Expert: Breeder - 6/20/2007

Question
I adopted a bichon frise this past Thursday and everything was fine through Sunday, June 17 when by mistake I hurt his left pal. Since then the dog bites me 4 times. Need some help because I want to return the dog. He is nice and if I leave the room or my car, he cries. His behavior is unacceptable and the previous owner was quite surprise about the biting. Please need an answer.

Answer
Biting is not a bichon behavior.  Biting comes form poor breeding (puppy mill dogs). Poor breeding combined with taking puppies from mother and syblings too early will make the poor dog dysfuctional.  You cannot place a bitter.  You can be sued if the dog bits someone.
