The Bichon is an ancient breed.It can be traced to the thirteen hundreds,but is probably older.Centuries ago,it was a favorite with royalty and aristocracy in France and Italy.Later they were found to be great performers,and were used in fairs and circuses.
Centuries of selective breeding have made the Bichon friendly,playful and affectionate.They are gentle and very good with children.They are not yappy but are excellent watch dogs.The hallmark of the dog is it's cheerful attitude.They are not hyperactive but require a walk every day and they love to play.
They have very soft woolly hair,not coarse like most dogs.They are hypo allergenic and they do not shed,perfect for me with all my allergies.They have big,dark,intelligent eyes,floppy ears and a plume of a tail that curls over their backs.When they are sad,the tail goes straight and droopy.They have to be brushed every few days to avoid matting and should be trimmed every two months.They tend to think they are humans and like to be involved in everything you do.
