Lovely bichon frise

[BuddysMom]

A guest of my next door neighbor's was walking a very pretty little dog yesterday ... (Buddy fell in love with her and the feeling seemed mutual!) I asked is that a Bichon frise and he said yes ... she was just so adorable, I was wondering if there are any owners of them out there and if so could you tell me how to pronounce Bichon frise? And are they always so sweet and non yappy?

We call 'em Bitchin' Frizzies! *snicker*

Seriously, the ones I've known were pretty sweet dogs. I really like them.

My parents have a Bichon named Maggie. She definitely has an interesting personality. She's very loving with people, but when it comes to other dogs, she's the boss. When I bring Abby over, Maggie attacks if Abby comes anywhere near her. Abby weighs about 65 pounds and Maggie weighs about 10. The funny thing is, Abby goes running with her tail between her legs. Regardless of her size, Maggie rules that house.

Anyway, she's been a wonderful dog for my family. She has glaucoma and has for years (apparently that's a fairly common disease for Bichons). She had to have one of her eyes removed a few years ago...she now has a glass eye. She has to see an eye specialist who travels down to Tallahassee once a month. I think my parents have spent more on her medical care then they have on my college! She's definitely worth it though. I'd recommend a Bichon to anyone...they're great little dogs with big dog personalities.
