Bichon Frise Photo
In the Bichon Frise photo, you’ll see a small white dog. Actually, the name of the breed means “curly lap dog” in French. The wither height of these dogs is only 23-30 cm (or 9-12 inches.) They weigh between 3 and 5 kg (or 7-12 pounds.) The hallmark of the breed is its pure white coat 7 to 10 cm long. The textured outer coat has a fine silky undercoat. The hair on the muzzle is long, covering the eyes. The Bichon Frise is considered to be a non-shedding breed, that’s why it’s very popular as an indoor pet. Bichon Frise dogs are suited to people with allergies.

They are a great choice for people with a sedentary lifestyle who cannot keep a large dog. Bichon Frise dogs are alert and protective, in spite of their small size. They can serve as watchdogs that warn the owner about the intruder.
