Puppy Adoption Application Hi!! My name is Dawn and my husband is Gary. We live in Gilbert, Arizona. All our dogs are our pets. And YES, they sleep in our beds. We whelp all puppies in OUR home in our quiet nursery. At 4 weeks we move puppies out to the toddler area (dining room) in the middle of our home and begin noise exposures, socializing and desensitizing. We follow the Empowered BAB breeding program.
Every puppy family has different needs and this information in this application helps us identify the best homes for our puppies. We ask that you be as specific as possible in describing your living situation (who you live with) and needs. We take great pride in breeding high quality healthy Bichons and finding perfect homes for them. They are a magnificent breed and the joy they bring to us and others makes all our hard work worth it. They are highly intelligent and learn commands very quickly. Our puppies are initially potty trained on a potty grate which can be put outside for an easy transition to lawn or rocks. We work a puppy curriculum that stimulates, teaches and prepares puppies for their forever homes. We work on desensitizing them to sounds like fireworks, doorbell, and other loud or scary noises. We also hold each puppy next to our hearts everyday so they can hear our heartbeats and know they are loved and that they are safe. This is how they learn to trust humans. We provide you with a puppy guide written by me, Dawn, with our tips on bringing a puppy home. Our puppies are AKC registered, purebred Bichons, with Champion pedigrees and a two year health guarantee. You will get one month free health insurance when you register your puppy with the AKC.
We work off of a waitlist. It is $100 non-refundable fee to get on our waitlist. Then we go down in order of the fee received to see which puppy you would like. We are happy to FaceTime, send pictures and videos to help you in choosing your puppy. You can also pass if you are not quite ready for your puppy. We feel our puppies are very affordable considering the amount of time, expense and work we put into them. It takes about 4 months to get you a puppy beginning with the time consuming breeding process or what we call "absolute chaos in our home" when a female is in heat! We hear noises from our boys like you've never heard before. Lol Then extensive mama care and preparation for whelping/birth. All this before the puppies are even here. Then once the puppies are born it is round the clock caring for them and the mamas. We sleep next to the whelping box in shifts the first two weeks to ensure all needs are met. We work at least 12 hours a day, bathing them, grooming, playing, training, working the curriculum, taking pictures, phone calls, texts, emails, and just loving them until they go home to you. Our time is valuable and feel our puppy price reflects that.
We are ethical breeders and thank you for not buying a puppy from a puppy mill or pet store which supports the puppy mills. We know you can find a cheaper puppy elsewhere but we have made it our mission to improve the breed and quality of Bichons and ask that you try to see the value of a healthier and better bred Bichon. The initial cost will give you a healthier best friend for at least 15 years.
Our puppies start at $1900. They are sold as companion pets, not for breeding. If you want breeding rights there is an extra fee. Thank you for supporting our small business. ❤️
