***IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM STIRLING BICHONS REGARDING IMPOSTERS CLAIMING TO BE US***

It has been brought  to our attention that there are individuals from a foreign country engaging in a scam to impersonate many reputable kennels in the US.  There is at least one well -organized group offering Bichon Frise puppies for sale claiming they are Stirling Bichons.  They ask for applications online, approve your application, send you photos  of “your” puppy and even provide very realistic looking tracking documents that indicate a specific flight, date and time that your puppy will arrive.  They also state free shipping.  No one would do this as it costs a minimum of $300 to ship a puppy in the US. Unfortunately, not only are they completely unrelated to Stirling Bichons but  there are no puppies.  Once you send your funds you will never hear from them again.  Please exercise all due diligence when entering into any purchase agreement  of a new Bichon Frise and avoid the financial and emotional loss created by these scam artists.  If you are not picking up your puppy in person from us in Ohio or speaking directly to Paul or Kim, then it is not a Stirling Bichon puppy.
