The most common health issues for Bichons are
However, like any other dog, you can have other health issues arise. Since I have a background in health care, I understand the issues. And I’ll gladly share my knowledge with you.
Training the Willful Bichon Frise
Training a Bichon Frise can be a bit challenging. These cute little white dogs do have a mind of their own. They need to be handled with gentleness, yet they also need to understand who is in charge. And it should NOT be your Bichon!
There is a right way to train Bichon Frises and there is a wrong way. And it’s very easy to mess up and find that your cute little Bichon is now in charge of your household. Your Bichon has become the leader of your Pack!
Learning how to handle your little bundle of joy (and frustration) is the difference between having an adorable well behaved little dog and a little white monster.
If you don’t address Bichon Frise behavior problems early, they will quickly get out of hand.
But training your Bichon Frise does not have to be a nightmare! I’ll show you how to make this easy and fun for both of you.
My top recommendation is to use the gentle and effective methods taught by Doggy Dan. You can sample well over a hundred of his videos that teach you, step by step, how to train even the most stubborn dog. You’ll have access for 3 days for just $1.
Bichon Frise Care
While Bichons do not have a lot of health problems, they do have a lot of allergies. With a little knowledge, you can avoid serious issues and keep allergic reactions to a minimum. Choosing a good diet for your Bichon is key to allergy control.
And then your most common issue will probably be Bichon tear stains. They are very common and unsightly, but there are products to help with eye care and ways to get rid of those nasty tear stains.
Unfortunately, as your Bichon gets older, just like other breeds, she will have more health issues.
Grooming Bichon Frises
With Bichons, you can choose to groom them with an informal puppy cut or with a formal Bichon haircut, which is the style you see at dog shows.
Of course all that white hair needs to be groomed and brushed. You will end up with a tangled mess if you neglect your Bichon Frise dog’s grooming.
However, there are ways to make this less work for you and fun for both of you.
