About the Bichon Frise
The Bichon Frise is a small dog breed originating in France / Spain (Mediterranean). Adult dogs typically weigh 10 to 18 pounds and live 13 to 16 years. The breed is described as cheerful, affectionate, people-bonded, low-shedding.
Families or singles wanting a cheerful, low-shedding companion and willing to commit to grooming every 4–6 weeks. Homes where the dog is left alone for long hours, or owners unwilling to keep up with the coat.
Adult Bichon Frises need about 40 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 50 minutes. The coat is curly-coated with low shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
