Do you Bichon Frise shed their hair?

Answer 1

I own a Bishon Frise and they don't shed. I still will brush her at night when watching TV or out on the patio. I use Oatmeal shampoo and rub in gently and rinse well. The Oatmeal is good for their skin. If this doesn't work then see your vet.

Answer 2

If it is not a purebred Bichon Frise there is a possibility s/he could have inheirited it's fur gene, from the non-purebred bihcon frise parent. i.e could be a mixed breed therefore doesn't show obvious signs of purity.

However it the 9 month old Bichon Frise is in fact a purebred then i would consider seeing a vet about the problem. As Bichon Frise are supposedly "non-shedding" dogs.

As a Bichon breeder I would say your puppy is "blowing his coat" This happens in Bichons as their adult hair begins to come in.

Answer 3

While they are often advertised as a breed that does not shed, that is false and misleading. They do not shed in the same manner that a Alaskan Malamute or German Shepherd would; their shedding is often unnoticeable to most, but they do require frequent visits to the groomer to trim their coat.
