What are the characteristics of Bichon Frise

What are the characteristics of the Bichon Frise? The Bichon Frise is characterized by its small size, well-proportioned structure and overall lively look; its ears are pendulous, its eyes are round and its pupils are black or dark brown; its coat is double-layered inside and out, with the inner coat soft and dense and the outer coat coarse and elastic. 1. Purebred Bichons are small dogs, their body shape is very well-proportioned, and the general standard shoulder height is between 9.5 and 11.5 inches. The purebred Bichon Frise’s shoulder height cannot be lower than 9 inches or higher than 12 inches, if it exceeds this shoulder height range, it means that the Bichon Frise’s quality is not good enough to reach the purebred standard. 2. The Bichon Frise’s ears are slightly higher than the eyes and are in a more forward position. The eyes of a purebred Bichon Frise are round and in the front of the head; the best eye color is black or dark brown, while a circle of black or brown skin surrounds the small round eyes of the Bichon Frise. Eyes that are too large or excessively protruding, almond-shaped eyes and crooked eyes do not meet the criteria for a purebred. The muzzle is very well proportioned to the length of the head. The black lips are delicate but not pendulous. 3. The coat of the purebred Bichon Frise is very fluffy and soft, with a very dense undercoat and a coarse, hard outer coat. A healthy Bichon Frise, in which you touch its coat is will have a soft and firm feeling, its coat is as elastic as velvet If, it is found that the dog’s coat does not have such a special finger, it means that the quality of the Bichon Frise is superior to be re-determined. 4、The Bichon Frise’s tail is of medium length and usually rests gently on its back. When the tail is extended towards the head, it can generally exceed half of the backline. A tail positioned too low, a tail raised to too high (perpendicular to the back), or a tail that droops backwards are all serious defects. Broken tails and spiral curly tails are very serious defects.
