Ditto! Let's put puppy mills out of business. It's just not natural or right or healthy for the dog!
Doesn't mean there aren't legit breeders....not at all, but there are so many dogs in need, and cats, plus so many unethical puppy mills, I applaud any rescue of an animal in need.
We had a tenant once with a Bichon. She was a delight, obviously no barking issue, but she was very shy. She would hide under the bed for hours, if anyone was there except her "person". We baby sat her a few times, and she started to open up to us and our small dog, but not so much. I don't know if that was just her, or if it's a trait of the breed. If you are looking for an outgoing, people dog, you might check that out to see if it's normal.
Good luck and enjoy your new baby!!!!!
