It seems that most dog owners do
not concern themselves with pedigree with it comes to finding and choosing a pet.
They are quite content to pick their new family member from an animal shelter,
a friend giving away puppies, or even a cardboard box outside of a grocery store.
Fido is cute, the kids love him, and there is not much pondering over his spotty
lineage. That is perfectly fine. To a lot of pet owners, a dog is a dog. There
are some, however, who are not satisfied with the Heinz 57 “mystery meat” pet.
They want a pedigree animal, whether to train as a show dog or just to have.
The
Bichon Frise is one of the most delightful of the small dog breeds. Coming onto
the scene in the fifteenth century in the Mediterranean region, these little dogs
are covered in an avalanche of white curls. It is a cross between a Barbet water
spaniel and a poodle. They are full of energy and love to be the center of attention.
Bichons are very intelligent and love showing off newly learned tricks. Yet, they
are just as content nestled in your lap while you watch television or read a book.
