Breed Introduction
The Bichon Frisé is a common small pet dog. In 1500, when the French invaded Italy, they were captivated by the fluffy appearance of the Bichon and brought it back to France as a trophy. The Bichon Frisé has high demands for living conditions and often requires companionship, which needs special attention. They are gentle, sensitive, playful, and undoubtedly lovable.
In overall appearance, the Bichon Frisé is small but robust, lively, and cute, with a fluffy little tail erecting behind and a pair of adorable, curious black eyes. Their movements are elegant and light, charming onlookers.
Bichons are cheerful, vivacious, smart, brave, alert, emotionally rich, and have strong adaptability. They are loyal to their owners yet have a strong character. They are gentle and rule-abiding, sensitive, playful, and affectionate. A joyful demeanor characterizes this breed, and they are easily satisfied by little things.
Despite their small size, the curly-haired Bichon has a strong personality; they are naturally lively and love freedom, bringing endless joy to their owners. Their soft, curly coat requires grooming to showcase their beautiful, expressive black eyes and the round features of their body and head. When at rest, they resemble a child’s white, fluffy toy.
