The Bichon’s mouth is relatively short, so if you see one with a longer mouth, it is likely to be a Poodle with a similar look to the Bichon. Toy VIPs, standard VIPs and Bichons are all small dogs and can be cut into teddy bear shapes, so many people are prone to confuse them, but it should be noted that teddy is a shape name, not a dog breed, so we can identify Bichons and VIPs based on the length of their mouths, which are generally shorter, with smaller ears and higher ear positions. A purebred Bichon’s mouth is shorter and more rounded, with a pointy mouth, most likely due to impure bloodlines caused by crossbreeding. Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that the hair on the side of the mouth is trimmed more when the hair is trimmed, which may also result in a pointed mouth shape. But generally speaking, the bears’ mouths are not very prominent, and the size of the mouth is about three quarters of the head.
