Being owners of this wonderful breed of dog for many years, we have come to the conclusion that being a Bichon owner will make you a happier person. They are the most wonderful companions and will be most loving and forgiving dog you have ever owned. MyBichon.co.uk is simply a record of what we have experienced over the years, from raising puppies to our search and discovery of a tear stain solution that worked for our Bichon, we hope that by stopping by you might come across something that you might otherwise have not.
The information on these pages is not based on medical knowledge or any previous breeding experience, it is simply an account from an owners perspective of daily life with our pets. If you get around to reading any of our reports it would be great to hear what you thought. This site is unfunded which is the only reason we use google ads. Please excuse us for that. My Bichon is updated weekly so please do come back and see what we've been up to.
The wonderful sprit of the Bichon is evident in everything they do, from simply sitting on your lap to the excitement of a walk. The Bichon is just happy to go along with what you decide to do today. They make such wonderful companions for any age group, especially young children.
They will happily put up with being pulled, pushed and picked up by the toddlers in your family, without batting an eyelid, but remember, they are small dogs with fragile bones, so it's better not to allow them to be picked up too often. With that in mind, DON'T forget your pet insurance!
Walks can be few and far between or regular daily hikes, the bichon will fit around you and be the most faithful, friendly dog you have ever owned. They will become an important part of your family and many people who have owned a Bichon is a convert for life.
Simply put, we would say that owning a Bichon Frise will genuinely make you a happier person.
The Bichon Frise 'Cotton Wool' Puppy

The bichon puppy has a close resemblance to the Maltese puppy, with its soft white fluffy coat, and is one of the cutest puppies you will ever see. Some have very faint pale markings on the coat which disappear as they grow. The Bichon's characteristic pure white, curly coat starts to develop at around six months of age.
One of the most unique features of the coat is that it is non shedding which is great for allergy sufferers and also your carpets. Lots of people who have severe allegic reactions when in contact with other dogs, rarely have any reaction at all when they are with a Bichon Frise and so find that they can own one without problems.
Although constant daily brushing is advised, we have found that they are not high maintenance dogs and a quick daily brush is enough. A good groomonce a week with a good tangle comb helps to keep the coat stay in great condition. Remember, family pets are not show dogs so you will know when your dog needs a good groom and when a simple brush through will do. Small tangles in the fur are easily trimmed off. Don't let the stories of high maintenence dogs put you off owning one, we have found they are not.
We hope you enjoy visiting our website and please call back again soon and see what we've been up to.
