Small-breed dogs are growing in popularity in every country. For many families, they are the perfect combination of playtime and downtime. The Bichon Frise is one such dog. Its name means curly lap dog, and while like most small dogs it needs constant, proper grooming, it is also a non-shedding breed making it perfect for owners with allergies. A Bichon Frise puppy is full of life and ready to explore; it is intelligent and bold, undeterred and fearless in the face of other dogs and people alike.

Families with children love the Bichon Frise because of its lively attitude. Whether the room is full of other dogs or strange people, a Bichon Frise puppy will want to socialize and explore the scene. Regardless of their size, these dogs are loyal watchdogs and will protect children from intruders. They play hard, however, and have a tendency to nip, but they rarely bite or scratch out of anger. From puppy to adulthood, the Bichon Frise has a zest for life, and most Bichon Frise puppy names incorporate this positive disposition.

Many potential pet owners suffer from allergies, and fear they will never be able to have a dog. However, the Bichon Frise puppy is the perfect purchase for one of these individuals. Its non-shedding coat has a high probability of not triggering allergies. The dog itself, however, suffers from allergies and skin conditions, so it is important for the owner to care well for the dog. The Bichon Frise should visit a professional groomer at least four times a year, and in-between visits, the owner should treat the dog to bi-weekly brushings and baths.

If the Bichon Frise puppy is groomed from an earlier age, it will be easier to train the dog to not fight the brush, as well as start the dog off right with a healthy coat. To prevent tangles in the fur, owners should brush the dog at home at least twice a week on top of its visits to the groomer. A Bichon Frise puppy should also be bathed often to prevent the fur from matting, and a dog blow dryer should always be used in the place of a human blow dryer. Tearstains or mucus can be cleared from around the eyes and mouth with a damp cloth, and nail clippers are essential in keeping its paws well manicured.

Even with the necessary maintenance, the Bichon Frise is a wonderful breed. It is a happy dog with beautiful features. The creamy white fur and dark black eyes are the epitome of innocence and love. With such beautiful features, what owner would not want to keep his or her Bichon Frise puppy well groomed?

It is the perfect lap dog, with soft fur and shining eyes, and the owner will take pride in his or her well-groomed pet. However, the Bichon Frise is so much more than a lap dog. Even with its small size, it is a guard dog, protecting the people it loves.

A Bichon Frise puppy is not as expensive as other small-breed dogs; in fact, the price tag of five hundred dollars is quite reasonable for a dog of such show-quality. Grooming costs will add to the cost over time, but every dog or pet comes with extra charges.

Puppy brokers and puppy mills can physically and emotionally injure puppies, and the good temperament and disposition of a Bichon Frise puppy is not something that should be lost.
