Article Title: Finding The Right Bichon Frise Breeders
Author: Mary A Stevenson

Of all the different breeds of dog that you can choose from,
the Bichon Frise can definitely be considered as one of the most
popular. These are really adorable, beautiful dogs, and
absolutely a fan favorite. They make great pets, and not only
that but because they are always so alert and active they make
reliable watchdogs as well.

The Bichon Frise, when properly trained of course, is also
great around children and so is the perfect family pet. If you
are interested in getting a Bichon Frise dog, the first thing
you are going to want to do is find a good breeder. There are
many Bichon Frise breeders out there, but you need to understand
that some are good while others are bad. It is very important
that you take your time and take the process of finding a
breeder very seriously if you want to have the best results you
possibly can and find yourself a healthy and happy puppy.

Before you even begin your search for Bichon Frise breeders, it
is important that you understand what mass breeders are. These
are breeders that basically breed purely for the profit, the
financial means, and do not care for the dogs, as they should.
In fact in most cases these breeders produce litters of dogs
that are mistreated and malnourished, and as a result they grow
up to be untrained and have poor behavior skills.

Puppies bred by these mass breeders are more often than not ill
and mistreated, and so it is then obviously important that you
take your time to make sure you are only dealing with the best
breeders you can find. There are a few things that you can do to
make sure of this, and namely you want to ask a lot of
questions. Never feel as though you are being too forward or
intruding, because any respectable and reputable breeder is
going to be more than willing to help you out here and answer
any questions that you may have.

To find good Bichon Frise breeders you are going to have to ask
lots of questions, and that is all there is to it. There are
good breeders and there are bad, most of which are mass
breeders. You should always check the breeder's licenses and
certificates, so that you have proof of their knowledge and
experience. You may also want to ask questions involving such
things as the dog's temperament, where they breed, how many
types of dogs they focus on, and how much they charge per puppy.

Your breeder should always keep you involved throughout the
process and you are going to think of even more questions as you
go along. You should never be afraid to ask a breeder anything,
because good breeders understand that this is just part of the
job and will not get frustrated or angry with you. Even if you
think that a question you have is dumb or unimportant, you
should feel comfortable enough with your breeder that you will
ask anyway.

How To Find Poodle Information

Article Title: How To Find Poodle Information

Poodles were clipped historically to make them mobile in water.
Today, Poodle breeders have Poodles groomed in elaborate show
clips. Like any other dog breed, Poodles have good and bad
qualities. Poodle breeders should be knowledgeable of all the
characteristics of the breed. Good Poodle breeders love animals
and want their Poodle pups to go to loving, permanent homes.

The Poodle is one of the most loved and hated dog breeds. Often
seen fully coiffed either in competition or strolling with their
owners, their fur simultaneously pouffed high and trimmed close,
poodles appear to be a haughty and decadent dog breed to the
Poodle layman.

Surprisingly, the history of the poodle is actually very
down-to-earth. Poodles are water dogs. They are naturals at
hunting birds in water and on land. The name Poodle comes from
the German words Pudel or Pudelhund, which means splashing and
splashing dog respectively. The name for Poodles is related to
the English word puddle. Knowing Poodles are named after a
simple puddle makes the breed seem less intimidating already.
Poodles most likely originated in Eastern Europe and they have
been popular throughout Europe for hundreds of years. However,
it is the French who are given credit for the breed. French
Poodle breeders successfully cultivated all three sizes of
Poodle: miniature, toy and standard.

Poodle breeders understand Poodle history and Poodle breed
standard characteristics. The American Kennel Club, which
defines breed standards for all breeds registered and competing
in AKC competition, has specific characteristics that are
required in each purebred Poodle. Poodles must meet the size
requirements for miniature, toy or standard sized Poodles. All
Poodles must appear energetic, alert, and elegant, must have a
regal carriage, must be intelligent, and must have physical
characteristics such as: curly, dense and coarse fur trimmed in
the appropriate style, proportionate features, dark eyes,
oval-shaped feet, straight and delicate muzzle and deep, wide
chest.

The style of fur required for competition is a puppy cut for
dogs twelve months and under and either an English Saddle or
Continental clip for adult dogs. There are various requirements
of each type of cut, which the AKC clearly defines. Dogs that
are not competing are trimmed down considerably to reduce
maintenance. Dogs in full fur require at least ten hours of
brushing weekly.

Buyers can find reputable Poodle breeders by asking for
referrals from local animal shelters. The American Kennel Club
or local dog clubs and organizations are other good places to
begin. Buyers must research Poodles and have a good
understanding of Poodle information so that nefarious breeders
won't take advantage of them. Unfortunately, there are breeders
working only to make a profit with no regard for the health or
happiness of the dogs they produce- or their potential buyers.
These backyard breeders raise Poodles in puppy mills where they
breed dogs continuously, keeping the mothers and puppies in
cages with little socialization and no freedom or play. Buyers
can avoid bad breeders by asking to see the kennel where puppies
are raised, requesting pedigree information, registration papers
and medical records, and by interviewing breeders to make sure
they do not mass market puppies or sell them to pet stores. Good
Poodle breeders will interview buyers to make sure they can give
Poodles a good home.
