About King
Meet King! This lovable canine is a bichon puppy with a playful, fun personality and a cuteness that’ll make you swoon! He’s sure to be your favorite shipmate, no matter where the voyage takes you.
The Bichon Frise has a long history and is considered part of the Barbichon breed types. Barbichon refers to the ancient dog breeds that make up a clan of little white dogs. It includes the Bichon Frise, Bolognese, Maltese, and Havanese.
The Spanish used the Bichon breed type as sailing dogs and brought them to Tenerife, the largest island of the Canary Islands, where the breed became known as the Bichon Tenerife. These dogs were also popular with the Italian nobility in the 14th century.
However, one of the facts about Bichon Frise is that it was the French that developed the Bichon into the gentle lap dog we know as today’s Bichon Frise. The AKC first recognized the Bichon Frise in 1971 and it gained full breed recognition in 1973 as part of the Non-Sporting Group.
Potential health concerns to be aware of in Bichon Frise can include bladder infections, cataracts and other eye diseases, and patellar luxation.Good breeding practices can cut down on some of these health issues and make a big difference in the health of puppies.
Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies. So, make sure you ask about the health and genetic history of both parents and about any health tests that have been done. The national breed club recommends a hip evaluation, ophthalmologist evaluation, and patella evaluation at a minimum. These little dogs can also be prone to allergies, but there are ways to help your dog survive seasonal allergies to help them get through it.
The Bichon Frise is highly adaptable. Although they thrive in a house with a fenced-in yard, they can adapt very well to apartment living as long as they plenty of attention and some exercise every day.
They do well in most climates. As with most dog breeds, they are sensitive to heat and extreme cold. Bichon Frise can adjust to about any lifestyle as long as they can spend time with their families and don’t have to spend a lot of time alone.
