How can the Bichon Frise be identified? The purebred Bichon Frise is about 9-12 inches tall at the shoulder, small in size, well-proportioned, with coordinated limbs; the Bichon Frise has a double coat, the outer layer is rough, the inner layer is dense and soft, the coat is flexible; the ears are pendulous, positioned forward and generally hidden in the coat. 1. . If the Bichon Frise is a little taller, but all indicators and appearance are very standard and proportionate, then it can be relaxed a little. But no matter what, a good purebred Bichon Frise should be no less than 9 inches tall at the shoulder and no more than 12 inches tall. A purebred Bichon Frise is a dog whose body is very well proportioned, let’s say, from the dog’s chest to the distance between the dog’s hips, 1/4 more than the dog’s entire shoulder height. And the whole body shape is relatively compact. The coat of a purebred Bichon Frise is very fluffy and soft, with a dense undercoat and a coarse, hard outer coat. A healthy Bichon Frise will have a soft and firm feeling when you touch its coat, which is as elastic as velvet. If you find that the dog’s coat does not have this quality, it means that the quality of the Bichon Frise is to be redetermined. 4. Ears The ears droop and are hidden in the long, flowing coat. If the ears are pulled toward the nosepiece, the length of the ear extends to the middle of the muzzle. The position of the ears is slightly higher than the level where the eyes are located and in a more forward position of the head. So when it is alert, the ears become part of the face.5. GaitThe purebred Bichon Frise should run with a stretchy, precise and easy movement. When viewed from the side, the front legs and hind legs extend in harmony with each other, the front body extends easily, the hind limbs drive strongly, and the back line remains firm.
