Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Bichon
A cheerful powder puff that thrives on company
The Bichon Frise is a small, cheerful companion dog with a curly white coat and a playful, people-loving nature. It sheds very little but needs frequent brushing and regular trimming, and it copes poorly with being left alone for long.

This breed needs about 45 minutes of activity a day. Around 3 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Very little, which is why the breed suits many allergy-sensitive owners, although no dog is completely allergen-free. The trade-off is daily brushing and regular grooming.
Only for short periods. Bichons are very people-oriented and often struggle with separation, so drop-in visits or a sitter help.
Yes. They are small, adaptable and need only moderate exercise, though they can bark at noises, so early training helps keep it under control.
