Meet Teddy
Bichon Frise, 2 years old
My favourite thing about Teddy is...
His fun loving, cheeky personality. He absolutely loves meeting other dogs, big or small, and he gives off such a signal to them that even the most unfriendly pooch is won over in no time! Some owners have said āsorry my dog is not friendlyā but Teddy reads their signal and weaves his magic and they are playing together in minutes! He is also such a snuggly cuddle monster which is adorable.
The biggest challenge with Teddy is...
He is an escape artist especially trying to get into our neighbours garden to say āhello ā to their cat! He also loves to chew anything he shouldnāt be, slippers, socks being favourite.
The most surprising thing about owning a Bichon Frise is...
They sometimes love to suddenly hurtle around the house, known as the āBichon Blitzā.
What I wish Iād known about Bichon Frises is...
The are one of the most loving and affectionate breeds, sometimes called ācling onsā because they love to be with you constantly.
Did you know?
The origin of the name Bichon Frise is up for debate. Some argue it comes from the Old French term for female dog ābicheā while others say that itās a shortening of ābarbichonā, which means small poodle, and derives from ābarbicheā, meaning shaggy dog. Later on, the French coined the term ābichon Ć poil frisĆ©ā which was shortened and simplified by the English to become Bichon Frise.Ā
