How To Choose The Right Bichon Frise Puppy

A few years ago Pepsi ran a national advertising campaign, urging soft drink lovers to take the taste challenge between their soda and Coca-Cola. Millions joined in this mock debate; quite a coupe by the Pepsi. Since then, many other companies have copied this well-oiled and proven strategy to boost the sales of their products.

There is much more that goes into choosing a Bichon Frise puppy than your favorite caffeinated beverage. This pup will become a member of your family for the next thirteen to fifteen years. Much time and consideration was given to which breed you wanted to invest in. There is probably a myriad of reasons why your eyes, and heart are fixed on the Bichon Frise. As puppies, they look almost like tiny stuffed animals. This adorable feature, along with their delightful temperament is very appealing. You were drawn to this particular breed; you have sailed that hurdle and are now ready to choose your Bichon Frise pup.

“You Have Chosen Wisely...”

How exactly does one look at those precious little Bichon Frise puppy faces and pick just one? Are there any proven, secret ways to tell which pup is destined to be yours? There are sure to be books, articles, and web sites that can offer suggestions and tips.

Despite what some people may tell you, it would be unwise to allow the Bichon Frise puppy to make such a big decision. You are not a Jedi Knight and neither is the pup; The Force is not going to guide him or her to you. Puppies that are the first to charge are often mistakenly looked at as sociable. While this can be true, it is usually a sign of more brash and aggressive behavior to come. The “shyer” Bichon Frise puppies that stay to the back are passed over. You want to get a feel for each puppy. Give everyone a shot.

Be very aware of how the litter, as a whole is acting. If the majority are behaving aggressively, or very shy chances are you are dealing with an inexperienced breeder who was not very careful in selecting the parents. If mom and dad are good natured and have delightful temperaments, their children will be the same way. Bichon Frise puppies should be bouncy and happy; eager to explore the new person or people that have entered their home. If they are stand-offish and aloof, their social skills are not being developed properly. This breeder has been very lazy and irresponsible.

Ask to spend some quality with each available Bichon Frise puppy. The on-on-one interaction will give you a much better sense of the pup’s individual personality. Try shaking your key chain or snapping your fingers; does the puppy seem scared of shy away? Does he or she immediately begin to investigate the noise? What is the tail action like? Is there wagging, or is it tucked under the legs? Think of a wagging tail as how a dog smiles; wagging is good, tucked is not.

One last decision you need to make is to decide if you want a male or female Bichon Frise puppy.
