The reason
you chose to get a Bichon Frise dog is because you do not want a “run of the mill”
type of pet. You want a true blue pedigree pup with that extra oomph in their
personality and temperament. So why would you go with a Bichon Frise breeder that
is any less? There are many people who make just that kind of mistake. They are
particular and selective in what breed the want, but are careless in their choice
of breeder. Mileage proximity of the kennel and cost are of bigger concern than
the quality and reputation of the business. And sadly, for many breeders it is
just a business. They do not have much personal contact with the animals and know
only minimal information about the breed. Try asking a pointed question and you
are likely to get a “cue card” response.
Because of the uniqueness of this
breed, it is important to work with a quality Bichon Frise breeder so you come
away with a bright, energetic puppy who has already begun to socialize and become
familiar with people and dogs. The breeder is really the first human your baby
will have contact with. With such a list of Bichon Frise breeders, it is quite
understandable you would want to be very sure of your choice. And any breeder,
especially a Bichon Frise breeder, that does not respect and/or expect your pickiness
should probably be crossed off the list.
The Diamond In The Rough
Technology
today has made virtually every piece of information available to everyone through
the internet. You could pull out the phone book, blow the dust off the top and
creak open those probably rusty pages. Or you can hop online, find a search engine,
and get to browsing. Many web sites do offer a list of Bichon Frise breeders,
but the majority of these sites do not conduct any interviews or inquisition of
the breeder. Which leaves the task up to you.
Some professional organizations
can be of assistance in locating a Bichon Frise breeder in your area. You can
contact the American Kennel Club and Bichon Frise Club of America Inc via phone
or email. There may even be a local Bichon Frise club near you.
Another
way to find a quality Bichon Frise breeder is to attend a dog show, preferably
one by the American Kennel Club. Talk to the owners; they will most certainly
know a good breeder, or even have a litter themselves. You can also contact veterinarians
and pet boarding facilities for any possible references.
Making a list
of possible Bichon Frise breeders is the first step. Paring down that list until
you have found “the one” involves just as much, if not more, of your attention.
There are some key factors to consider and look for that will help you know how
to choose the right Bichon Frise breeder. But it will be more than worth it
when you are cuddling your warm, happy Bichon puppy.
