Bichon Frise

The Bichon Frise is a small, cheerful dog breed with a long and storied history.

Originating in the Mediterranean region, this breed was popular among sailors and traders who used them as bartering tools.

They were also favored by French royalty, who prized their fluffy white coats and playful personalities.

Over time, the Bichon Frise became a beloved companion for families across Europe.

Today, they are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and affectionate nature.

With their signature curly coat and bright eyes, the Bichon Frise is an endearing and delightful pet.
