Euro Bichons
Euro Bichons (www.eurobichons.com) is the international website designed to support anyone who owns, breeds or is simply interested in the Bichon breeds of dog.
Once a visitor to the site has registered as a member, they can access several different areas covering such topics as advice on care and breeding and information on puppy sales. There is also a lively message board.
Members of Euro Bichons have the opportunity to participate in fundraising for the long term welfare of the Bichon breeds. This is carried out through the Trinity K9 Puppy Health Foundation set up and managed by Mrs Karen Clark-Stapleton. One of the projects currently being supported is the appeal for new equipment by the Ophthalmology Department of the Animal Health Trust. This equipment that will be used to continue their very successful work in the removal of canine cataracts, an affliction from which, sadly, the Bichons breeds are known to suffer.
