Country of Origin: The Bichon Frise (meaning ‘curly lap dog’, also known as a ‘Bichon Tenerife’ or ‘Bichon a Poil Frise’, Bichons were classified under four categories: the Havanese, Bolognese, Maltaise, and Tenerife, from which the Bichon Frise ultimately descended. They were brought home from the Canary Islands by Italian sailors in the 1300’s and became popular pets for the French and Italian upper class, including King Francis I. Bichon Frises sank in popularity through World War I to the point of nearly being lost, but survived via their popularity as tricksters, accompanying street minstrels. French breeders in the 1930’s made an effort to revive the breed, which finally took off in popularity after being brought to America in the 1950’s.
Size: The Bichon Frise has a shoulder height of
(9-12 in) and weighs (7-12 lbs). It is a short, puffy breed with round, dark eyes, drop ears, a furry tail curled over the back, and round feet.
Fun Facts
The name Bichon Frise is pronounced BEE-shon Free-ZAY. It traces back to the dog's days as a royal French pet. He is descended from the Barbet Water Spaniel from which came the name "Barbichon" later contracted to Bichon. "Bichon Frise" is French for "fluffy little dog."
Coat: The Bichon Frise has a white colored double coat consisting of a soft, silky, dense undercoat and coarse, curly, outer coat. The coat springs back when patted and is puffy in appearance. The coat may have cream or apricot shadings, which will fade during the puppy’s first year. The Bichon Frise is highly hypoallergenic and does not shed, making it a good breed for those with allergies.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Your Bichon's coat will change drastically from puppyhood to adulthood. Around 3 months of age, your puppy will drop its infant coat from its neck down to the tail. It will go through a stage of having a thin, patchy, ugly coat. At this point, we recommend finding a good groomer to short cut away the long straggly hair. The new hair will continue to grow and get thicker until it has it's beautiful adult coat.
WE USUALLY SHAVE OUR BABIES TO ALLOW THE NEW COAT TO COME IN NICE AND FLUFFY....
Character: The Bichon Frise is sensitive, responsive, affectionate, and abundantly playful. It is a perky, jumpy, happy dog that loves companionship and is happy to cuddle up. Bichon Frises have an easy, happy disposition.
Temperament: The Bichon Frise is eager to make friends with strangers, other dogs and children. Bichon Frises make an excellent addition to the family. Like cats, they have sudden spikes of energy which cause them to run wildly around the house.
Care: The Bichon Frise’s coat needs to be brushed and combed every other day and trimmed every two months. Bichon Frises should be groomed from an early age so that they are at ease with the process, since they will undergo it frequently. The grooming process should be made as comfortable as possible. The Bichon Frise’s Foot and ear hair should also be trimmed occasionally, and the hind area should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Unscented baby wipes work great. Bichon Frises must have plenty of human companionship. They may have allergies especially to Soy products (read your dog food label) or be sensitive to flea bites.
Life span of 12-13 years.
Training: The Bichon Frise is highly intelligent, making training a fairly simple task. It is able to learn a wide variety of tricks. Males can be easier to train than females.
Activity: The Bichon Frise is an active dog that needs daily exercise. Despite its small size, it is eager to play vigorous indoor games, romp in the yard, or take short walks on the leash. Bichon Frises can adapt to apartment life fairly easily.
