About the Breed
The cuddly Bichon Frisé is believed to have originated
in Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands off the west coast
of Africa. Its ancestors were brought to Europe over 400 years
ago, and became especially popular among members of the Spanish
and French aristocracy. Support for the breed declined during
the nineteenth century, however, and it became associated
with organ-grinders, who relied on its attractive appearance
to induce generous support from onlookers.
In the circus ring, its intelligence endeared it to another
audience, but it was to be the First World War that began
the welcome rise in popularity of these dogs. Soldiers returning
home with the Bichons meant that attention became focused
on the breed in Britain. A standard was first established
in France in 1933, and the breed was exported to the United
States by a Monsieur Picault and his wife in 1956.
The coat colour of the Bichon Frisé is pure white,
with the hairs being naturally curly. Unfortunately, to retain
the immaculate appearance of these little dogs, a considerable
amount of time must be devoted to grooming. Its white coat
can become muddy on even a short walk. In such cases, it is
best to let the mud dry and then brush it out of the coat,
rather than washing the legs frequently. It is usual for puppies
to have a less elaborate coat than older dogs. The Bichon
Frisé should prove a relatively easy breed to train
and makes a good companion.
