Bichon Frises

A Bichon Frise typically needs about ½ to 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight each day. For an average adult Bichon weighing around 10-15 pounds, this translates to roughly 5-15 ounces of water daily. It's important to provide fresh water at all times and monitor your dog’s intake, adjusting based on factors like activity level and climate. Always consult your veterinarian for personalized guidance.

POOD, or "Persistent Object-Oriented Database," is a database management system that combines the features of object-oriented programming with persistent data storage. It allows objects to be stored in a way that they can retain their state and behavior across sessions. This facilitates complex data modeling and relationships, making it easier to manage and retrieve data in applications that rely on object-oriented design principles. POOD systems are used in various applications, including those requiring complex data structures and relationships.

The average size of a Bichon Frise's brain is not specifically documented in terms of exact measurements, as it can vary among individual dogs. However, small dog breeds like the Bichon Frise typically have smaller brains compared to larger breeds, generally reflecting their overall size. It's important to note that brain size does not directly correlate with intelligence or behavior, as many small breeds can be quite intelligent and trainable.

Bichon frise are sometimes hyper.

As you might of heard they have blitz's regularly these are when bichon frise run around and jump a lot usually barking. This is not a bad thing and it means they are happy.

The legs may shake if the dog is frightened.

The name is French! But, it is said like: Bee-ShoneFree-Zay.

You should ask to see the parents and you need to ask about history of the dogs; their parents if they know about them, and if they had any medical problems. When you see the parents, you can see what the puppies will look and act like.

A little treat of cheese here and there will not be harmful, but many Bichon Frise are lactose intolerant (my Bichon/Poodle is) so watch for signs of diarrhea, vomitting, licking, and hot spots which can indicate the need to limit their diet. If you do need to limit their diet California Natural or Healthwise are good dog foods and even have treats with limited ingredients.

This breed of dogs come from France. I have one of my own and everytime I think she's thinking something I imagine it in a very cut french accent!!!

I have a bichon frise pure bread she is sooo cute! Her name is Rosie, and she's six years old. She REALY goes crazy. My mom and i call it her "bath fit". I love her VERY much!

It is painful and your waters burst. Also, you might see your mucus plug come out You will experience intermitent cramping similar to period cramps they will come & go & eventually get worse & closer together, or you may have back labor which would be a dull ache in your lower back that continues to get more intense. You may lose your mucous plug, you might have a "bloody show", your water may break, but not always! You may experience a fullness or achey sensation in your pelvic floor or rectal pressure, like you have to have a bowel movement, but it just doesn't seem to go away. Just remember to stay calm, relax & keep moving around it will help your labor go faster....you can also check out my post on techniques to make giving birth easier.....best of luck to you! ;)

My 4 month old Chocolate Lab weighs 42 lbs. today. He was 4 months old 3 days ago. He is not overweight or underweight. He exercises outside daily and has dog and cat playmates that run with him frequently during the day inside the house. He is typical of other labs that have been in my family over several decades.

my bichon frise is 8 weeks old and the tail already curls and plumes

my little man will be a year old, i have had him since he was 10 weeks old and he has always had the adorable pom pom, curly tail. Although his mother and some of his siblings did not have one as poofy and cute as his.

Bichon Frise are supposed to be 12 inches max at the shoulder, however I've seen a couple larger ones.

Bichons need to be washed and dried with a towel then blow dried. Then they should be brushed. or else they can be looking mangy. my bichon i wash towel dry air dry blow dry then brush. But if you dont want to you can jsut bring it to a dog groomer or pet store and they could do it. I do mine myself and it usually take 45 minutes.

no

Yes, though they may need to eat canned food or moistened dry food as they will obviously not be able to chew as well with about 1/4 of their teeth left.

they have a tendancy to bark. However not all of them do

there are many ways to help stop barking anyway

*electric collars which sound very meen but infact the are painless its just a little vibration sent on the dogs neck

*spray collars which spary the dogs face to stop them barking

A dogs natural temperature ranges between 99.5 and 102.5 degrees F. There are many things that can cause a temperature in dogs, anything from the common cold to an infection. I would say if the dog has other symptoms, or if the temperature gets too high to take it to the vet.

If they only get some chocolate then its fine. If they get a lot and its a puppy then it can be bad but it shouldn't die. My bichon when it was a baby got into everything hes had a whole plate of sausages one time donuts one time cake one time chicken. But hes 8 now and hes fine. They dog should be fine. If the bichon got a ton of chocolate he/ she will most likely just be throwning up. Its nothing big. hope for the best for you!

Bichons have high matinence coats that need to be brushed out daily to prevent mats and become healthy and clean. :)

Usually a wirebrush is what you need, but some bishons are sensative to this, if this is the case use the brushes with the little plastic ball ends.
