Question After much internet research and finding a reputable breeder, we have chosen a made a deposit on a Bichon puppy. We fit all the criteria a Bichon needs-- a person at home all day, experience training dogs, older children, etc. But after reading your answers I am ready to get my deposit back. Are these dogs really such destructive, nasty, untrainable creatures? Please let me know before we make a huge mistake.
Answer If your home during the day and get the puppy out every couple of hours you have a better chance of housebreaking the dog. Also reputable breeders do not place puppies before 12 weeks of age. Make sure the parents are multi generation OFA & CERF clear. ASk to see the certifications.
Puppies from reputable breeders are never Nasty, they have very loving in your face temperments. they do demand a lot of attention.
