First of all, the Bichon Frise at home is now 4 and a half months old. Before this, I raised a German Shepherd and a Persian cat. Currently, it’s a Bichon Frise.
Any pet has its advantages and disadvantages, just like different people have different characteristics. Now, let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Bichon Frises in detail.
Since the question is about the drawbacks, let’s start with the disadvantages.
Not very high – IQ 【This may seem contrary to the advantages mentioned later, but it still needs to be said】
a. They don’t understand what you say. Some people may say that dogs don’t understand anyway, but no. Bichon Frises just don’t listen, and they “remember food but not punishment!” They won’t listen no matter how many times you teach them when they do something wrong. It’s simply useless.
b. They can’t learn many things. Unlike other dogs that can learn a lot of skills, a Bichon Frise may only be able to learn 3 – 5 skills.
Get dirty easily
a. Even a pure – white piece of clothing is prone to getting dirty, let alone this naughty little guy. It can really only stay white for one day.
Look at the picture above 【Three days after a bath】
b. Bichon Frises need to have their mouths wiped after eating and drinking, otherwise, they are likely to have tear stains.
Costly
a. Bichon Frises have relatively developed tear glands, so they are very likely to have tear stains. Many new pet parents will try all kinds of ways to get rid of the tear stains for their furry kids, which incurs more expenses for food and other items.
b. As mentioned before, Bichon Frises get dirty easily, so they need to be bathed frequently. And since they shed very little hair, they also need to be trimmed regularly to keep them from getting too hot.
By now, some new pet parents may be discouraged. Don’t worry, keep reading ⬇️
There are, of course, many advantages.
Don’t shed hair
This is perhaps the main reason why many parents choose a Bichon Frise 【I’m one of them, hahahaha】. The little cutie only sheds a small amount of floating hair during the puppy – coat – changing stage when it’s young. After growing up, it basically won’t shed anymore. It’s really great!
It’s the first choice for clean – loving families and families whose parents are worried about dog hair everywhere.
Easy to tame 【This may seem contrary to the low – IQ mentioned before, but it’s the truth】
My dog, Erwan, learned to use the toilet in a fixed place by itself three days after arriving home. It poops and pees in the fixed position.
At about 2 and a half months old, it learned skills like shaking hands, sitting, staying still, and waving goodbye 【But as mentioned before, they can’t learn many skills, but they learn quickly】
Super healing
Just look at the pictures directly.
Affectionate
A super – clingy little follower. Of course, for me, this is an advantage. It’s very clingy. As long as you want to play with it, it’s always there 【The best companion dog】
The above are the advantages and disadvantages of Bichon Frises. Everyone can judge and choose for themselves.
Remember, once you choose, it’s for a lifetime.
