I always had Poodles because they didn't shed. Currently I only have a cat because he came to my door and asked if he could live here. I wouldn't mind having one of these Bichons, but it would require the same amount of grooming as a Poodle....The Bichon makes me smile just to look at him...
That’s a great photo. He looks like a young Gabby Hayes. LOL
We had gotten a Lab some time ago because someone had told me they don’t shed. I guess that someone had it in for me! I never saw a dog that shed so much but she was the best dog I’ve ever had. Incredibly intelligent and loving.
"A woman had a black cat 'Felix' who spent his days outside, coming indoors at night. One October evening he disappeared. The woman searched for him in vain, but the following spring Felix reappeared, healthy and clean. Everything was back to normal until that fall when Felix disappeared again.
"Again, Felix reappeared the following spring. Perplexed, the woman began asking neighbors for clues. She finally rang the bell of an old couple who replied 'A black cat? Sure. We hated to see him out in the cold so we bought a carrier and take him to Florida every winter'".
The bichons are wonderful. They are the sweetest breed.
