Like the Maltese, the different Bich breeds came from the Mediterranean area and have a long history throughout the Europe and European trade. As you can glean from the root word “Bich,” the name of the dog has its root in quite literal and old French translations. The Bichon Frise is, predictably, a French breed. This curious dog is known as the Bichon Frise, French for “curly white lap dog.” Because we’re about to focus on the individual characteristics of this French breed that will help you to understand why so many people walk around with Maltese-looking dogs that actually have all the positive qualities of that other breed, the Bichon Frise.
And although the fluffy white coat can intimidate potential dog owners who don’t like the idea of a lot of grooming, the Bichon Frise is surprisingly low-maintenance, meaning that they’re not big shedders and won’t be a hamper on that roommate of yours with dog allergies.Ĭonvinced that the Bichon Frise is a unique breed worthy of study yet? Good. This dog can be considered a large toy dog and, while it looks similar to the Maltese, does have some distinctions that make it a breed in and of itself. With that in mind, let’s get it all out of the way and focus on this curious dog known as the Bichon Frise, French for “curly white lap dog.” Hey, the French are nothing if not a little bit literal.
Okay, so maybe not everyone likes homework. Fantastic! More time studying dog breeds is clearly called for, which means you get to expand your knowledge of pets just a little more. Just when you think you’ve gotten all the dog breeds figured out, you take a look at a dog that looks like a Maltese and find out that it’s not a Maltese at all – it’s actually a Bichon Frise.
