The Advantages Of Puppies From Bichon Frise Breeders

by Mary Stevenson

There are many advantages of getting your Bichon Frise puppy from a Bichon Frise breeder rather than a pet store. Bichon Frise breeders spend lots of time on only a few puppies, making sure they are healthy and properly socialized. Pet store puppies get very little attention and are stuck in cages at the time of life when they should be getting training. And, most importantly, Bichon Frise breeders are not puppy mills.

If you really have your heart set on a Bichon Frise puppy, then you can make life a lot easier for yourself and the dogs by getting in contact with a Bichon Frise breeder. You can find them through the Internet, by going to dog shows, through recommendations from other Bichon owners in your area and sometimes even your vet. If everyone stopped buying puppies from pet stores, then this inhumane practice could be stopped. What’s inhumane about buying a puppy at a pet store? Plenty! First off, all puppies in all pet stores are from puppy mills.

Perhaps you once had a Bichon Frise, a Poodle-like toy dog that is becoming more and more popular. You should get your next Bichon Frise from a Bichon Frise breeder. A Bichon Frise breeder will offer a lot of little extras that no other pet store or even an all-pet animal shelter can. This is because he or she can spend a lot of time and effort on just a few dogs ? or at the most, a few dozen ? and gets to know their temperaments and quirks. In this way, you can be matched with a Bichon Frise puppy that is most compatible for your personality and lifestyle.

One of the best things about getting your puppy from a Bichon Frise breeder is that you get to meet Mom. You may also get to meet Dad and even aunts and uncles. Genetics makes up a lot of how a puppy is going to behave in the future. When you can see what kind of dogs the puppy is going to be springing from, this will help you select a puppy wisely. You will be reassured that the puppy is healthy, sane and being well cared for.

Always buy from a reputable Bichon Frise breeder, because buying a puppy at a pet store only helps to perpetuate the inhumane and barbaric puppy mill system. In a puppy mill, dogs are treated worse than battery hens (and there are even laws to protect battery hens, now). Dogs are never taken to a vet, as that would cut into the profit margin. They spend their lives in crates and only come out to breed. They often spend most of their lives sitting in their own excrement.

The puppies bred in this condition are often sickly, have behavioral problems and often aren’t purebred. There is no legal overseeing group that makes sure a dog is a purebred. Anyone can fill out whatever they darn well like in pedigree papers and no one checks up on anything. Bichon Frise breeders not only will sell you a healthy, behaved puppy but one that is pedigreed. They also are great sources of accurate Bichon Frise information throughout all of your Bichon dog’s life.
