Here is an opportunity we don't see often. We almost never have older dogs available for adoption. Charlie's parents are our AKC "Pearly Girl" and our AKC "Louis the Great", he is seven months old and he was born on 1/20/2026. Louie (the sire) is from Europe and has 42 champions in his pedigree. Charlie was sold at 8-weeks, but due to his elderly owner's health he needs to find a new forever home.
Charlie has had all his shots (including rabies), He has graduated from a 5-week obedience training program (Hand & Paw Academy), he is housebroken, he is registered with AKC and in perfect health. Charlie will be available for pickup at our home in Vancouver, WA. According to the owner his asking price is far less than the money she has invested into him. Currently asking $2,900.
We often get requests for older dogs as many people don't want to go through those early puppy-dog learning phases. Charlie has been there, done that and is now the perfect turnkey companion pet. In my opinion, for whatever it's worth, it's the males of this breed who are the most loving and make the best companions.
What’s the difference... between an inexpensive puppy and a "Quality Bred" puppy?
1. Bloodline: "Quality Bred" puppies are from champion bloodlines. Puppies raised with champion backgrounds retain the physical features that define the breed. People will stop you on the street to comment on the appearance of a "Quality Bred" dog.
2. Health: "Quality Bred" puppies have DNA tested parents, who have been tested for genetic gene defects. This lowers the possibility of expensive veterinary bills and future illnesses as the puppy ages.
3. Personality: "Quality Bred" puppies, who have been handled daily from birth, are impacted by the process called imprinting. They believe they are little humans, or that you are a big dog, I’m never sure which. The end result is a loving puppy who wants to be constantly with you, follows you everywhere, and considers you their go-to person.
4. Expense: The initial expense of a "Quality Bred" puppy is reduced based on life expectancy. Dogs without expensive cosmetic or genetic defects tend to live longer and require fewer veterinary bills.
5. Exclusivity: People who purchase “Quality Bred” puppies are the same people who always look for, and only purchase, the very best.
We wish to thank you for your interest in Charlie and your visit to our website. Please call us now at while he is still on your mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
About
Bichon Frise
Puppies
What's it like owning a Bichon Frise?
These little white fluffballs will keep your family active and your heart full. The Bichon Frise is one of the sweetest and most sensitive dogs around. They love to run around the yard, play games, or snuggle up on the couch—any activity as long as you’re nearby. Housetraining can be difficult, so remain vigilant when they're still young and learning. Full-grown, they typically weigh 12-18 pounds and stand 9-11 inches tall.
Will a Bichon Frise get along with my other pets?
Bichon Frises are generally excellent with children of all ages. Bichon Frises are eager to make friends with strangers, other dogs, and children. They’re family-friendly pups that may bark or nip during playtime but usually get along well with kids. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
How much exercise does a Bichon Frise need?
The Bichon Frise is an active dog that needs daily exercise. Despite their small size, these pups are eager to play indoor games, romp in the yard, or take short walks on the leash. Like cats, they have sudden spikes of energy that turn them into crazy canines running laps around the house. Overall, their exercise needs are low.
What should I expect with Bichon Frise shedding?
The Bichon Frise has a white double coat with a soft, silky, dense undercoat and a coarse, curly outer coat. The fur is fluffy and springs back even when you pat it down. These dogs may have cream or apricot-colored hair. Grooming-wise, this breed is high-maintenance. Bichon Frises are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
Are Bichon Frises easy to train?
Bichon Frises are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Bichon Frises are good for apartment living because of their size, but they can be difficult to housetrain and may have more accidents if they don’t have a yard or doggy door at their disposal. They are fairly easy to train.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
