The Appearance of the Bichon Frise
The Bichon Frise is a petite and sturdy dog with distinctive puffball like coat. They have slightly rounded heads, medium-length muzzles, hanging ears (usually covered in hair) and a distinctive black nose. Their dark eyes have a curious and sparkling expression. They have long necks and defined chests. The tail is well plumed, set on level with the topline and curved gracefully over the back so that the hair of the tail rests on the back.

High Maintenance
Bichon Frises do not shed much (great for people with allergies), however, regular brushing is needed to prevent matting. After a week or two without brushing, they can become matted and then it is hard on the little dog to be brushed and combed out.
I suggest that a Bichon be groomed every 3-4 weeks.

I love my Bichon Frise! They certainly are the greatest dog in the world! Bichon Frise are once dogs of aristocrats but sadly as their popularity declines, they became dog of clowns in circuses.
