Bichon Frise
Resumen
The Bichon Frisé, whose origins trace back to the Mediterranean islands — namely Tenerife — was for centuries a favorite of French and Spanish royalty. It is distinguished by its white, thick coat of tight curls, its cheerful temperament, and the fact that it practically does not shed, making it a popular choice for people with allergies. It is a vigorous, intelligent, and very sociable dog.
