Finding Bichon Frise puppies for sale can be a lot like a modern treasure hunt. Since they are not usually among the top twenty most bred dogs in America, it takes patience and determination to find the puppy for you. You should skip any Internet site that sells puppies like Amazon.com sells books for the same reason you also should stay away from pet stores that sell puppies, as all of those puppies are from puppy mills. No self-respecting dog breeder would ever sell puppies to a pet store.
Begin to dig by looking for American Kennel Club or state approved dog breeders, preferably those who will allow you to visit their kennel or home in order to meet the other canine members of the family of their Bichon Frise puppies for sale. You can find these breeders online, from your vet, from dog magazines, from the AKC or the Bichon Club of America or from attending local dog shows and seeing who bred the dog you admire.
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.
Very rarely will a breeder have any Bichon Frise puppies for sale at the exact moment you are looking for one. Most breeders only have a few Bichon Frise puppies for sale a year. This will give you the time to get to know the environment the puppies are raised in and get to know the mother dog. You will be put on a waiting list and be subject to interviews by the breeder before being allowed to buy a puppy.
It's never been easier to find AKC approved Bichon Frise breeders. You can find them by attending local dog shows, by talking to Bichon Frise owners and even by asking your vet. You can also look through dog magazines, whether they are for all breeds or for Bichons in particular. You will also find them online. Be very careful with answering any classifieds in the newspaper or online. Sometimes people who haven't a clue as to what they should be doing breed these puppies.
Bichon Frise puppies should never be purchased from a pet store, as this only encourages puppy mill breeding. Bichon Frise puppy care includes good nutrition, regular grooming and quality medical care.
