i really want a bichon frise puppy but cant afford to pay hundreds of pounds, where can i get one for little money of free at all, i live in london
Flat out, do not get one from a pet store. These puppies are often ill and come with poor social skills and a steep purchase price. Look for a breeder or rescue.

for a Rescue: http://bichonrescue.org/
Breeders and rescues care for the puppies personally and give them the best care possible. Rescue dogs are often older, but significantly cheaper. Breeders, however, may ship to anywhere in the world that they please, so you can get a puppy from California and have him shipped to London if the breeder is willing to do this.
If this proves to be too expensive, you may also consider asking your local shelter for any bichon mixes. But please remember, people put in a lot of time and effort to create the proper looking/acting Bichon, so you won’t find a purebred for less than a few hundred dollars anywhere you go.
