How on EARTH do you pronounce the breed Bichon Frise?
I've heard diffrent pronunciation of it, which one is it???
1 Bee-Shawn Phrase
2 Bee-Shawn Fray-Zee
3 or other?
PS, do you see my picture of me and my dog, or is it a just grey head like I'm seeing? (I'm new)
I've heard number 2 pronounced on the movie Shrek 2 and by Regis and Kathy Lee years ago (Kathy Lee owned some)
I've heard number 1 pronounced that way on the show Animal Cops and Groomer Has It.
I'm getting a Bichon for $100 because the owner is finding it hard to own two dogs, plus small kids.
She told me that she the person that she got the dog from when she was 3 months old said that the puppy was originally $700.
That first owner was moving and re-homed her for $150 apparently.
I can't get her until she is finished nursing her current puppies.
She seems like a great little dog.
The owner isn't a breeder, she was just told that she should let the dog have puppies before spaying, so she mated her with a Shih Tzu.
I chose the mother over the pups because she is already house broken and obedience trained.

(just a grey head - you need to select 'Edit my Info' in your Answers profile page, and then under picture, select 'use my Yahoo! 360 picture' - and you must successfully set up your 360 account in order to upload the picture you want to use)
good luck
