As this website in not only website home of one kennel, and i love to give to this website one education function, i made decision to add this page on it. The next text is about how to buy bichon frise on right way, but it can be used in general for every other breed.
The main thing who had put me to made this text is that after 10 years in breeding this beautiful breed, i still see, that some people (so many people) dont know how to choice were to buy a bichon frise. So i hope so that many will lurn something from this text.
First of all, having a dog is very serious thing! The person who wanna own a dog, must be very serious, careful, and must be very responsible. And when you had decide to have, a dog, please you be aware that is not a childish game! But, let’s see, what you do need to know about how to buy pure breed dog, as bichon frise!
When you had decide to buy pure breed dog, for example, bichon frise, you decided it because of breed characteristics. So, you already know that bichon is small dog, with happy character, without any smell, which have hair who not falls at all, who is very good with people, especially with children, who is healthy, playful, and on every other way is luxury dog! So, you wanna dog with the best characteristic’s, like new model of the best BMW series car? So, why you had thinking’s that you can gat dog in that class, at the price of some used, broken, old car?
I’m sure that when you need to buy anything, what you will use in next 15 years or more, for example, car, fridge, cooker, or you need to renovate your bathroom, you definitely at the first start to collect information, about product or job you need to done! If I’m right, and you do this, than when you wanna buy live animal, which will be part of your family for so many years, than you need to do research as never before! I wanna make you clear, that cost of veterinary services are very high, no matter were you live, so, it is something that you should not risk. I’m also sure that you don’t wanna instead of happy times, when you buy a dog have a hell, were you will have need to go to the very very often.
Kinology as a science, or part of science is available to anyone. And that is why very often happens that person who have female Y, find person, who has male X, and done the mating. Why people do that, it is mystery for me, but usually they say, it is good for a female health, or that “someone” told them that female should be mated. First of all, female which will never be mated, and which will never have puppies, if she will be sterilized at the right time, will not have any single health problem, or will never have problem with behavior. As the second, with that kind of mating the function of breeder is given to person which don’t know anything about breeding. This is something similar, like someone will give me truck to drive, and i dont have driving license, or i dont have driving skills. The result of driving like this for sure is that i will have crush very quickly! In this view, crush will have the person who will be the owner of a dog from this kind of inadequate breeding. The main problem is that person who have Y female, for that female will search male X which is very near and very available. Will not go somewhere far to get a stud dog which will be suitable for that female, and that person dont even know what it means to find a suitable stud dog for a female. At the end, that person is not even conscious that with that kind of mating can be create new puppies, new life’s, which can be very non-healthy, and access to mating like it is not “big-thing” or like it is childish game, and it is not at all! Creating a new life is not a child game, and that is not thing that everyone should do!

When you buy a dog from a breeder, you dont buy only the dog. With that dog you are buying all breeders knowledge, all breeders work in the past, which he is keeping in his lines, maybe by the years and years. Get a dog form real and responsible breeder it is means that you can have a sweet dreams without thinking that anything will be wrong. That also means that you will get a dog from a person who very well knows which two dogs need to be mated, and why. Trustable breeder have in mind all the pedigrees and lines without need to look at the paper. The real breeder will go very far to find a suitable stud dog for his female, if it is need he can go through thousands of kilometers or miles. Real breeder will not use same male, and done some mating only because it is comfortable, or some male is available and very close. True breeder, always have breed standard at mind, constantly learn about the breed, even if he already have some knowledge, it is person which have breeding plan, sometimes for a next few years. Trustable and ethical breeder will not have litters very often, do not mate his female at every heat, and he is constantly invest in his dogs, brought new bloodlines, and takes very well care about his old dogs, which are not part of breeding program anymore. And, at the end, the ethical breeder is person who devoted her entire life to dogs!
Now, we had the main point and main question, why the pure breed dog puppy, like bichon frise, cant cost 100, 200 or 300 eur? The answer is very simple! – Because cost of that kind of breeding are very higher than that price! And no one, and once again no one, cant produce pure blood breed dog in that price.
I really dont wont that this article becomes accounting presentation of successful breeding, i must present few facts, about how much true breeding costs. First of all, some person which will breed, need to have nice female, and to buy her. Nice, pure breed female have very high price. After that, he need to feed her, takes her to the vet, care about her, work with her, takes to groomer, pay for nice cosmetics, takes her to the shows which needs cost for a roads and fuel, and for show taxes, and championess. After more that two, let say almost three years, that female can be mated and she can have puppies. Now, that person needs to go to right male, and pay stud fee, for a male. When puppies comes to the world and before during the pregnancy, there is a lot of vet costs, vaccines, food for puppies. Work with the female, and puppies, i dont count, time, and force one breeder will put in whole this “system” to provide puppies. And when all will be fine, at the world comes, few puppies. Average litter counts three or four puppies, so i hope so that now you can clearly see that price of puppies cant be low.
Excuse which people usually gives when they will buy puppy from uncontrolled breeding, is that they do not wont a puppy for show, they just need a puppy for a pet, so they will buy puppy of bichon frise which haves parent who are real bichon frise, but they have never went to shows! This is something very similar that you will tell, that Ronaldinho is not the best football player in the world, because the best one is the some Jimmy form some village, but the only thing is that Jimmy had never ever play some game!
One of the similar excuse of a person who will buy puppy from uncontrolled breeding that they do not plan to take that puppy for a shows, never-ever. That is the similar like you will say i will buy cheap and old car, not the new one, cause i dont need to drive fast! The dog titles are not just dog titles wrote on papers. Every dog title is given by national or international judge who have a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience, and can estimate the value of one dog, and every title more is the recommendation more for that dog to be breed one day.
At the end, buying puppy from uncontrolled breeding is very risky, and you are helping the people who are done breeding like that, and should not breed dogs at all, to keep doing it. One of very dangerous categories of non ethical breeders are the persons who constantly doing breeding, maybe by the years, and they talking for their self that they are breeders, but they are don’t know much about breed, dont know much about breeding, do not put their money, time to improve they breeding, very often they dont go to the shows, because they dont want to give to much money. They only aim is to have breeding who will not cost to much, and with that kind of low-cost breeding, they can keep more money for their self, and usually that goes prejudicial for that dog which they breed. That kind of breeders, in past times, becomes more and more imaginative when they put their commercial at the internet, so you will find some “mini bichons”, or you will find “king bichons”, or something similar, and all this weightings have only one aim to be more attractive for potential puppy buyers.
Puppies and after dogs which comes from that kind of breeding, usually don’t looks like it should be that breed looks. But it is not the main thing will that puppy will have longer muzzle, or will be higher than breed standard, or will have poor hair on not, the most important thing is that there is not guarantee that dog will be healthy! So that kind of dogs usually are not healthy, and have so many problems, especially after 4 years old and more. Good pedigree which you will get from true breeder is not only something written at the paper, it is true guarantee that the dog will be healthy, and that in breeding that dog you have ancestors who are healthy, and have been healthy!
Genetics is strong and powerful, and it is going back to ninth generation, and true breeder will use only healthy dogs in breeding!
True breeder will wont to know, who you are, for what need you want to have dog, and can you give nice life and care to that dog in the future. Also, true breeder will be there for you for every situation will be in future, always with you during growing a puppy, and after, to the whole dogs life, if you will need some advices, and have some dilemma.
When we are talking about famous brands worldwide which are prestigious like Mercedes, Versace, Siemens….etc…those are companies which have different jobs, but the one think that connects them, and makes them famous and trustable, is tradition! And when you choice some of this famous brands you are sure that you will have quality because they have proven their quality trough the time! The same thing is with dog breeders, you need to be careful and choice some breeder which have tradition in breeding. What out how are the dogs of that person already breed and sold. Who are puppy buyers of that breeder, were are puppies sold. Do that sold puppies are shown, and do they have some nice show results? Also, one of the prove of how much one breeder is successful is how much other breeders have got puppies and dogs from him, and use his dogs in the breeding. When some breeder get a dog from other breeder and use in breeding, that is the big prove of that breeding quality!
One more important thing is that trustable breeder’s dont have litters very often. So, it depends of a moment, how quickly you can have puppy you wonted. Do not let your impatience be stronger, and to buy puppy somewhere you don’t need to buy and from some nice thing everything becomes like true hell! If you want to have real pure breed puppy, contact the breeder, and ask for a breeding plan, and you will find how much you need to wait for a puppy. Have enough patience, and you will have what you wonted. Good luck!
