust, secure garden.
