Bichon Frise

        The Bichon Frise originated in Mediterranean area.  He is very confident, as confident as any dog could be.  He is only slightly longer than he is tall, and he carries his tail like a Spitz.  His coat is fairly long, and is an unvarying dazzling white in color.  Both genders are the same height and weight, just like most Toy breeds.  They are 9-11 inches tall, and they weigh 6½-13 pounds.  Extrovert they are, but they are also friendly and make good family companions.
