Bichons are prone to patellar luxation, bladder stones (regular access to fresh water and monitoring urine health matters), and a cluster of eye conditions including cataracts and glaucoma. Dental disease is also common in the breed and worth addressing early with regular brushing.
A quality small-breed diet in measured portions; adequate hydration is worth emphasizing given the breed's bladder stone risk.
The curly, powder-puff coat needs brushing several times a week to prevent matting, plus regular professional grooming to maintain the breed's signature rounded look — a genuine ongoing commitment.
Bichons are intelligent and eager to please, training well with positive reinforcement; early socialization helps with a tendency toward separation anxiety in a breed that bonds closely with its family.
The Bichon Frise descends from Mediterranean water-dog stock, likely originating in the Canary Islands before spreading through Spain, Italy, and France, where it became a favored companion of European nobility by the Renaissance. The modern breed was standardized in France and Belgium in the early 20th century; the AKC recognized it in 1972.
Bred purely as a companion for most of its history, the Bichon Frise has a famously cheerful, affectionate, people-oriented temperament — the breed's small size and hypoallergenic-leaning low-shed coat have made it an enduringly popular family dog.
