Breeding the Best to the Best!

All my puppies are registered with the Canadian Kennel Club.

Welcome!

Hi, my name is Kathy Martin, and I am a proud Bichon Frise breeder with more than 15 years of experience. At Purejoy Bichons, all my pups are raised in a happy and healthy environment that will help them seamlessly adapt to a new family and household. All my puppies are registered with the Canadian Kennel Club.


I serve clients in western Canada and Washington USA. Contact me for more information and I will try to get back to you as soon as I can.  Currently I am dealing with a huge influx of inquiries so if I don't get back to you in a few days it's likely I don't have any puppies available.

How It All Started

I started in the Bichon Frise breeding in 1992 after buying a Bichon puppy for my son who has a disability. I soon discovered that I had purchased a puppy from a show dog breeder. I decided to dive into the show dog world to compete with my puppy. He did very well, and he was able to get his Canadian Championship.


After 2 years, I acquired a little female Bichon puppy. After obtaining her Canadian Championship, I decided to breed my first female Bichon. Many years later, I've bred multiple litters of quality puppies. Being a registered nurse has helped me tremendously in my breeding practices.  All of my breeding dogs have Canadian and American Championships. Some of my dogs are top winners in the show dog world both in Canada and the USA.  


I breed dogs according to the highest health standards, and I follow health recommendations for the Bichon Frise breed.

Biography

After working for 40 years as a registered nurse, I have finally retired to spend more time with my family and devote more time to the sport of purebred dogs. I spent most of my career working in the field of mental health at BC Children’s Hospital. I love showing my dogs at the dog shows in Canada and the USA and getting together with friends I have met along the way. 


I live in Burnaby, British Columbia with my husband, a retired teacher, and my son who has special needs. My other children are grown and have moved out to live on their own. We enjoy spending time at my cabin on the Sunshine Coast during the summer season.
