bichon frize
The Bichon Frize is a sweet-tempered, cheerful and enthusiastic breed that always wants to please its owners and family. He or she is a dog who loves to spend time with his or her family and loves interaction with humans and other animals.
The bichon is fine for both novice and more experienced dog owners, and will do well with considerate children. Housebreaking the Bichon Frize can be a difficult task, and some can be quite noisy with their high-pitched barks. All in all, the Bichon Frize is a wonderful little dog with a cheerful attitude, bags of enthusiasm, a gregarious personality, and is perfect as a family pet or companion dog.
puppies
Puppies sometimes have buff to apricot markings, but these fade over time. They usually have a buff, apricot, or cream color on the ears or head that will almost always fade to complete white. Puppies need to get used to brushing at an early age, a process that requires a lot of patience and careful handling to prepare them for a loving new home.
Training
The Bichon Frize is a highly intelligent dog and can be trained to do tricks. They are slow to mature and males are generally a bit easier to train than females. The breed is easy to train using standard obedience commands. Training begins at birth and ongoing consultation is available to all breed owners at the local obedience school or vet. The bichon does well with treats along with the leash and collar. Training should be smooth and firm, without harsh corrections or scolding.

Bichons are notoriously intelligent and easy to train, making them a favorite for circus acts. My pup has been a part of my life since 1999. On the downside, pups are prone to liver shunts. They weigh around 10 to 18 pounds, depending on size, and fall into four categories: Habanero, Bolognese, Maltaise, and Tenerife, from which the Bichon Frize is ultimately descended.
Bichons require a moderate amount of exercise, including a daily walk, and make perfect indoor dogs. Puppies should stand between 9 1/2 and 11 1/2 inches tall at the withers. They were the popular choice of dog used for bartering by Italian sailors during medieval times and were the preferred choice for bartering because they were so friendly and good traveling companions.
Family
The Bichon Frize is a sweet-tempered, cheerful and enthusiastic breed that always wants to please its owners and family. They love spending time with their family and they love interaction with humans and other animals.
The Bichon Frize is a cute “puffy” little dog. This is a small but robust dog that can be taken on family trips and will be sad if you leave it at home. He is a good family dog and will love everyone in his “pack”.
