and he came from a puppy mill at 1-year-old and he is just the sweetest little love. so now what how did you decide you wanted to just help one breed? well, what happened was i found myself on the steps of a puppy mill in missouri and i went to get a bichon puppy thinking this was a place to do that. my eyes were opened. we didn t have anything on a national scale for bichons but just other than rescuing bichons, we also trade other breed rescues to do what we do for their breeds. there s no breed we haven t rescued. this is a sought after breed. people want this. these dogs clean up nice, don t they? they do clean up nice. look at them. bright white. they do and the thing is they may look like foo-foo dogs but they are big dogs in a little dog body. they re rough and tough. if you have a mud puddle, they ll be in it and the personality of these dogs, it will capture your hearts.
