The Advantages Of Puppies From Bichon Frise Breeders
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.
If you really have your heart set on a Bichon Frise puppy, then you can make life a lot easier for yourself and the dogs by getting in contact with a Bichon Frise breeder. You can find them through the Internet, by going to dog shows, through recommendations from other Bichon owners in your area and sometimes even your vet. If everyone stopped buying puppies from pet stores, then this inhumane practice could be stopped. What’s inhumane about buying a puppy at a pet store? Plenty! First off, all puppies in all pet stores are from puppy mills.
Bichon Frise breeders spend an incredible amount of time and money on the breeding and raising of their puppies. They often raised the mother from a puppy. Bichon Frise dogs aren’t merchandise or a business to them. These puppies are like their grandchildren. They would not then blow all of their tender and careful care by selling their puppies to a pet store, where anyone can buy a puppy if they have the money.
Pet stores that sell puppies rely on impulse purchases and do not do any background checks on what kind of person this puppy is going to. Quite often, people who have no idea what is involved in raising a puppy buy these puppies on a whim. Most puppies bought in pet stores wind up being abandoned when the puppy gets to be about nine months to one year old. Half of all dogs and cats that are surrendered to shelters are euthanized.
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.
The puppies bred in this condition are often sickly, have behavioral problems and often aren’t purebred. There is no legal overseeing group that makes sure a dog is a purebred. Anyone can fill out whatever they darn well like in pedigree papers and no one checks up on anything. Bichon Frise breeders not only will sell you a healthy, behaved puppy but one that is pedigreed. They also are great sources of accurate Bichon Frise information throughout all of your Bichon dog’s life.
