Hi,
here’s the latest in the series about individual dog breeds.
This time it’s the turn of the Bichon Frise which I have a particular fondness for as one of my favourite customers has one named Alfie and he looks fabulous in his new raincoat.
Here’s Alfie:

The Bichon Frise dog breed is a member of the non-sporting group and its roots are originally from the Mediterranean. This dog breed came the United States sometime around the 1950s but did not become popular with dog owners until the mid 1960s. And it was not until the year 1971 that the AKC (American Kennel Club) recognized the Bichon Frise as an official breed.

These cute animals are considered to be bouncy, playful, and extremely perky with character. Some dog enthusiasts say that the Bichon Frise manages a happy-go-lucky outlook towards life. These dogs are so friendly that strangers can come up to them and pet the dogs with no worry of aggression. And suffice to say, the Bichon Frise gets along very well with young children.

This dog is very responsive, affectionate, and adores cuddling with its family. Because of its need for human companionship, the Bichon Frise cannot be left alone for too long a time. He will become easily upset and bark until company arrives.

Upkeep And Maintenance

Even though they are small, the Bichon Frise does need a bit of daily exercise. A simple walk on the leash, a few laps in the yard, or even rigorous indoor games will work just fine. If you have access to an enclosed backyard or perhaps a field, a great way to exercise these little guys is to have one of its owners stand on one side the grass, and a second owner at the far distance of the other side. Each of you will take turns calling your dog as you watch him run vigorously back-and-forth until he is easily tired.

When it comes to grooming, you will need to brush the Bichon Frise about every other day. This dog breed has a white puffy coat that may need trimming and scissoring on an occasional basis. And although the Bichon Frise does not shed, some hairs do become loose and could entangle with the rest of the coat, causing it to mat.

Health Information

Like most small dogs, you can look forward to the Bichon Frise with having a lifespan of up to 15 or more years. Veterinarians suggest that you have this breed specifically tested for eye problems, knee dysplasia, and hip dysplasia. Major health problems that seem to stem through a majority of Bichon Frise dogs are allergies, Cushing’s disease, and patellar luxation.

Till the next time have fun, Anthony

For anyone lucky enough to own a Chihuahua or other small breed the world of designer dog clothes is a portal to a fashion wonderland. Pet clothing has never been more fashionable and more en vogue than it is right now. The Chihuahua owner and owners of other small breeds have the comfort of knowing that their little pals will not only be able to be kept warm and dry but they will look fabulous.
Because of their tiny dimensions, toy breeds look simply gorgeous wearing funky t-shirts or that designer dog coat. Is there anything cuter or more adorable than a Chihuahua’s little face peering out from under a little warm woollen hat?

Dressing your Chihuahua – fun and functional.
Because Chihuahuas originated in the warm climes of Mexico they have evolved to cope with very hot conditions. The ears, for example, are disproportionately large in order to dissipate heat. In cold conditions Chihuahuas lose a huge amount of body heat through their ears if not protected will soon feel the cold and begin shivering. This is where items such as hoodies, hats and scarves come in to play. Other Toy Breeds need protection from the cold simply because of their smaller body mass and really appreciate a warm dog coat or jumper.

Dog Clothes Designs
Fortunately online doggy fashion boutiques have sprung up to address the issue of fashion and functionality. There is now every reason to your little dog warm and stylish. The array of designer dog clothes available is mind-blowing. Everything is available from urban hip hoodies through designer t-shirts to knitted sweaters. From the cutest hats and scarves to faux fur-lined fleece lined parkas for those chilly winter days. How about a bright raincoat for those grey days, yep, you can get those too. For the really special occasion there are diamante encrusted dresses or for the ultimate day out there are wedding dresses complete with tiaras for the girls and tuxedo themed outfits for the little guys. For the night time rather than an old blanket that’s continually slipping off why not treat your dog to some toasty pyjamas?

Choosing The Right Fit
As with human clothing Size labels will vary from one company to the next. If your dog is “in-between” sizes always go for the larger size. It is far better for dog clothing to be slightly too large rather than slightly too small.
To accurately size your dog take the following measurements:
1) Circumference of the neck
2) Circumference of the chest
3) Length of the back from middle of neck to base of the tail.
The garment should not hamper the dog’s movement.. Remember wearing designer dog clothes should be fun for both you and your dog
