Everybody loves a lap dog that is super affectionate - this describes the Bichon Frise perfectly! Small, white and cuddly, Bichons can make perfect pets where space is at a premium.

Bichons love people and are very playful and full of energy - making them great pets for kids. And yet, they are small enough not to need acres of land to get their exercise.

When it comes to taking care of the breed, their face must constantly be kept clean and trimmed, namely because eye discharge and mucus will otherwise tend to accumulate in the hair that grows in front of their eyes. As well, their hind area should be cleaned after each bowel movement, in order to keep their curly hair from getting tangled in dried excrement.
