About The Bichon Frise Dog

The Bichon Frise is one of the friendliest small dog breeds. The Bichon Frise dogs are not the loud, prone to yapping kind like other small dogs as dachshunds, Pomeranian or jack Russell terriers. This is good news for your ears, and your surrounding neighbors' ears.

The "not too hot, not too cold" dog is sometimes difficult to be found, especially for a family having children. Because of their reputation for snapping and a general irritation for the younger homo sapiens, most parents have a tendency to shy away from smaller breeds of dogs. But not in the case of the Bichon Frise, which is a delightful dog. This is a dog that revels in humans' attention and socializing. Either adults or children are beloved companions for them.

The Bichon Frise Cradle Of Life

So where did this white puffball of love and fun come from? The Bichon Frise is a cross between the Barbet water spaniel and the Poodle. Good thing it was not named the "Barpoo" or "Poobet", or even "Bandle. The Bichon was bounced around the Mediterranean countries before eventually ending up in France. The name is French, but that accent is so Anglo-Saxon.

Bichon Frise dogs are white, and definitely have the poodle type coat with more curls than Shirley Temple could shake a stick at. Or tap dance, sing, and smile to. Two little black round eyes and a button nose give the face...well, a face. Their tail curls up, making it almost look like they prance when they walk. That is an emphasis on "when" as these cute little dogs have the most fun when they are carried around. Wouldn't you rather be toted then have to walk? Humans have vehicles, elevators, escalators, and those moving walk-ways in the airports. And Bichon Frise dogs have humans.

While the Bichon Frise is highly intelligent and quick to learn tricks, house breaking does not seem to be one of them. They can be house broken, but it may take a little longer to stick than with some other breeds. You are going to have accidents; but with a dog that does not weigh more than ten pounds, it's not like you will have to clean up after an elephant. Patience is a must in this area. Just keep your home stocked with puppy potty training pads, and Bounty.

The grooming activities and the time required is another aspect to consider before getting a Bichon Frise dog. It will need to be groomed at home but also in a professional center. At home they require a daily brush an every week to be avoided the tangles and the matted spots. The professional grooming sessions should be monthly, or at least every six weeks. You may keep their coat very short if you like the "puppy cut" look. But if you like its curls to play with it is better to get used brushing its coat. You must not try to professionally groom your dog yourself. The dog will never look worse.

The Bichon Frise dogs make wonderful companions. Be sure you know all you need before deciding to have one. You may find different information sources about all its features. And in the case of a pedigreed pet you should master all these information.


Other small dogs are prone to yappingand, but this is not the case with the Bichon Frise breed. You will get the company of a dog that revels in attention and socializing. You must also consider the grooming time before getting yourself a Bichon Frise dog.
