It's Never Been Easier Finding Bichon Frise Puppies For Sale By Mary A Stevenson At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Bichon Frise dogs were very popular in the 1980's in America, along with breeds like the Shar Pei, called "Yuppie puppies". Unfortunately, in order to cash in on the fad, Bichons were often bred in quantity rather than quality. This can make for a dog that looks like a Bichon, but is snappish, unhealthy and hard to train. Because the genes of these dogs are still in the national Bichon Frise genetic pool, it is especially important where you go in looking for Bichon Frise puppies for sale.

Let's first start off by listing the places you should never go to for Bichon Frise puppies for sale. The top of the list is a pet store. They get all of their puppies from inhumane puppy mills, where dogs are treated as merchandise and not feeling things. Don't believe it if you are told a certain pet store never buys puppies from puppy mills because that's a lie. The next places you shouldn't go to are puppy mill auctions. These exist rarely in rural areas. You might think you are saving a dog, but it only perpetuates puppy mills.

There are legitimate Bichon Frise breeders who do advertise on the web, so not all of the web sites with Bichon Frise puppies for sale are scams or backed by evil puppy mills. A legitimate website will often have you fill out a lengthy application rather than just ask for your credit card number. Often, they only have puppies for sale once or twice a year, instead of year round.

Bichon Frise puppy care is a lot easier on your nerves and your vet bills when you go for a puppy from a breeder rather than a pet store. A puppy from a breeder will have beginning training lessons, will have beginning shots and often the parents will have health certificates proudly displayed. The breeder will also take the time to get to know the puppy in order to match the best Bichon Frise puppy to your personality and lifestyle.

There are Bichon Frise breed rescues in almost every state in America. They won't have little Bichon Frise puppies for sale, but they will have healthy, mostly trained, mostly sane Bichons ready for a home. They often will be spayed or neutered, saving you that expense. The rescue volunteers take the time to know each dog in order to match him (usually a him) to your personality. With adoption, you will uncover lost treasure, indeed!

Even after you have met with a breeder, dig deeper within yourself to see if you can handle the time, responsibility and stress of a young puppy. Bichon Frise puppy care is very similar to the care of a young child. Do you really need to put up with the mess, the frustration, the mischief? If you are thinking of starting your own Bichon Frise kennel or if you want to show, then you don't have any choice. But if you just want a good animal friend, then perhaps you should dig elsewhere.
