Small, cheerful dogs - not bratty, snappy-at-people toy dogs, make for great companion pets, and that what Bichon Frise dogs are. Many owners of this breed, those who've had them for a long time (the Bichon can live up to 15 years), will tell you they don't want another dog breed. This breed has a very lively nature, and that's partly why so many people want one. The Bichon is smart, friendly to kids, very social, and pays attention to its owner.
This short article will serve your guide if you want to know more about this breed. You will hear and read about a lot of comparisons being made between the Bichon and other breeds. Although the Bichon is a toy breed, judging by its bearing and the way it moves, it's not the type of helpless designer dog you have to carry around, else it be accidentally kicked and get injured. For one thing, this breed loves to move, or rather, run around, for no reason at all.
Those who want to have a dog this cheerful at home should know more about the breed before they decide to buy or adopt one. As with any other breed, some do well in some circumstances but not with others. Some are great for homes with large families, with kids, while some are good for small apartments.There are breeds that fit well with large families, some do well with kids, and some are perfect for small apartments. There are also the expenses a Bichon owner should be aware of. The veterinary check ups, the premium dog foods, the scheduled vaccinations and deworming sessions. These, along with items the Bichon might need, from potty pads indoors to grooming accessories.
If there is one other aspect about taking care of this breed that's overlooked, by first time owners, is the dog's grooming needs. What they have in mind, instead, is how adorable the dog looks like, and how gentle it is. Another myth in their head is how nice it is to have one, as told by some owners, having left out parts about the health problems, potty training woes, and other dog nuances. You can decide whether you want adult ones or puppies after some research online. For those whose first time it is to take care of dogs of this breed, it's recommended that you get adult dogs instead of puppies. Just be wary when buying one from a breeder, since puppy mills abound, and you might be buying an unhealthy dog from an unscrupulous breeder.
You would really need to sift through several breeders, going by references of course, until you can find one that's legit. The alternative, but which can take a longer time until you get the dog, is to go through an application for adoption. You do this when you want to adopt an adult dog from an animal rescue. Rescues are often staffed by volunteers and may not be able to respond to your application as quickly as you expect. But then when they do, they will make you go through a screening process, which includes a home visit.
