Pet Stores No Bichon Frise Breeders Yes

Article Title: Pet Stores No Bichon Frise Breeders Yes
Author: Mary A Stevenson

You are not doing any puppy a favor buy buying it from a pet
store, even if you know it is from a puppy mill. Get a Bichon
Frise puppy only from a Bichon Frise breeder. A Bichon Frise
breeder would not sell their puppies to a pet store because they
have no control over who gets the puppies. Most people who buy
puppies in pet stores are completely unfit to own a dog. Puppy
mills, which supply all pet stores, are barbaric. A Bichon Frise
breeder's puppy is healthy, sane and pedigreed, unlike a puppy
from a puppy mill.

"We never get our puppies from puppy mills", touts the smiling
and clean pet store worker, shoving a helpless and utterly
adorable puppy into your face. The puppy all but screams "Help
me!" But resist. Walk out the door and never come back to that
store again. All pet stores get their puppies from puppy mills.
Buying that puppy would just perpetuate the misery that puppy's
parents and siblings had to go through.

If you want a healthy and sensible companion pet, go to a
shelter or a breed rescue to save a life and find the friendship
you need. But if you have your heart set on raising a puppy, do
your research to find out which breed is right for your
lifestyle. 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.

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.
