MACKILLOP

Breed - Bichon Frise Puppies Available

About MacKillop Bichon Frise MacKillop named after Australia’s First Saint… Mary MacKillop. My name is Renee Strathearn and I have been owning, raising and breeding Bichon Frise for more than 20 years. At MacKillop Bichon Frise, my goal is simple: to produce healthy, well-adjusted puppies that exemplify the affectionate temperament, intelligence and joyful personality that make the Bichon Frise such a treasured companion breed. My breeding philosophy is guided by a principle I have followed for many years: “Start the way you want it to end.” This applies not only to breeding decisions, but also to puppy raising, socialisation, training foundations and the selection of suitable homes. I believe the best outcomes are achieved through careful planning, consistency and a lifelong commitment to each puppy’s wellbeing. As a Registered Nurse with more than 25 years of experience across adult, paediatric, Special Care Nursery settings, I bring a strong understanding of neonatal development, health monitoring and early care. Combined with my scientific background, this experience has shaped my evidence-based approach to breeding and puppy development. Every breeding is carefully planned using pedigree research, DNA health testing, temperament assessment and bloodline analysis. I utilise quality Australian and imported bloodlines and place significant emphasis on health, sound structure, stable temperament and genetic diversity. We aim to breed Truly Saintly Bichon Frise…. Everytime!

Breeder's Notes

Each puppy will also go home with an individualised puppy profile pack, including photographs, health records, developmental milestones, feeding and care information, and practical guidance designed to make the transition to their new home as smooth and stress-free as possible. I am committed to responsible placement and carefully consider the suitability of prospective homes. My responsibility to each puppy does not end when it leaves my care, and I remain available to provide guidance and support throughout the dog’s life. If circumstances ever change, I encourage owners to contact me so that I can assist in ensuring the dog’s ongoing welfare. As a Dogs Queensland registered breeder, I am proud to be part of preserving and promoting this wonderful breed. Whether my puppies become cherished family companions, therapy dogs, assistance dog prospects or beloved best friends, my goal remains the same: to give every puppy the very best start in life and to place them in homes where they will be loved, valued and cared for throughout their lifetime. The MacKillop prefix was chosen in honour of Saint Mary MacKillop, Australia’s first saint. While no puppy is perfect, our goal is simple—to breed truly saintly Bichons every time.
