Bichon Frise dog overview
Originated in the Mediterranean region. Happy, lively and game, its size makes it an ideal companion dog for the urban environment.
The white coat requires regular attention; excellent grooming skills are needed to keep the classic appearance. The coat does not shed and allergic dog owners react less towards Bichon hair.
Teeth and gums are prone to dental problems.
