Read About Bichon Frise Puppies

Bichon Frise puppies are considered to be a breed similar to the poodle. They belong to the toy breed category because of their size. ImageMost Bichon Frise weighs between 10-15 pounds once they are fully grown. These dogs are considered lap dogs. The puppy is white with a large tuft of hair on its head and long bushy ears that resemble sideburns. Bichon Frise puppies also have high pitched yelps which can become annoying after a while. Bichon Frise puppies, like other toy dogs, are best suited with older people who are able to spend lots of time with them to keep them calm and make them feel secure.

Training a new puppy is fun but can be difficult if a routine is not established within the first few weeks. Buying a crate for the puppy is a good idea because it gives private space to the dog when it wants to nap and be left alone. This sets up boundary lines. Many people keep their dogs in the crate while they are at work because these dogs have tendencies to create mess when left alone for too long. Bichon Frise puppies do not like to be left alone for long periods of time and can be clingy. They are also not good yard dogs. They like to run around but cannot be tied to a fence or left outside for long periods of time. ImageLetting the puppy eat his food in his crate will create an atmosphere that is solely the dogs. Leave the dog alone while it eats as small dogs are very territorial when it comes to food and they may try to bite those that touch their food.

After setting up physical boundaries, it is important to get down on the floor and pet the puppy. Since they are so small, these puppies get scared very easily. Getting down on their level and letting them make the first move is a good way to establish a trusting relationship. Trust to a Bichon Frise puppy is important. Like the Terrier, which is also a small dog, these puppies require a safe place to live, good food to eat, and plenty of water to drink.

After the puppy has gotten used to being in its new home, it will practice some mischief. The puppy may pee on the rug or try to get food out of the trash. By gently disciplining the dog, usually by putting it in its crate, the dog will learn what to do and what not to do. Like any dog, it takes patience and a lot of paper towels to properly train this dog. With luck, the Bichon Frise puppy grows into a friend for life.

Like other small dogs, the Bichon is not meant for people with families which include small children. The dogs can be injured easily and will bite when provoked. Overall, Bichon Frise puppies are beautiful dogs that are pleasant and fun to be around!
