Bichon Frise Dog

Description: This is a small dog that is about 9 to 12 inches in height, with the bitches being slightly smaller. Their weight is between 7 to 12 pounds. This sturdy but little dog looks like a ball of fluff. When cut to the breeds show standard it looks round, this can be in a puppy cut, which is the same length over the whole body. It can also have a poodle cut, or puffy coat with the muzzle and feet clipped short. The skull is slightly round to look at. The muzzle is shorter than the skull and not pointed. Their eyes can be brown or black. Their ears are dropped close to the head and are covered in their long hair. In this breed, the teeth should meet in a scissor bite. Their legs are straight and in good proportion to the body. Their tail is carried over their back. They have a wonderful double coat that is soft and curly. Their outer coat is three to four inches and is coarser than the soft substantial undercoat. Colours are cream, grey apricot and the solid white, which is the favoured in the show ring.

History: This little dog’s history goes back to the 13th century. They have travelled lots and due to their sunny disposition were used as barter by many sailors. They became popular in Spain. They became known as the sailor’s dog also enjoying water and retrieving, but it is not a true retriever or water dog. Here we see a dog whose role is one of companion. Their popularity went up dramatically in the court of Henry III. This breed became the favourite of the French courts in the 16th century. In the 19th century, we see the dog has gone from the courts to working for a living, by being a circus dog and popular with organ grinder’s to attract a crowd. This little dog was brought to America in1955. Nowadays this dog is a companion dog. It is descended from the Barbet Water Spaniel and the poodle, where it gets its lovely coat.

Temperament: This, as in its history, is a good companion, loving to be with its human family. This dog is intelligent, bold and lively showing great affection. It is not a yappy dog, and is easy to train and with their charm want the owner to be happy. Here we have a dog that is naturally sociable, being fine with all family members. They are fine with other pets and good within the canine world. As you can imagine here we have a dog that is great with children. On saying all this, these dogs can make a good watchdog. Here we have a naturally obedient and competitive. Potty training this dog can be a challenge, but this breed gets there in the end. Needing firm rules, giving the dog the knowledge it needs to please you. Good leadership is needed by all dogs, but here we see a dog that will love to follow a good leader, and you will get the best from this breed. Without this the dog can bark obsessively, have separation anxiety, and become a snappy dog, far from the dog we have first talked about. All this doesn’t need to happen, with good leadership from you. Needing daily walks with its family this dog will be happy and balanced.

Health issues: This breed can have epilepsy, cataracts, skin problems and this also includes sensitivity to flea bites, dislocated kneecaps, ear problems and watery eyes.

Grooming: With bathing, needed monthly, and grooming, a few times a week, you will still have to take this dog to a saloon, for professional grooming monthly.

Living conditions: This is a happy breed and will just want to be with its human family, and so this dog can live in an apartment easily providing they have daily walks, play will help get that energy out but all dogs love to have a walk. This dog is fine without a garden, but you have to walk this dog.

Adding a Buzz to Your Family With a Bichon Frise

Sunday, June 19th, 2011

bichon frise buzz

The Bichon Frise has a unique personality trait. Many owners refer to it as the “Bichon Buzz” or “Bichon Blitz”. During a “Buzz” or “Blitz” the Bichon Frise with run around the house or yard in a crazy burst of excitement. In some cases this includes jumping and bouncing off furniture and running from room to room or place to place with no reason, just spur-of-the-moment excitement! Barking usually accompanies this behavior, but it is meant out of shear joy. Each “Buzz” or “Blitz” is unique for only those that witness it to see!

The Bichon Frise is also reported to be hypoallergenic. However, allergies can vary considerably by individual so although the breed might be easy on some people with allergies to pet dander, this breed may not be ideal for everyone with allergies to pet dander. These dogs do shed, but regular grooming keeps this to a minimum and therefore is less like to exacerbate any allergies.

Owners suggest brushing the dog on a daily basis and getting a professional bathing, cleaning and grooming done about every three months. The eyes need daily cleaning to wipe the tear stains that appear on the dogs delicate white fur. This dog does require a lot of time on a daily basis and is best for families that can provide the time to properly care for the dog. Having older children to share in the responsibly is recommend over having children that are still young enough to require lots of care themselves.

Bichon Frise: The Popular Cartoon Dog?

The Bichon Frise is a small dog whose breed originated in Spain and Belgium and later moved into France. The name Bichon Frise is French for “curly lap dog”. This non-shedding, hypoallergenic breed is noted to be of medium-high intellect, making them easier to train and great companion dogs that interact well with children and other animals.

The Bichon descended from the Water Spaniel and was used in trade by the Spanish sailors as they travelled the continents. In the 1300′s, Italian sailors highly regarded the breed and the Bichon Frise became popular with Italian nobility.

Since the days of sailing the Bichon loves water and retrieving games, and is a great companion to humans. The breed had great success in France during the Renaissance period, adored by King Francis I in 1515-1547 and also by King Henry III in 1574-1589. By March 5th, 1933 the purebreds were accepted into the Societe Centrale Canine, in France.

Anyone who is familiar with the “Tintin” books would know of the little white dog named “Milou” or “Snowy”. The breed was recognized in Australia in the 1960′s and was brought to the United States in 1955. The Bichon Frise purebreds were officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1973.

Bichon Frise Health

Although most dogs will be healthy, this breed is predisposed to some health issues. Asking about your dogs health status with breeders or shelter staff is the best way to purchase a dog in optimum health. Following up on a regular basis with a trusted veterinarian with help maximize your dog’s longevity. Some of the common health problems in the Bichon Frise breed may include:

Cancers -Usually occurs in aging Bichons and can affect various organs. Treatable with chemotherapy and/or radiation, but may not be curable. Only a veterinarian can offer the best advice for treatment and prognosis based on the individual dog, type of cancer and severity of the cancer at time of diagnosis

Liver Failure – Treatable with diet modifications and medication if necessary. Usually occurs secondary to liver shunting.

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) -Can be congenital, or brought on by a toxin or parasite. The condition results in the dog’s body failing to recognize it’s own red blood cells. Therefore, the dog’s immune system destroys the red blood cells in a failed attempt at self defense. Anemia results. The condition can be treated by medication, blood transfusion or surgical removal of the dog’s spleen. This condition may not always be curable.

Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia (ITP) -Is a hereditary disorder in which the dog has low levels of platelets, which are cells in the blood responsible for blood clot formation. Dogs with ITP are at higher risk of developing bleeds, and being unable to clot when injured. Some dogs develop minor bleeds, such as nose bleeds with prolonged bleeding times, and in some cases the disorder is severe, leading to internal bleeding that can become a major medical emergency. Treatment for ITP consists of medication and blood transfusions, but there is no cure. Develop a good relationship with a veterinarian and see that veterinarian consistently to maximize your dogs symptomatic treatment options.

All breeds are susceptible to specific disorders. Each breed can be affected to varying degrees. The idea of listing the common illnesses for each breed is not to discourage you from wanting a specific breed if you find it a perfect fit for your family; but to help you better prepare for the future health of your dog. As well as provide you with the knowledge necessary to get a dog in the best optimum health.

Like people, it is not possible to predict what a dog’s health may be over the course of their life time. Just as with people, some are very healthy with only mild, acute needs for medical care, while others develop chronic issues needing life long care support. Still others may need emergency medical care due to accidents, illness or injury.

I encourage owners to develop a strong relationships with a consistent veterinarian who the owner and dog both can bond with. Adequate medical care is a financial expense, but a necessity for being a responsible dog owner.
