This is a very petite Little Girl. Her mother weighs in at only 10 pounds. She had no siblings. She is 11 weeks old. And she is ready to go to a new home. We do not ship unaccompanied:and deliver on site to serious buyers. We are near St Joseph, MO., and we have had buyers drive from as far as Oklahoma City and Ohio to receive their new family members. This is the way it should be. All puppies are vet checked and housed indoors where they have virtually no chance to contract any illness. They are wormed and kept up to date on shorts y. We do not send "up to the minute" photos to the curious because all quality Bichons are pure white with jet black noses and facial highlights. In other words, they all look the same until their white fluffy fur is groomed. There is no such thing as black, brown, red or tan Bichon. During the puppy stage there may be an almost unnoticable amber tinge about the ears that quickly disappears and is virtually impossible to discern in a photograph. People who know and buy Bichons know this. We post the picture of a normal Bichon puppy for those who have never seen one. If somebody wants to sell any other color Bichon, there are irregularities in the breeding and you need to know that. I have seen black or brown and white "Bichons" being peddled. I regard them as cross-bred dogs. Read up. Know your stuff.
