It Is In The Name - The Bichon Frise Puppy
- 31/10/2010
Small-breed dogs are growing in popularity in every country. For many families, they are the perfect combination of playtime and downtime. The Bichon Frise is one such dog. Its name means curly lap dog, and while like most small dogs it needs constant, proper grooming, it is also a non-shedding breed making it perfect for owners with allergies. A Bichon Frise puppy is full of life and ready to explore; it is intelligent and bold, undeterred and fearless in the face of other dogs and people alike.
A Bichon Frise puppy will want to make friends with everyone, and it is the perfect dog for a family with small children because it rarely gets angry. It will sometimes nip during play, but it never bites or scratches. Loyal watchdogs, Bichon Frise dogs will guard the family faithfully, protecting children and adults alike. Most Bichon Frise puppy names are based on the breeds' unending energy and unbounded dedication.
For individuals with allergies, a Bichon Frise puppy is a good dog to consider due to its non-shedding coat. While this is no guarantee, chances are good that this could be the perfect match. The Bichon Frise itself is at risk for allergies and skin conditions, so it is important to groom and bathe the dog often. This maintenance can be costly, but a trip to the groomer at least once every three months will mean a healthy, happy pet.
If the Bichon Frise puppy is groomed from an earlier age, it will be easier to train the dog to not fight the brush, as well as start the dog off right with a healthy coat. To prevent tangles in the fur, owners should brush the dog at home at least twice a week on top of its visits to the groomer. A Bichon Frise puppy should also be bathed often to prevent the fur from matting, and a dog blow dryer should always be used in the place of a human blow dryer. Tearstains or mucus can be cleared from around the eyes and mouth with a damp cloth, and nail clippers are essential in keeping its paws well manicured.
Even with the necessary maintenance, the Bichon Frise is a wonderful breed. It is a happy dog with beautiful features. The creamy white fur and dark black eyes are the epitome of innocence and love. With such beautiful features, what owner would not want to keep his or her Bichon Frise puppy well groomed? The dog combines the both of best worlds. A fun, lively lap dog with the loyalty and dedication of a guard dog. His bark may be worse than his bite, but families will never have to worry about an intruder going unnoticed.
The price of a Bichon Frise puppy averages five hundred dollars, but may be more for a higher-quality show dog with an impressive family tree. Owners must be prepared for other incidental charges, however, as one trip to the groomer can cost anywhere from thirty to forty dollars.
Families should always visit with their Bichon Frise puppy before bringing him home to ensure the match is perfect, and these dogs should never be purchased from puppy mills or dog brokers. A respectable breeder is always the best choice when buying any new dog, and especially with a dog as wonderful as the Bichon Frise.
