Tell me about Bichons

[CazD]

Following the death of my beloved dog, I am considering getting another for the sake of my remaining terrier, who seems at least as heartbroken as I am. My dog groomer has suggested I perhaps consider an ex-breeding bitch and I have therefore scrolled through the dogs on the Many Tears website. There seems to be a lot of Bichons. Does anyone know much about them as a breed. What are the drawbacks to them - apart from the obvious clipping?

I had a quick look online and came across this website http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1573220/owning_a_bichon_frise_for_a_pet_advantages.html

Hope this gives you a bit more information

My gran has a 13 year old Bichon who is amazing and she's had her since she was 8 weeks old. Quiet, loving, lets all other dogs paw her to death without even a whimper - in fact, I can hand on my heart say that she has never growled in her life. Her coat is manageable - I don't think they're a breed who particularly like rolling in mud or swimming tbh! She has a clip every couple of months. She is however, the most stupid dog ever and has been hard to train to do anything

I spose there will always be bad eggs as there are in all breeds but I would unreservedly recommend them

Intelligent (easy to train), fun loving, very hardy, very active when allowed to be (would be fab fo agility).
Need very regular grooming, love to be fussed and are a laugh a minute, very faithful little dogs and make fab companions. I really cannot say anything bad about the breed they are def one of the smaller breeds I would highly recommend.
