There is no doubt that Bichon Frise dogs are incredible adorable and it can take only one second to completely fall head over heals in love with that particular breed of dog. But before you bring home a Bichon Frise, it is important to know exactly what type of dog that you are dealing with, as not every dog is alike in their personality and what you can expect out of them.

The last thing you want is to look back and realize that you made a mistake because the Bichon Frise did not live up to the expectations that you had already set in your mind. Learn about the breed and you may be surprised about how you feel in the end and maybe you may find yourself looking at getting another breed all together.

A lot of problems that people have when trying to pick a breed that is suitable for them are that they may live in the city or somewhere where there is not a lot of yard space or they may live in a tiny apartment. But luckily for them, Bichon Frise dogs do not require a lot of exercise and will do well in those locations or with people like the elderly who cannot get out that often.

Also, the Bichon Frise make excellent watchdogs, but not attack dogs as they will alert you to the presence of a stranger but they generally will not attack due to their lack of aggressiveness. Also, even if you currently do not have any other pets at home, you may someday get the itch to adopt again and there will be no need to worry as the Bichon Frise is very well behaved around other pets.

As with everything in life there are good points and bad points. And Bichon Frise dogs are no exception to that rule. While their curly coat is excellent for those who suffer from allergies, it can mean a lot of grooming time so you must be willing to go through all of that.

This means a lot of bonding time spent brushing and clipping in order to maintain the look of the Bichon Frise that we all know and love.

And along with that, they are known for having a lot of skin problems during their lifetime, which could end up meaning a lot of trips to the vet's office for treatment. If all of that is still sounding good to you and you want a Bichon Frise, then you are probably a good match for each other.

So now all you have to do is pick the one that you think is the best for you and your home.
