EDDEL
I have to tell you I came to this board after purchasing a Bichon. I was lucky as I have family that breeds Dobermans and am very aware of the genetic test that breeds should have before whelping a litter so I did my research to find out what the proper genetic test standards are for the Bichon. Had I been a member of this board I would have had all my work done for me by you.
I think it is wonderful of you to post this as not everyone is aware of CERF and OFA on hips and patellar certifications.
I would like to add one other thing that I did when looking for a Bichon I goggled the breeders name to what news articles or post from other people that have purchased from them had to say. It was amazing how many puppy mills that appear to be legit breeders I found. I found that almost every one I looked at that clamed to be home raised with children were as far from home raised as could be.
