| BICHON REFERENCES |
This is by far the best little Bichon we have ever
had!!!! (We are a little biased!) She belongs to
Lizbeth, our grandaughter!! These are some pictures
of her and Prissy in the local 4H Animal Show. She
won first place! She really strutted her stuff and
won the crowd and judges over! When it was
Prissy's turn to go to the judges, she did the normal
little bichon buzz and couldn't get enough petting!
Liz was so excited when she won. Prissy is the love
of her life and Lizbeth of Prissy's! Way to go Prissy
and Liz!!

To Peggy Martin, I just wanted to know how much we love our Ruby. In just two weeks She and Pearl are already close friends. Pearl goes to
Ruby's crate in the morning and get so excited until I open the door. This is a little "story" that I sent to all of our friends and family, along with
the accompanying picture. Thank you Peggy for picking such a wonderful puppy for us. We feel so blessed to have so much love from these
two Bichon's. linda
Hi, just thought I would drop you a line and tell you how my life is going. I was born the Martin Ranch in Mason Texas November 16th 2005.
There were two of us left to be adopted from my family. My sister was quite a bit bigger than me, and we were anxious as to who would go
"first" (you know sibling rivalry). Two families had deposits on us, the first who were to show up on January 12th were to have "first
choice"........apparently the "other" family had to go to a very important wedding in Denver and could not come and claim either of us until after
January 14th. Well I got a bath and and all cleaned up on January 12th just certain that I would be the first to go......my eyes were shining, and
tried to stand on my tippy toes to look just a little bigger......I was unfortunate enough to have the beautiful sister with the
"long-legs".......apparently the first family likes "legs"......so I was left to wait for the family that just had to travel instead of coming to pick
me.......I was told that if they did not like me that they would have "first choice" on the next litter.....well, you can imagine how that made me feel!
Like leftovers.
The day came.....would I be accepted, or not? My bio-mom drove me to a town that I was unfamiliar with so that the family (who is sooooooo
busy and could not come earlier) could get a look at me. I again had a bath, tried to add a little hop to my walk and thought........if this does not
work.....uhhhhh, don't want to think about it.
Up drove the big white car, ......well they already had a big white fluffy dog.....there must be some mistake......what are we here for? Exchanging
receipes? Oh-oh, big white dog has a HUGE fluffy tail, it is in a downward motion, not good.......it is raising......it is up in the air! She is
coming towards me.........(hope she is not hungary!) she is "smelling" me......excuse me, I just bathed........her tail is up and going back and forth
very fast.....I think she is like "big bird", very large.......but friendly! She wants to play! She is jumping over me (oh, please don't land on
me!)........she is very, very careful.......here she comes again, but she keeps jumping over me......maybe I am bigger than I think! Then "the lady
with the white car", picks me up......ohhhhhh, she smells like the big dog! I like that smell! She has lots of teeth (hope she is not hungary
either)........she is talking really soft to me.....I always liked that. She has noticed that my hair on my head is beige, not like my body that is
white......why she likes the "contrast".......hey never thought of that! I am a two-toned bichon.......who now is referred to as "a contrasting
bichon".......what kind of mumbo jumbo designer talk is that? OK, she also noticed that my nose "has not closed" (is not all black like it is
supposed to be).........but hey! It works! OK, it works! I could smell you lady and you smell like your big white fluffy dog (which I like), but
I cannot let you know that.......what if you don't like me? Lots of talking, lots of talking......even the big dog is in on the talk, and they are not
talking TO me......this looks like I will be going back to the ranch and hanging out all alone.................... Ah-Oh, I am being held very close by the
lady with the big teeth......she is touching my nose with hers (her nose isn't "closed up" either).....she made a command to the big white dog, and it
jumped right up in the back seat of the big white car......just laying there staring at me............oh, God, I hate this rejection thing. Both my
bio-mom and the "lady" hugged, I was placed in a really neat carrier with my own toys that had the smell of by sister and brothers. ........and
placed in the White CAR! Oh Lordy! THE Day has finally come.....!!!!! I have been "PICKED"! Sooooooo sleepy.
Well this must be it! This must be my new home.......where I belong! I woke up this morning......(not before keeping my new mom up most
of the night......potty, scared, missing bio-mom, etc.) But it is a new day, Big fluffy dog is very, very happy to have me in her home, she is so
much bigger than me, but is very kind and gentle, even shares her toys, lets me eat first and nuzzles me all day! Ok, who is this! The biggest
feet I have ever seen! He sleeps with the lady with the big teeth.....and he has the biggest feet I have ever seen, he is picking me up and looking at
me, God! his teeth are bigger than the ladies! He is making a gutorial sound that travels from his belly to his teeth........he is holding me very
tender......curious for such a big creature......he must be "top dog", there is one in every family, you know. The other white fluffy dogs is
delighted to see this creature with the big teeth and feet, she is even sitting on his chest as he lays down......hey, that means white fluffy dog is
"top dog"!
Here comes "lady" she is laughing too,.......this is a very laughing family! She is greeting the big fluffy white dog, and now is greeting me.......then
greets the big teeth/feet creature.......perhaps "she" is top dog? Hell, I don't know who "top dog" is in this family........but it is just that ........my
family! love Ruby

He is an absolutely wonderful dog we would not know what to do
without. He is an important member of our family! He makes my
husband and I smile everyday. We named him Puff and he certainly lives
up to his name! When he goes to the groomers, he has the run of the place.
Thanks to your family for bringing such a wonderful dog into our lives.

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all the time you spent with us when we came to pick up our
new puppy. (shown left). I was very concerned about choosing the right dog for our family, and using the right
breeder (avoiding a puppy mill). You truly made the process easy for us. It is obvious that you have been
running a ranch for 40 years, and that you genuinely care about the animals you work with. I was also impressed
by the fact that you really have a feel for each puppies personality traits, ecspecially since they are only eight
weeks old and they all looked alike to me.
We have gotten two other dogs from breeders in the past. Neither of those breeders were willing to show us
where the puppies were raised, or the method they used to potty train the dogs. Your dog runs aren't fancy, but I
really like the fact they are very clean, air conditioned and heated. All the puppies seemed to be energetic and
happy. We also noticed a number of "retired" friendly dogs wandering around and it was comforting to know that
you do not put a dog "down" just because he has gotten older. You obviously love and care about all the animals
you work with.
Thanks again for all your help. We love our new puppy! The kids named him Buddy because he will always be
their special pal!

These puppies are the greatest things in our lives. We enjoyed getting these puppies from Peggy and going to the ranch.
Peggy helped me pick out my bichon to fit my personality. Regina didn't and her puppy is a little mischevious (puppy on
the left)!! Thanks for this great puppies!
Charlene and Regina
These puppies were purchased by two friends after seeing one of our Bichons at the groomers.

ours.

Peggy, It was great talking with you. Please let me know that you received this picture.
Ruthie and Missy were adult dogs we adopted for my 85 year old mother. They were obviously loved
and well cared for by the Martins. They adjusted beautifully to their new home and the good life they
were promised. Peggy Martin is a loving caretaker of all her dogs. My family will forever be indebted
to her for allowing us to adopt Ruthie and Missy!

Thought I would send you a pic of "Max". He is absolutely
precious and spoiled rotten. He sleeps with me at nite and we
only had one accident. He got his last series of shots Friday
and weighed in at 5.8 lbs. Clay,.his brother, and Max go
together to get their shots. I kept both last Sunday afternoon
for about 5 hours. They played til they were exhausted and
my house was totaled!

Hello Peggy and Sammy,
Just wanted to say hello and let you know how much we love our newest addition to our
family. We have named him "Louis" (full name - Monsieur Louis Vuitton) and he has already
almost doubled in size. We are absolutely in love with him. He also quickly fell in love with
us and became comfortable in his new home.
Peggy, you picked the perfect puppy and any concerns about his not being able to "hold his
own" have been proven unnecessary. He is a very robust little boy and runs circles around his
new sisters and brother. In fact, he and our 2 year old Eethan follow each other everywhere
and are truly best friends. Before having Louis, we had said that we would never allow pets
on the furniture or to kiss/lick us on the face, but he is just SO cute, he pretty much goes
where we go and does what we do. We are also in the process of potty training him, and he
does go in the house daily at this point, but he is so lovable and cute, we can't get too upset
with him.
In closing...Thank You! Louis is the perfect puppy and we are thankful to have him in our
family. Take care of yourselves...
Sincerely,
James and Marium Steele

Peggy,
Thanks for your phone call back last night.
I will call on the 28th to confirm the noon appointment for the July 29th plan to pick up "Mac"
for Dianna's sister. She will be with us, from Utah, Ogden area.
He will deffinitely be an indoor pampered pup. They live in a townhouse close to the
mountains. Her husband is retired and they have grown children and active grandchildren that
come to visit quite frequently.
She is naming him for McClintock the John Wayne movie that is one of her favorites. She
thought John Wayne, JW or Duke were kinda big and just didn't fit.
Best Regards,
Dianna and Ron Bracken

Hi Peggy!
Here's our darling at 3 months!! He got his first haircut. I actually
bought a video on grooming a bichon, and since I can cut hair I
thought I'd do it myself. He looks quite good actually! He is so smart
and sooooo good! He weighs 6 lbs. 13 oz. (at 8 weeks he was 4 lbs).
His vet is opposed to neutering him till he's 6 months old, says he
won't have the muscle growth he needs as a male dog... what does your
vet think of that?
Thanks!
beverly
Here's Rowdy waiting for his treat!!! I love the intensity in his
eyes and body. He always sits and waits, don't even have to ask him to
sit anymore.

Peggy: I had to tell you this. I only realized today that
Rowdy and Tyler have the same parents (Martin's Main
Man and Peggy's Sandy Girl). Rowdy has been so
beautiful, smart and loving. I'd say this combination of
parents is a winner!!!
side x side comparison-- see why we picked Tyler?! Oh
JOY, double the cuteness, double the love!!

Peggy,Joe and I were very impressed with your facility when we picked up our pup.
When it was time to take her for her next scheduled shot, the vet asked where we got
her. He said he has seen several of your puppies and was very impressed....what a
compliment to you ! I hate to tell you this, but when we decided our pup need a little
sister, we checked around for something a little cheaper. Well, we saw some very
un-sanitary conditions. Our feet stuck to the floor at one place. We decided that it was
well worth a little more to get a healthy dog. We also appreciate what you do with the
puppies to get them ready for a new home. Thank you for our little "Izzy", and we
look forward to picking up a "little sister" for her. J and A Loosier Georgetown, Texas
