The Bichon Frise'
The
Bichon Frise is a small, sturdy, white powder puff of a dog whose
merry temperament is evidenced by his plumed tail carried jauntily
over the back and his dark-eyed inquisitive expression. This cheerful
little dog looks like a gentle puffball, but is healthy and sturdy
enough for play and exercise. Bichons get along with just about
everyone, including strangers and other animals. They are active,
alert, and curious. They are also highly trainable with gentle handling.
