Resources

If you are interested in purchasing a Bichon Frise, it is always best to purchase your Bichon from a reputable breeder.

The American Kennel Club is a great resource for finding one. A lot of how your puppy responds to you depends on how they've been treated before they arrive in your home.

No animal acts out without reason and Bichons are not any different. If they are withdrawn and/or edgy there is most certainly a reason why.

The American Kennel Club has specific standards for breeders they recommend. Starting your breeder search at their website would be a great place to start in finding your Bichon or any other breed.
