A great companion dog for children and adults, this breed is cheerful and playful. Bichons are usually calm indoors, while inversely willingly to enjoy high energy games outdoors like fetch. The coat of a Bichon is long and curly. They are hypoallergenic (non-shedding). This breed will make a great pet for someone looking for an active and happy small dog without the hair around the house. This pet is also okay for apartment owners. Daily walks will be needed. For more information about the breeds appearance or characteristics visit the AKC website.
Because the Bichon Frise coat is non-shedding, it will grow very long, as can be seen in the dog shows. A Bichon kept in full coat will require daily coat care. However, most Bichon owners keep the coat shorter, in a "puppy cut," or even shorter. When kept in a shorter coat, the grooming required for a Bichon is only average, although monthly trimming is then required.
