There is generally not a lot of people that would try to argue the fact the Bichon Frise Dogs are simply cute and very easy to fall in love with. But like with any other big decision that you make in life, you will really want to take the time to consider all of the pros and cons to bringing a Bichon Frise into your home, life and heart.
It is important, as with any breed of dog, to make sure that you and that little puppy can leave together in harmony. So, before making that big decision to expand the size of your family, make sure that the lifestyle of the Bichon Frise and your lifestyle match up and you will have many years of happiness ahead of you. Make the wrong decision and you will either have to live with your regrets or find the dog a new home, which can be hard.
A lot of problems that people have when trying to pick a breed that is suitable for them are that they may live in the city or somewhere where there is not a lot of yard space or they may live in a tiny apartment. But luckily for them, Bichon Frise dogs do not require a lot of exercise and will do well in those locations or with people like the elderly who cannot get out that often.
Also, the Bichon Frise make excellent watchdogs, but not attack dogs as they will alert you to the presence of a stranger but they generally will not attack due to their lack of aggressiveness. Also, even if you currently do not have any other pets at home, you may someday get the itch to adopt again and there will be no need to worry as the Bichon Frise is very well behaved around other pets.
As mentioned, their curly coat is not one to shed so allergy suffers are in the clear, at least where Bichon Frise dogs are concerned. But their curly coat does need grooming often, which means a lot of brushing and a lot of clipping in order to maintain their fancy look.
Also, you must be prepared to take a little bit of extra time and compassion for house breaking because the Bichon Frise are well know for their problems with house breaking.
Their beautiful coat is not one that can go without maintenance as it needs to be brushed and clipped quit frequently. And as far as costly concerns, this particular breed of dog is well known for their skin problems, which could very well require a vet's help in treating.
Now, if that was not enough to scare you away from the Bichon Frise, then this may very well be the dog for you.
