Bichon Frise information
The Bichon Frise is a small,
sturdy, little dog. When the dog is clipped in a show cut the
body gives off a round appearance. The skull is slightly
rounded. The muzzle is shorter than the skull, is not pointed,
with a slightly pronounced stop. The round eyes are black or
dark brown. The ears are dropped covered in long hair. The teeth
should meet in a scissors bite. The legs are straight and medium
boned. Dewclaws are usually removed. The tail is carried over
the back. The double coat is soft to the touch. The outer coat
is 3 to 4 inches (7-10cm.) long and is coarser and curlier than
the soft dense undercoat. Coat colours include solid white,
cream, grey or apricot. White is preferred in the show ring. The
coat is hypo-allergenic. Pet owners usually clip the dog in an
easy care puppy cut that is the same length all over the body.
The dog can be shown with it's coat clipped like a poodle or
with a long, puffy coat with the feet and muzzle clipped.
Temperament
The Bichon is a fluffy, little white dog
that loves human company. It has an independent spirit, is
intelligent, affectionate, bold and lively. This charming,
gentle dog is not a yapper. It has a self-assured, happy
temperament that is easy to live with. These bright little dogs
are easy to train and just plain old love everyone. They need
people to be happy. They are naturally sociable and are happiest
when they are part of a family that takes them everywhere. This
sociable trait also means that they are fine in the company of
other dogs & pets and are excellent with children. Used as
watchdogs and to perform tricks, this breed is competitive and
obedient. Like a lot of smaller breeds, the Bichon may be
difficult to housebreak. The Bichon Frise needs rules to follow,
and limits to what they are and are not allowed to do. They also
need a daily pack walk. Do not allow this little dog to develop
Small Dog Syndrome, a human induced behaviour, where the dog
feels he is pack leader to humans. This can cause varying
degrees of a wide variety of behaviour problems. Including, but
not limited to, obsessive barking, guarding, separation anxiety,
snapping, and even biting. These are not Bichon traits, but
rather behaviours brought on by the way the dog is treated. If
you begin to be your dogs pack leader, and are self assured,
calm consistently and assertive towards the dog, providing daily
pack walks, the Bichon will be a very stable minded, trustworthy
dog.
Size
Height: Dogs 9-12 inches
(23-30cm.) Bitches 9-11 inches (23-28cm.)
Weight: 7-12 pounds (3-5kg.)
Needs
These are
active little dogs, who need a daily walk. Play will take care
of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds,
play will not fulfil their primal instinct to walk. Dogs who do
not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display
behaviour problems. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe
open area off lead, such as a large fenced in yard.
The Bichon Frise can live in an
apartment if it gets enough exercise. They are fairly active
indoors and will do okay without a yard.
Grooming
This breed should be groomed
frequently and bathed every month. Professional grooming is
recommended every 4 weeks. Trim around the eyes and ears with a
blunt pair of scissors and clean the eyes extensively to prevent
staining. Show dogs are trimmed with scissors. The body of the
pet dogs may be clipped with electric clippers though the rest
of the dog must still be scissored. The Bichon sheds little to
no hair and is good for allergy suffers.

Origins
The Bichon Frise dates back as far as the
13th century. The breed is a descendent of the Barbet Water
Spaniel and the Poodle. The Bichon was traded all over the world
by Spanish sailors. The dog eventually became a favourite of the
16th century French royal courts. In the 19th century it was a
popular organ grinder's dog and also a circus performer. Today
the Bichon Frise is primarily a companion and show dog. The
Bichon Frise was first recognized by the AKC in 1972.
