Originally a French word, the Bichon Frise as an official dog breed only in 1971. Some of the major health problems that could possibly affect this breed are allergies, Cushing's disease and patellar luxation. Once left alone, they can become easily upset and will keep on barking until company arrives. A veterinary check up is important and it is recommended that this breed should be specifically tested for eye problems, knee dysplasia and hip dysplasia. Bichon Frise dogs are very responsive, affectionate and adore cuddling with family members. Simply stand on one side of the grass and let another family member or second owner stand at the far distance on the other side. Their white puffy coat may need trimming and scissoring occasionally and should be brushed every other day. Taking him out on the leash to walk a few laps in the yard or even rigorous indoor games will work just fine. It helps if you have access to an enclosed backyard or field. They enjoy socializing with other dogs and people, and can get along well with children. It is a small breed of dog and a member of the non-sporting group. Strangers can come up to them
