Bichon Frise

The breed

The Bichon Frise is a small, sturdy dog known for its soft, curly white coat and cheerful expression. Its round dark eyes, black nose, and fluffy tail give it a distinctive teddy-bear appearance. Although usually white, the coat may show light cream or apricot shading, especially around the ears.

Bichon Frises are generally lively, affectionate, and sociable. They often enjoy being around people and may be playful well into adulthood. Their friendly nature can make them outgoing with familiar visitors and other pets, while their alert, bright personality gives them a spirited presence despite their small size.
