Let me welcome you to
Astarte Kennels Bichon Frise and Boxers' website!

Astarte Bichons Frises and Boxers were established in 1972 in Phoenix, Arizona where I showed my dogs in the South West and California for over 25 years. We moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1996.

We are a small family show and breeding kennel, devoted to the betterment of the breed and striving to help new owners achieve success in the show ring, as well as with their family pets. We are not a puppy mill, breeding puppies for a profit. I do not sell and have never sold my puppies through pet shops, dealers or on listings for puppies you may find on the internet.

All our babies are born in our living room and are well socialized, not leaving home until they are ten weeks old. You are welcomed, and encouraged, to visit our home as often as you like while your puppy waits to go to his or her forever home.

My puppies are guaranteed for one full year and I reserve first rights, for return of the puppy to me, if for some reason you can no longer keep him or her. I will provide testimonials from past puppy buyers.

Please contact me by email at dnewkirk@whidbey.com or call me at 360-331-4270 (Pacific Time) about our upcoming litters. We love to talk Bichons...

Bichon Frise and Boxer pet and show potential puppies, as well as older dogs occasionally. I can ship if needed.
