If you're looking for a mild tempered dog to give your family companionship, a Bichon Frise is the perfect solution. These sweet little dogs are excellent companions for any family, and their long lifespan means that they can spend years with you and your children. One of the most important things to remember about the Bichon Frise is that their lovely white coat requires daily combing to prevent mats, which can lead to more severe skin conditions.
There are two basic cuts that you will find in the Bichon Frise breed - the show cut, and the Bichon Frise puppy cut. Most owners who have no intention of showing their dogs prefer the Bichon Frise puppy cut, as it is much shorter and easier to maintain. Giving your dog a puppy cut may be the perfect solution for you if you don't plan on entering your dog into any competitions.
Maintaining a Bichon Frise puppy cut is much easier than a show cut. The short fur also makes it much simpler to comb out the mats, which can cause your dog to have severe skin issues if not removed. Your dog groomer can show you the proper way to maintain a Bichon Frise puppy cut; and remember to have your dog's fur trimmed every month and a half.
If you take your dog to a groomer for his cut, you need to remember to take him every six to eight weeks, in order to keep the cut short enough to properly maintain.
Another thing that Bichon Frise owners need to remember, even with a Bichon Frise puppy cut, is that the fur will need to be pulled from their dog's ears at each brushing. This can be done easily, as all you have to do is gently pull the hair from inside the ear.
The Bichon Frise is once of the most energetic little dogs that a family can have, so keeping your dog's coat cut in a Bichon Frise puppy cut can also contribute to a much more pleasant experience for your dog when he or she plays.
It is also important to remember to keep the fur around their eyes trimmed on a regular basis, and to pull the hair from their ears each time you brush their fur.
Of course, the Bichon Frise puppy cut is only for those dog owners who have no intention of showing their dogs in competitions. But if you're looking for a good way to keep your dog looking good as a pet only (not to mention an easier way to keep their coat free from matting), then a Bichon Frise puppy cut is definitely the way to go. Grooming time is a great time to bond with your dog, so enjoy it!
