The Bichon Frisé (pronounced /ˈbiːʃɒn ˈfriːz/ or /ˈbiːʃɒn frɪˈzeɪ/; from French: bichon à poil frisé, French pronunciation: [biʃɔ̃ fʁize], meaning ‘curly-haired dog’) is a small breed of dog of the bichon type. Here are some key details about this delightful and fluffy companion:
  • Origin: The Bichon Frisé is often depicted as a French dog, but its roots are originally Spanish. It was used as a sailing dog and sometimes as a herding dog. The French developed it into a gentle lap-dog variety.
  • Appearance:
    • The Bichon Frisé has a medium-length, silky coat with corkscrew curls.
    • Their coat color is predominantly white.
    • They have a distinctive ruff around the neck and longer fur on their hind legs (called “culottes”).
  • Temperament:
    • Bichon Frisés are affectionate, sociable, and playful.
    • They get along well with children and other animals.
    • Their merry disposition makes them great companions.
  • History:
    • The breed’s association with European nobility began in the 13th century, entering the royal courts of Spain, Italy, and France.
    • Italian sailors rediscovered them during their voyages, leading to their popularity in continental Europe.
    • The Bichon Frisé became popular in French nobility during the Renaissance.
    • The official standard for the breed was adopted in France in 1933.
These little curly-haired dogs bring joy to families and have a lifespan of 12 to 21 years. 🐾❤️
