Hola from Sully
Bichon Frise, 9 Months old
My favourite thing about Sully is...
His facial expressions and happy smile 🥹 he is a bundle of energy, but will pass out on the sofa beside you. He loves to play with soft toys and will bounce back and forth for hours playing fetching! He is the happiest soul🤍
The biggest challenge with Sully is...
Teaching him what to chew and what not to chew. However significant progress is being made now we are the 9 month mark. He chews significantly less inappropriate things and his ‘leave it’ training is really starting to show 😄
The most surprising thing about owning a Bichon Frise is...
How smart they are once they are settled in your home. Training comes very quickly after a few weeks, when they have fully settled.
What I wish I’d known about Bichon Frises is...
Don’t skip the grooming once their puppy coat has gone. It really is daily brushing, or keeping them trimmed shorted at the groomers.
Did you know?
The origin of the name Bichon Frise is up for debate. Some argue it comes from the Old French term for female dog ‘biche’ while others say that it’s a shortening of ‘barbichon’, which means small poodle, and derives from ‘barbiche’, meaning shaggy dog. Later on, the French coined the term ‘bichon à poil frisé’ which was shortened and simplified by the English to become Bichon Frise.
