Bichon Frise for Sale
If you are looking for a reputable Bichon Frise breeder, who, in your opinion, can offer you a purebred Bichon Frise for Sale, you must be fully familiar with criteria, according to which a reputable breeder must be chosen. There are lots of Bichon breeders in the world, but not all of them can provide good quality services. Many so called breeders are not actually breeders, but “puppy brokers” or “puppy mills”, who regard dog breeding as a kind of business activity, and their motivation has nothing in common with that of responsible and conscientious breeders.
Good breeders do not breed for profit, and they never deal in more than one or two breeds. They do not consider breeding as a way of gaining income, as it is the well-being of their dogs, not their personal affluence, they strive for. Responsible breeders never sell their puppies randomly, and they scrupulously select their potential clients. Good breeders have documents and certificates proving their membership in breed clubs and sanctioning the participation of their Bichons in major dog shows. They never place any Bichon-Frise-for-Sale newspaper announcements, because they simply do not have to, as they have a stable circle of clients.
Good Bichon breeders are open about the breed and usually share all kinds of information on the breed with their future buyers. They do their best to make sure their clients can make good Bichon owners. Breeders ask them about their working regimes, the size of their families, as well as about other pets, if any, in their homes. This is not something to be surprised about, because these are decisive factors in building a dog’s life. For instance, if you are not usually at home for the most part of the day, and therefore cannot spend enough time with your dog, this is not good for Bichons, and the breeder may not sell his or her dog to you. Bichons are very convivial, and they cannot tolerate loneliness or boredom. In this case, you can pick out a Bichon Frise for Sale at a pet store, but there is no guarantee you will purchase a high quality dog.
Bichon Frise dogs are small and lively non-sporting dogs. They are remarkably communicative, easy-going and infinitely affectionate. These dogs are great companions for well-behaved children and they are known to accept non-canine pets as their playmates. Bichons have soft and curly coats, which require daily combing. The accepted color is white, but cream, buff and apricot markings, not exceeding 10% of the body, are permitted. These dogs stand 9-12 inches tall at the shoulder. They have so called halos – patches of dark skin around the eyes. The lips, pads and the nose are dark too. These are the basic standard requirements, so if you feel like you have found a good Bichon Frise for Sale, please, read the standard very carefully and make sure that your dog meets the requirements.
