If you want great companion pets, look no further than Bichon Frize dogs. Many owners of this breed, those who have had them for a long time (the Bichon can live up to 15 years), will tell you that they do not want another breed of dog. That’s because the Bichon Frize has its own lively personality. Compared to other toy dog breeds that grow up to be brats, the Bichon is highly intelligent, quite sociable, friendly with children, and pays attention to its owner.
What to know more about this breed? Let this short article guide you. You will hear and read about many comparisons being made between the Bichon and other breeds. Although the Bichon is a toy breed, judging by its carriage and the way it moves, it is not the kind of helpless designer dog that you have to carry around, otherwise it will be accidentally kicked and injured. The bichon also loves to run, for no reason.
You should find out more about this breed if you really want to have one at home. As with any other breed, some do well in some circumstances but not in others. There are breeds that adapt well to large families, some get along well with children and others are perfect for small apartments. There is also the matter of expenses that a bichon owner should be aware of. You will have to take him to the vet and bring him for other reasons, such as deworming and vaccinations; There is also the after premium dog food you should buy. And then there are other items like grooming accessories, toys, and puppy potty pads.
First-time owners also don’t think about the bichon’s grooming needs. What they have in mind instead is how adorable the dog looks and how gentle he is. Another myth in its head is how good it is to have one, as some owners say, having left out parts about health issues, potty training issues, and other nuances of the dog. The quickest way to learn about the breed is to go online and then decide if you want Bichon puppies or adults. It is often recommended that first time owners of this breed get adult dogs rather than puppies. However, buying adult dogs from breeders is another matter, as a dishonest breeder can trick you into buying a sick dog.
You should look for breeding clubs or circles and ask them to recommend breeders, at least that’s one way to do it. The alternative, but which may take longer to get the dog, is to go through an adoption application. You will help both the dog and the rescue group by accepting one of their rescues. Rescues are often staffed with volunteers and may not be able to respond to your request as quickly as you expect. But then when they do, they will put you through a screening process, which includes a visit to your home.
