Bichons have high matinence coats that need to be brushed out daily to prevent mats and become healthy and clean. :)
Once a week. Like other dogs.
Once every six or seven weeks.
Shelters often have Bichon Frise dogs, as well as Humane Societies. There are specific Bichon Frise rescue organizations including: Bichon Frise Rescue Ranch and Bichon Frise Rescue me.
The Bichon Frise is also known as the Bichon à poil frisé and the Bichon Tenerife. It is often nicknamed the Bichon for short.
Susan Lucci, the famous soap star, has a Bichon Frise. You may have seen her on the Martha Stewart Apprentice show last week. The little, white fluff ball dog is a Bichon Frise. This breed has become widely popular in the last decade. The Bichon Frise won "Best in Show" at the Westminster Dog show a few years ago. In the past this breed was also used as circus dogs because they can jump very high. The Bichon Frise breed is a companion dog. They are cheerful and affectionate by nature. They do not shed, which is wonderful. However, you have to brush them on a daily basis or their hair will mat. They have curly white to apricot colored hair that is soft. They range from 7-15 pounds in weight. The Bichon Frise usually lives to at least 18 years in age, so they will be around with you for a long time. The Bichon Frise is a house dog. They require little exercise. Running around the house and playing tug-of-war often suffice. However, they are always up for a walk. The Bichon Frise breed tends to have bad knees and develop cataracts. I have a Bichon Frise that is 13 years old. She has bad knees, but still moves around quite well. In fact, most people think she is a puppy because she is small and perky. She has had knee surgery in the past.
an adult should bathe everything he or she feels dirty or stinks
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.
once a week
This depends entirely on how dirty the person is, and doesn't really have anything to do with age. A person should bathe at least every other day. If they are very active and sweaty, then they should bathe at least daily.
once a week... or twice a week
I own a 4 year old Bishon Frise and they are quite the little characters. Tootsie will heave throw cushion all over the place; take her cushion she lays on in the front room and get under it and all you see is a cushion moving across the floor. She loves water and my husband and I take her to the doggie beach for swim often in the summer. If we allowed her too she would have a bath or showers with us too. My bichon is quite a cute mystery! I set a soft, squishy blanket on the sofa and my dog starts digging a making his bed and doing that! Joey and his bichon pals are like that.
Bathe it every so often. At least once a month. It needs to be bathed probably more than once a month if it is a long haired cat.
The bichon Blitz is when a bichon gets a burst of energy and runs and runs and runs back and forth or in wide circles. It's very fun to watch on Youtube.com
Never. Just give him access to water in which to bathe himself.
