The American Kennel Club or the AKC recognized the Bichon Frise as an official dog breed only in 1971. This breed, though small in size needs exercise too. Bichon Frise do not shed, but some hairs do become loose and could entangle with the rest of the coat, causing it to mat. Bichon Frise dogs are very responsive, affectionate and adore cuddling with family members. Originally a French word, the Bichon Frise dogs may live for up to 15 years or more. There are various physical activities that could serve and give the bit of daily exercise your Bichon Frise needs. Taking him out on the leash to walk a few laps in the yard or even rigorous indoor games will work just fine. Some of the major health problems that could possibly affect this breed are allergies, Cushing's disease and patellar luxation. Their white puffy coat may need trimming and scissoring occasionally and should be brushed every other day. Good grooming practices are needed for all Bachon Frise dogs, not just to make them look good but to avoid skin problems and allergies as well. However, this breed of dog first came in the United States sometime around 1950s
