Bichon Frise - Purebred Dogs and Puppies
Description The Bichon Frise is a member of the Non-sporting Group. It's name translates to mean "Curly Lap Dog." They can be good with children with adult supervision and they are good with other pets. Because of its need for human companionship, the Bichon should not be left alone for too long a time. This sweet, gentle little dog is not a yapper like many other small breeds of dog. These cute little dogs are bouncy, playful, and extremely perky with lots of character. Be forewarned, Bichons may also be difficult to housebreak. The Bichon is a small, sturdy, tough and healthy white powder puff of a dog whose merry temperament is evidenced by his plumed tail carried jauntily over its back and his dark-eyed inquisitive and happy expression. To keep the Bichon's coat healthy you must brush it frequently and intensive grooming is essential. Like human hair, the Bichon's coat mats easily. This dog breed should be groomed frequently and bathed every month. Professional grooming is highly recommended every 4 - 5 weeks. The Bichon sheds little to no hair and is considered a good dog choice for allergy suffers.
Watch a Bichon in action
They do need a good bit of daily exercise. A simple walk on the leash or even a rigorous indoor game will work just fine. If you have access to an enclosed backyard, one great way to exercise these little guys is to have one of its owners stand on one side the yard and the second owner on the other side while each take turns calling the dog as you exercise him vigorously back-and-forth until he is tired. Best home is with an owner who is home most of the day. Overall, a cheerful and happy attitude is the hallmark of the breed. The Bichon Frise is primarily a companion and show dog. Like most small dogs, you can look forward to the Bichon having a lifespan of up to 15 or more years. Country of origin: France & Mediterranean
