Appearance:
The Bichon Frise is a small dog that weighs approximately 10-25 lbs and stands 23–30 cm/9-15in at the withers, but slightly larger dogs are not uncommon. It has a black nose and dark round eyes, and its white hair consists of a curly outercoat and a silky undercoat, although many of the breed do tend to have less curly hair than others. As the hair of these dogs gets matted it may become a sort of orangish color. A small amount of buff, cream, or apricot color may be seen around its ears, snout, paws or body, but normally these colors do not exceed 10% of its body. The head and legs are proportionate in size to the body, and the ears and tail are natural (not docked or cropped).[1] The coat is trimmed often to make the hair seem like an even length. Bichon Frises can be medium-high intelligence.
 
temperament
The AKC refers to the Bichon Frise as "merry" and "cheerful", and the breed standard calls for a dog that is "gentle mannered, sensitive, playful and affectionate"[2]. Bred to be companion dogs, the Bichon Frise tends to get along well with both children and other animals
