little puppy! not a little baby

aw its real? I thought it was just a pic she got on the internet. Shes adorable! (or he)

It is a picture from the internet but it is the spitting image of my Bichon Frise puppy. Her name is Snowy.

O I C, i thought that dog was posed to perfect lol. Whered you get her?

thhose things are expensive!
hey future you have shelties right? theres a shelti that is at a high kill shelter here that needs a home and i want to pull her so bad

but id end up keeping her LOL

We got her at the pet store. I usually like to get dogs from breeders, but I couldn't resist her little face.

I have 2 Shelties and 1 little Bichon Frise. The Shelties are not affectionate, they don't kiss, etc. They don't even like to sleep on the bed for very long, they get hot and jump off. I wanted a little cuddly lap dog that kisses and is affectionate. BOY DID I HIT THE JACKPOT!!!

how big is she suppose to get?

bichons stay small
like 10 pounds- 12 pounds

ugh i want a sheltie i had one named muffins at my moms house. she was the best dog ever
they are so pretty

what does one of those cost? I wanna get macy a puppy so bad, of course we have to wait til we get to IL but that looks perfect. They are both really good with animals, they sat for 30 mins at a store in downtown here just softly petting a lil dog that had to have weighed 6 or 7 lbs.

She was just over $1000 but that's because pet stores cost more than breeders. at least around here. Both of my Shelties are from the same breeder, but one was a show dog who I bought from them right before they moved, so I got a good deal, plus she wan't a puppy. The other Sheltie we got as a puppy but he is worth every penny.
He was expensive, but he still cost LESS than the Bichon because he was from a breeder.

Shelties are so smart it's almost weird. My husband talks to them in full sentences and they listen and then do whatever it was he told them to do. One time it happened to me, here is what happened:

I got home and both Shelties were in the front yard barking at something. I called them and one came over, I asked him if he wanted a treat, and I wanted him to go get the other one, who was still barking at something. SO I said, :OK, first I need you to go get Elektra for me." He galloped pver to her, barked at her, she stopped barking at whatever it was and poked her head around the bushes and looked at me, as if to say, "Yes? You wanted me?" LOLZZZZZZZZZZ! I told them both to come in for treats and of course they responded to that last word.

Suzy can probably tell you how to get the dog of your choice for very little money, from rescues, etc. I would not recommend retired show dogs, just from my experience. They do not know how to play, and are very reserved, etc.

Futureshock, how is Snowy doing?

I came home for break and I noticed not much changed with my dog... although I've decided that my family is bad at training dogs too. I don't really like how affectionate Scooter is-- maybe for awhile but he's just too much for me. It's like he's hyped up on crack 24/7 and doesn't ever settle down.

rofl@ the crack!!!! Snowy is like that with every person who walks through the door, for at least 6 minutes. Then she calms down and goes to play with the other dogs or goes in for a nap. i LOVE affectionate doggies.

Those are the Shelties. The Lassie-type one is Nosy (Nostradamus), and the other is Elektra.

The problem for me is that my dog doesn't have other dogs to entertain him then because he just doesn't settle down. I mean, when I'm in the mood its fun, but when I'm getting ready for work and he thinks I'm playing so he grabs something and I have to chase him.... thats when I get angry. And of course he is cute so I can't really get angry at him and that just gets me even more annoyed.
haha so I've decided that a bichon is really not the dog for me.

Your shelties are adorable. I had a friend who had one and I loved how mellow she was.

my dog is part bichon. I noticed it a wile ago and was going to ask you about it but it slipped my mind. My dog is my avatar.

What beautiful dogs you have. You can tell they are well loved and cared for.

I also loved your avatar of your granddaughter? on her horse in her riding habit.

How do you find an avatar to post? I can download pictures to the site but there are some pretty amazing avatars on this forum.

Thanks.

future i officially hate you. the blue merle is freaking beautiful! i thought he was an aussie at first!!!

dani if you want a bichon check into some small dog reascues
if you want me to i can give you a list of some in your area. i dont buy/support breeders or petstores lol so i wouldnt really know much about them

As my husband and I got older, it seemed that we became closer and closer to the values of his parents. Now, as my son and daughter get older, it is like the same thing is happening.

I did love the picture of your daughter on her horse. It is a beautiful animal. Very graceful. How many hands high?

In reading your words, it just seemed you were more my age.

Age/experience/wisdom all boil down to communication with another person with like views.
