Bichon Frises

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.

White, at adult age. A bichon puppy can have apricot, orange, or brown markings on its body, but outgrows them around the age of one.

Yes! The smallest dog that was ever on this planet was not a toy poodle. To tell the truth, toy poodles are small, but there are smaller dogs and breeds. The toy poodle is a breed that could be on the top ten smallest breeds! The chihuahua is the number one smallest dog breed in the world.

The so-called teacup dogs are basically anything smaller than the range of a particular breed in the toy category (eg a toy poodle less than 4 pounds), but it is not a recognized distinction, not is it valued, except as a novelty. Teacup dogs may be runts or preemies, and breeding for that trait can lead to serious health problems.

Max. height: 30 cm (shoulder height) Max. weight: around 8 kg.

If it has food, water, a place to pee/poop, it's OK on occasion--but ideally a dog should not be alone for more than 6 hours. The first and foremost thing a dog needs is your time and your attention, so find a way to include your dog in your life more or find a dog walker or dog sitter to give the dog more attention if you are unable to. I suggest you don't get a dog if you are going to leave the poor thing alone for 9 hours a day. Dogs need love, play, and all that stuff. YOU SHOULD NEVER leave a dog home alone 9 hours each day. If your going to be gone that long, than a dog is too much of a responcibility right now...

their average life span is about 12-17 years of age
10-15 years approximately

they are amazing with kids and they can sense when something is wrong or not

right. and they take care of you. like when your sick they are right there with

you!!! i absolutely love my Bichon!!

Depemds - could start from 7 months and could be 1.5 yrs.

Well, it all depends on where you buy the Bichon. All breeders have different prices. If you buy it at a Animal Shelter it will be a ton cheeper than if you buy it from a breeder. i bought my bichon for 1000 from a breeder.

Quite possibly, that is your dog's mature skin color. Dogs, just like people, have varying skin colorations. If you think there is something wrong with the dog, however, by all means, take it to a vet and have it checked out.

In a condition of warm water and cold air, the bottom would melt faster than the top and it would roll over. As the ice on the bottom melted, it would become top heavy. I would think that it is not impossible for some icebergs. The more closely an iceberg resembles a sphere, (or log-like) the more likely that some rolling might occur. And I would think that while it might be unlikely, it is probably possible for some icebergs to be sphere-like.

The same proportions of ice above and below the waterline will hold throughout the life of the iceberg; there would be no such thing as a top-heavy iceberg unless perhaps it got grounded on a shoal.

It's a mutt.. so the weight can

I have a Bichon Frise and he LOVES any dog. You should likely get another small dog. Another Bichon would be great.

Mine is very submissive & takes a lot of play abuse from other dogs, so it depends on how your dog behaves with others. He loves his friend who is a Daushaund, but she likes to bite on his ears and loves to bite on his poofy fur! So be careful. my bichon is different. Mine only likes mellow dogs. Like a old golden retriever across the street, my dog loves. but growls at yippy and hiper dogs.. you know, all bichons are different.

She will start panting real hard and wanting to nest (make a bed for her babies)

Bishon's are known as the "cry baby" dogs for the most part because they form extreamly strong bonds with their owners. You can think of a bishon as being like a child with very bad separation issues. But this becomes better with age. Not that having an enthusiastic welcome everytime you leave and enter a room is annoying or anything...

It usually depends on their size but an average sized bishon, at one foot in height, should be between 15-20 lbs.

Bichons don't try to be sick it just happens. My bichon is always getting sick. It is usually what you are feeding it for dog food that isn't agreeing with his stomache. or if he has to much human food.

Yes but not lots the need regular haircuts though but they are adorable.

Bichon frise's do not live in the wild. They are a purely human bred species and lack any defensive physical abilitys to survive out in the wild. Unless you count excessive cuteness as a defense.

If choosing to purchase a bichon fries dog male or female will have to be picked. Some say the males are more attached and the females are more independent. Check beneath the dog to know if the bichon fries is male or female.

Natural body oils make Bichon's hair turn brown in those spots sometimes.

well if you check bichon rescue online and scroll down, click on available for adoption it will show you all dogs they have for adoption. just go to www.bichonrescue.com. also if you go to the pound you can get one there for free and you are saving a dog. Hope this helps!!! i heard that during the holidays around xmas time the shelters with dogs that need to be adopted are cheap. you should check the shelter to adopt a Bichon. Also, I got mine from a breeder for $300. Good luck Bichon Frises are extremely good pets, but you are wrong if you think that the only cost is buying the dog. I have my own Bichon Frise and she ate a washing machine tablet! We had to pay £4,000 for the vet bills. Also, Bichons are very fussy about their food. My Annie only likes this £13.00 food. But I know a place in Pangbourne where they give away Bichon Frise puppies for free so if you live in that area you might want to check it out. I got Annie for £350 which I think is better buying your puppies from breeder rather than getting it for free. ==
