What you should know about Bichon Frise

When you think of the Bichon Frise, you might picture a small, fluffy lapdog. However, there is so much more to this charming small breed than meets the eye. Bichon Frises are known and loved for their cheerful and playful nature. They are a non-shedding, hypoallergenic dog breed which can be a good fit for people with dog allergies. 


They are also known for their gentle demeanor with children – including toddlers, newborns –  even cats!  What’s more, this gorgeous breed has a fascinating history that traces back to the Mediterranean region.


History of Bichon Frise

A long, long time ago, small, white, curly-coated dogs were popular among sailors – particularly those from Italy and Spain. Known as ‘Bichons’, these happy, cheerful dogs were often used as barter during their voyages. It's believed that Spanish sailors introduced these dogs to the Canary Islands. A few centuries down, Italian sailors brought them back to Europe, where they quickly became favorites among the Italian nobility.  


Their appeal peaked during the time of Henry III in the 16th century, who was so fond of his Bichons that he reportedly carried them in a basket suspended by ribbons around his neck.  

Over time, the Bichon Frise transitioned from royal courts to common households and even the streets, showcasing their versatility and enduring appeal.


This cute breed loves to be social and play a LOT. They have favorite toys that they love to spend time with and they are really keen to please, which makes them easily trainable.  


The Bichon Frise is a great choice for first-time pet parents, but it’s important to understand their temperament—just like with any other breed. Let’s find out if it's the best pet for you! 


Trait and Characteristics of Bichon Frise

So what are the common traits and characteristics of the Bichon Frise? First off, they are affectionate, playful, and highly intelligent. Unlike many other small breeds that are famous for their moody temperaments, Bichons are known for their cheerful disposition and adaptability. They fit right into any type of household.  


One thing to keep in mind is that Bichons are extremely social and thrive on human interaction. They are very intelligent and can be trained fast with positive reinforcement. They love being around their humans and playing with them.


While they love cuddling, expecting them to be couch potatoes is a mistake many make. They enjoy daily walks, interactive toys and games that engage their minds. Even though they are small in size, they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy. If not kept engaged, they break out in boredom-related behaviors like excessive barking or chewing.


Bichons are friendly and welcoming, even towards strangers. This quality of theirs makes them one of the best breeds for social households. They rarely show aggression and get along well with children, other pets, and even cats.  


The only area where pet parents of Bichons need to pay attention is their separation anxiety. These dogs are known to get very attached to their humans and need early training and socialization to ensure they don’t get distressed if they are left alone for some time. Consider getting a Bichon Frise only if you have the time and dedication to provide them with companionship, training, and plenty of love!
