The Bichon Frise originated in the Mediterranean region and is a small dog breed. They do not shed naturally, so their coat needs grooming. Because of their cute appearance, they are deeply loved by everyone, and nowadays they are mostly kept as household pets. So are Bichons easy to keep? How much does a Bichon cost? How should they be fed? How do you choose a suitable Bichon? Let me answer these for you.

1. How much does a Bichon cost?

1. In Beijing, the price of a Bichon Frise ranges from 1200 yuan to 5000 yuan. However, the price of an ordinary pet-grade Bichon Frise is between 1200 yuan and 4000 yuan; if you want a purebred Bichon Frise puppy, the price is between 4000 yuan and 6500 yuan; and if you want a show-grade Bichon Frise puppy, the price is above 6500 yuan.

2. Bichon Frises offered on some large websites generally have puppy prices between 2000 yuan and 2600 yuan; of course, there are also ones at 1200 yuan each and 1800 yuan each. Of course, this has a crucial relationship with the dog's quality, coat volume and color.

3. If you want to buy a Bichon Frise from a professional kennel, the price range is generally from 3000 yuan to 3500 yuan. If you buy from a large kennel, it is relatively guaranteed. After all, you can see the real dog, you can also see what the dog's parents look like, and you can learn what the dog's living environment is like, how to feed this Bichon Frise next, and so on.

2. Are Bichons easy to keep? How do you feed them?

For beginners, because the Bichon Frise's bones are very soft, the owner absolutely must not put it in a high place, such as a chair or bed; if the Bichon Frise falls from above, it can easily cause a fracture. Bichon Frises just brought home are generally only a few months old, and their bodies are not yet fully developed, so the dog food must be soaked soft in boiling water before feeding, otherwise the dog can easily suffer indigestion. At the same time, the owner must feed it on time every day and must not let the dog go hungry, to prevent overeating.

In terms of care, the owner must not be lazy or careless, such as brushing the coat every day and bathing the little Bichon regularly. In addition, the ears, soles and anus need special attention, and the dog's oral care should also be done regularly, cleaning its teeth regularly to ensure it does not get tartar. If the little Bichon gets sick, the owner must absolutely take it seriously; when a dog gets sick, unlike us humans, it is usually serious, and once treatment is delayed it can threaten its life. These are all the owner's responsibilities.

Finally, do not forget to take the Bichon Frise to get vaccinated; this is very important. Of course, most pet stores nowadays have already vaccinated the dogs they sell, but in the future they still need to be vaccinated on time. Doing these things may seem troublesome, but in fact they are all very simple. I believe the smart and cute Bichon Frise will surely bring a lot of joy to the owner's family!

3. How do you choose a suitable Bichon?

1. Give priority to choosing the larger ones

If a litter of Bichon Frises varies in size, the owner should choose the larger ones as much as possible, because larger dogs take in more comprehensive nutrition, have stronger bodies, and their resistance is not too poor; they will also develop better later, which is more helpful for your future feeding and management and will not lead to some rather troublesome problems. Therefore, when choosing a dog, the first step is to look at their body size.

2. Lively temperament, agile and brisk steps

Second, observe the dog's mental state and see whether the dog is lively and energetic. Although good spirits are good, it must not be overly excited either. Dogs that look sickly and always lie around without moving are not within the selection range. In addition, observe whether the dog's steps when walking are brisk and agile, or clearly deformed; those with a limp when walking are also not recommended for selection.

3. Whether the eyes are bright and spirited

Look at the dog's eyes. Healthy Bichon puppies have clear, translucent eyes, and they look especially spirited, rather than having a dull gaze, or discharge around the eyes, or red eyes. You can reach out to tease them and see how they react. If their gaze reacts relatively quickly, that indicates the dog's vision is normal and the dog's eyes are healthy.

4. Coat

When choosing a Bichon Frise, you can try turning over the dog's coat to observe whether there are obvious parasites, red spots, peeling and other symptoms. If the dog's coat and body are relatively clean and there is no obvious dirt, that indicates the dog is healthy and can be chosen.
