"If my coat doesn’t make you smile, my sunny spirit will!"
These little white fluffballs will keep your family active and your heart full. The Bichon Frise is one of the sweetest and most sensitive dogs around. They love to run around the yard, play games, or snuggle up on the couch—any activity as long as you’re nearby. Housetraining can be difficult, so remain vigilant when they're still young and learning.
The Bichon Frise is sensitive, responsive, affectionate, and oh-so-playful. They're perky, jumpy dogs that love companionship and think cuddling is the reason for their existence. While they love relaxing, Bichon Frises are also alert watchdogs that will bark if anything disrupts their usual environment. Overall, Bichon Frises have easy, happy personalities that can adapt to just about any lifestyle or setting.
The Bichon Frise has a white double coat with a soft, silky, dense undercoat and a coarse, curly outer coat. The fur is fluffy and springs back even when you pat it down. These dogs may have cream or apricot-colored hair. In addition to being pretty, the Bichon Frise’s coat doesn’t shed much and is hypoallergenic, making them a great fit for people with allergies.
Bichon Frises are eager to make friends with strangers, other dogs, and children. They’re family-friendly pups that may bark or nip during playtime but usually get along well with kids. Bichon Frises are good for apartment living because of their size, but they can be difficult to housetrain and may have more accidents if they don’t have a yard or doggy door at their disposal.
The Bichon Frise is an active dog that needs daily exercise. Despite their small size, these pups are eager to play indoor games, romp in the yard, or take short walks on the leash. Like cats, they have sudden spikes of energy that turn them into crazy canines running laps around the house. Bichon Frises are up for just about any activity as long as they are with you.
