Bichon Frise

A Bichon Frisé is a small breed of dog of the bichon type, with the name translating to "curly-haired dog". The typical lifespan of a Bichon Frise is 12 to 15 years. The lifespan of this breed is comparable to that of other dogs of its size and slightly longer than that of purebred dogs in general. The Bichon Frisé is a relatively healthy breed. They may have cataracts, diabetes, or allergies, which may lead to skin conditions and cause itching resulting in scratching and chewing their paws.

This cute tiny dog has a double coat that makes it look like a moving pile of cotton balls. All over its body, its fur grows in gentle curls and is incredibly smooth and silky. This small dog was bred in 15th-century Spain to serve as the royal companion. It weighs around 12 pounds, the same as a Giant Angora rabbit.
