If you remember only one thing from this article, please remember this ? never buy a puppy from a pet store. In fact, don't even buy pet supplies from pet stores that sell puppies. It can be tempting to go to a pet store today to get a fluffy white Bichon Frise puppy ? and that's exactly what pet store owners hope you will do. They thrive on impulse shoppers. They don't care who they sell their puppies to, they only care about getting your money.

All pet stores get their puppies from puppy mills without exception. If they tell you otherwise, they are lying. They are just trying to make a sale and will say anything in order to close the deal. Pet shop owners and employees use the exact same sneaky selling tactic that you are probably already familiar with in other stores and car lots. No respectable and caring Bichon Frise breeder (or any other dog breeder, for that matter) would sell his or her puppies to a pet store.

Perhaps you once had a Bichon Frise, a Poodle-like toy dog that is becoming more and more popular. You should get your next Bichon Frise from a Bichon Frise breeder. A Bichon Frise breeder will offer a lot of little extras that no other pet store or even an all-pet animal shelter can. This is because he or she can spend a lot of time and effort on just a few dogs ? or at the most, a few dozen ? and gets to know their temperaments and quirks. In this way, you can be matched with a Bichon Frise puppy that is most compatible for your personality and lifestyle.

One of the best things about getting your puppy from a Bichon Frise breeder is that you get to meet Mom. You may also get to meet Dad and even aunts and uncles. Genetics makes up a lot of how a puppy is going to behave in the future. When you can see what kind of dogs the puppy is going to be springing from, this will help you select a puppy wisely. You will be reassured that the puppy is healthy, sane and being well cared for.

Always buy from a reputable Bichon Frise breeder, because buying a puppy at a pet store only helps to perpetuate the inhumane and barbaric puppy mill system. In a puppy mill, dogs are treated worse than battery hens (and there are even laws to protect battery hens, now). Dogs are never taken to a vet, as that would cut into the profit margin. They spend their lives in crates and only come out to breed. They often spend most of their lives sitting in their own excrement.

Bichon Frise breeders will also give their puppies' basic training in how to get along with people, other dogs, household objects and everyday situations. Your Bichon will be socialized, taught its first housebreaking lessons and first basic training lessons. Your puppy will often be sold to you at just the right time they can best learn. This is often why you are put on waiting lists before the pups are even born, so you can pick the puppy up at the best time.
