I'm not an ordinary little dog... I'm an extraordinary friend! The Bichon Frise is an aristocratic little dog highly prized for both its powder puff appearance and outgoing disposition. Popularly known simply as the "Bichon", it is an ancient breed dating back at least to the 1300's. The breed descends from a number of water-spaniel type canines found originally in the Mediterranean countries. The Bichon is a hearty, sturdy little lap dog. Its cheerful disposition is an ancient hallmark of the breed. The Bichon, like the original Model-T, comes in one color, but for the Bichon, the color is white. This is a small dog with a winning personality and bold spirit. The plumed tail is considered a barometer of the Bichon's temperament as it is carried gaily over the back. They are open, friendly, and affectionate -- to mention only a few of their many endearing qualities.
