Some speculate that the origin of bichon be the result of apheresis, or shortening, from the word barbichon ('little poodle'), a derivative of barbiche ('shaggy dog'); However, this is not possible, because the (proved 1588) is older than barbichon (proved 1694).

History
The Bichon Frize is often described as a French dog. Although the breed type of bichon was originally Spanish, used as a cruise dog, the French developed it into a variety of soft lap dogs. This type of bichon emerges from the water dog, and is derived from the poodle and good dogs of Barbet or one of the spaniel descendants of water class. Modern Bichon has developed into four categories: Bichon Frise or Tenerife, Maltese, Bolognaise, and Havanese, often treated as separate breeds.
Because of their happy disposition, the ancestral bichon traveled a lot and was often used as a barter by sailors as they moved from continent to continent. The dogs found early success in Spain and it is generally believed that Spanish sailors introduced their early breeds to Tenerife in the Canary Islands. In the 14th century, Italian seafarers rediscovered the little dogs on their journey and were credited with returning them to continental Europe, where they became favorites of the Italian nobility. Like the style with dogs in court, their coats are cut "lion style", like the modern Portuguese Water Dog.
Tenerife, often called Bichon, was successful in French during the Renaissance under Francis I (1515-1547), but its popularity skyrocketed in Henry III's palace (1574-1589). This breed also enjoys great success in Spain as a favorite of the Infantas and painters in Spanish schools often include them in their works. For example, famous artist Francisco de Goya, including Bichon in some of his works.
The interest in this breed was renewed during the reign of Napoleon III, but subsequently diminished until the late 19th century when he became a "common dog", ran on the streets, accompanied Barbary organ grinders, led the blind, and did tricks in the circus. and exhibitions.
On March 5, 1933, an official breed standard was adopted by Socià © à © tà ©  © Centrale Canine, the national kennel club for France. This is largely due to the Belgian Belgian Belgian's success of The Adventures of Tintin, featuring a small, white fox, terrier dog named Milou (Snowy in English edition). As the breed was known by two names at the time, Tenerife and Bichon, president of the FÃÆ'  © dation Cynologique Internationale proposed a name based on the characteristics that the dog presented - Bichon Frisà ©. ("FrisÃÆ' ©" means "curly", referring to the breed coat.) On October 18, 1934, Bichon FrisÃÆ'  © was admitted to stud stud from SociÃÆ' © tÃÆ'  © Centrale Canine.
Bichon was brought to the United States in 1955. The first US-born Bichon trash was flayed in 1956. In 1959 and 1960, two breeders in various parts of the US acquired the Bichons, which provided the origin for further development of the breed. country.
The Bichon Frize became eligible to enter the AKC Miscellaneous Class on September 1, 1971. In October 1972, this breed was accepted for enrollment at the American Kennel Club Stud Book . On April 4, 1973, the breed became eligible to be featured in the Non-Sporting Group on the AKC dog show. In 2001, Bichon Frise was named J.R. won the best-in-show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. In the United States, Bichon Frise is ranked 40th most popular in 2013 according to the American Kennel Club.
The Bichon was introduced to Australia in 1976. The first bichon in Australia was Am Ch Beaumonde. Another, named Snowdrift of Leander, was imported by Harry and Margaret Begg. The first listed garbage was in March 1977, raised by Diane Crosby-Browne and raised by Ch Leander Snow Cap from Leander Snow Bubble.
Description
Appearance
The Bichon Frize is a small dog that weighs about 5-10 kg (10-20 pounds) and stands 23-30 cm (9-12 inches) in the withers, but a slightly larger dog is not uncommon. The skull is slightly rounded and the muzzle is not sharp. The tail is prepared for long and curly and carried on the back. It has a black nose and dark round eyes; white hair consists of curly, solid coats with a bit of shedding (like poodle in this case), although many of these species tend to have fewer curling hairs than others. A small amount of buff, cream, or apricot color can be seen around the ears, snouts, claws or body, but usually these colors do not exceed 10% of the body. The color of the FCI/AKC Standard coat is pure white; other colors like apricot or gray are not recognized. White coat is preferred in the show ring. The head and legs are proportional in size to the body, and the ears and tail are natural (not anchored or truncated ). The coat is often trimmed to make the hair look like the same length. Bichon Frises can have medium-high intelligence.
Temperament
The American Kennel Club refers to Bichon Frize as "cheerful" and "cheerful", and a standard call for dogs that are "gentle, sensitive, playful and loving." The dogs are generally very friendly and do well with the owners who bring them along on the show. They are loving and intelligent. Bichon do well with children because they love to play and have lots of energy. If affiliated with a specific area and driven by the owner, they can become highly territorial. Developed as a kind of companion dog, Bichon Frios tend to get along well with children and other animals. Bichon Frises is very obedient if training begins early and continues.
Although not considered a retriever or water dog with modern standards, this type of bichon, due to their ancestors as a sailor's dog, has an interest in water and enjoys taking. But on the ship, the role of the animal is a companion dog.
Training
Bichon Frises is easily trained. Training should be done with a soft, but firm hand; however, you should not scold or use harsh correction. They respond well to be trained with the provision of a treat after completing the lesson.
Bichon Frises are very friendly, but, if they are not trained well, they can become overactive. The Bichon Frize Club of America recommends not to buy this dog from pet stores and instead adopt from a pound.
Allergies and Common Problems to watch out for
Bichon Frises requires more than the average owner or professional hair care, several times per week up to every day. Coat combed to remove loose hair, mats, and tangles. Bichon Frises may require more detailed owners or professional care approximately every four to eight weeks. Daily brushing of the mantle can help prevent webbing. If the Bichon layer becomes very tangled, they can develop a hematoma, most likely in the ear. Bichon Friese is more susceptible than average to ear infections. Since Bichon Frises is a white dog, frequent bathing is necessary to maintain its color.
Bichon Frises are prone to scratching and chewing themselves in the summer because of the warm and humid air, which usually results in serious skin conditions. They are relatively hypoallergenic, but they themselves suffer from allergies to ticks, tics, chemicals, pollen, dust, etc. Knee loose joints, ear infections, cataracts, diabetes, and heart disease are also common ailments that proliferate known to suffer.
Quality hypoallergenic and shedding
Bichon Frises often appears on the list of dogs that do not shed (mabung). The care needed to treat the Bichon Frize coat helps remove hair loss, and wrinkles on the mantle help prevent dead and dried hair from escaping into the environment, such as with a poodle coat. The frequent pruning, scrubbing, and bathing needed to keep Bichon looking for the best removes hair and hair and controls other strong allergens, saliva.
Bichon Frises are considered suitable for people with allergies, as they are raised to become hypoallergenic. It is important to note that human sensitivity to dog hair, feathers, and saliva varies greatly. Although hair, feathers, and saliva can be minimized, they are still there and can stick to "clothes and carpets and furniture in your home"; Inhaling allergens, or licked by dogs, can trigger reactions in sensitive people.
Age
Bichon Frize in the United Kingdom and in the United States in Canada (according to the owners survey) has an average life span of about 12-13 years or more, with Bichon Frises in England likely to live longer than Bichon Frises in North America, despite lower recording age in England. The length of the breed is equal to other breeds of its size, and is somewhat longer than the average dog in general.
The longest life of 34 late Bichons in the 2004 UK survey died at 16.5 years. The oldest Bichon Frises that have reliable records in various North American surveys have died at 19 years.
In the 2004 UK Kennel Club survey, the main causes of Bichon Frise's death were old age (23.5%) and cancer (21%). In the 2007 US/Canadian farmer survey, the leading causes of death were cancer (22%), unknown cause (14%), hematology (11%), and elderly (10%). The cause of death hematology is divided between autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP). AIHA and ITP are responsible for the greatest number of Bichon Frize "lost years" (the size of the extent to which a premature breed member is killed). While cancer is the more common cause of death than AIHA and ITP, Bichon Frises who died of cancer died at an average age of 12.5 years. Haematological death occurs at an average age of only 5 years. Bichon Frises in the UK survey had a lower rate of hematologic mortality (3%) than in the USA/Canada survey (11%).
Bichon is also prone to liver shunt. It is often undetectable until later in life, leading to unresolvable complications, and therefore liver failure. Bichons who are underweight, stunted from dirt, or have a negative reaction to high protein foods are more likely to suffer from shunts. When detected early, shunt can often be repaired through surgery. However, in later days the shunt is detected, the lower the likelihood of successful operation. Shunt can be kept under control through a special low-protein diet and through drugs to support liver function, helping to flush toxins that accumulate in the kidneys and liver, and control seizures that often occur as a symptom of the shunt. Without surgery, Bichons with live shunts averaged aged 4-6 years. Other symptoms include dark urine, lethargy, loss of appetite, and increased thirst. Seizures come in all forms; episodes of seizures can begin early in life but may not be detected. Early seizures may appear as Bichon in a hypnotic state or episode of vertigo, or being drunk. Shunts are a serious condition of smaller breeds, though often associated with Bichons.
AIHA and ITP
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA, also called immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, or IMHA) and immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP) are responsible for many early Bichon Frze deaths. These diseases can strike with little or no warning and kill very quickly. At AIHA, the dog's immune system attacks its own red blood cells, which causes life-threatening severe anemia. Symptoms include weakness, loss of energy, lack of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, dark urine, and pale or yellow gums.
ITP often accompanies AIHA. In ITP, blood platelets (which cause blood clots) are destroyed. The most common clinical sign is bleeding on the skin and mucous membranes. Mortality rates of 20% to 80% are reported.
