Liam Bichon Frise Carlsbad, CA

Hello People,
My name is Liam and I’m a handsome, smart and sassy Bichon of three who is looking for a forever home. My foster Mom says I’m very intelligent (I know commands including come, stay, sit, down, dance (twirl your finger), go potty, down, and ball. In fact I will definitely become your new best friend if you play ball with me! I’m all of 15 pounds, am housebroken (and use the doggy door!) and I love my crate. I even put myself to bed at night if I’m tired.

Dad says I’m a diamond in the rough. He and Mom are doing their best to teach me the proper way to behave in the world. I’m definitely making progress but will need to continue my ‘learning’ with someone who is a super smart and VERY savvy dog person. If that sounds like you, please read on!

While I am long on good looks and cute as can be, I’m also pretty willful. I like to do what I like to do (which is why I need someone who is smarter than I am and will guide me into perfect behaviors.)
I walk well on a leash and LOVE going for walks! I also LOVE to play ball and love getting treats. I’m also super excited to greet Mom and Dad whenever they go away --even if they only go outside to the mailbox. (I dance, jump up, growls and wants to play/chase up and down the hallway)!

I also love to cuddle and will follow you around. I am known for springing up into your lap to cuddle at the slightest opportunity. If you are lying on the sofa, I love to roll on top of you and make cute little "snorty" noises as I turn around.

Unfortunately I’m not a pup that is good around children. If you have children or grandchildren that visit I’m not the one for you. Sorry! I’m an ‘adults-only’ kind of pup. Mom says before I became a FurKid I was adopted simply because I am cute. So I formed some bad habits that she and Dad are helping me to overcome. Since I’m smart, I’m definitely learning what to do and not do.

I’m also a bit selective about making friends. I bark when people come to the door (Dad says I’m a great watchdog) but when I know someone, I’m friendlier. I also guard my toys, which is why I’m best as the only pup in the house.

My Ideal Home:
*Someone home most of the time
* NO other FurKids--as I like to be the center of attention
* Adults only
* NO children or grandchildren
* Committed to training me

Experience level:
*Recent dog experience a must!
*Rescue dog experience a plus!
*Experience with behavioral training a real plus!!!

Because I wasn’t successful in my ‘past life’ I’m hoping to make up for lost time – and am looking for adopters who will appreciate my intelligence and my affectionate nature – and will continue to work on my training so I can become the best pup that I can be. Mom says there is no doubt that I’m well worth the effort but you have to know my signals so that I can be successful.

If I sound like the pup you are looking for please let us know. It will be a very special home to which I am adopted as I’m a very special kind of pup. If that sounds like you, please send an email explaining your experience and background to bfkapplicants@gmail.com If you sound like you represent a fit, we will be back in touch.

Tail wags and cuddles,

Lively, Loyal and Loving Liam
