1.The Characteristics of a Bichon Frise Puppy and Dog

Have you heard of the dog species Bichon Frise also known lovingly as the power puffed pooch?  If you are looking at the Bichon Frise as the next loyal friend to have at home, you may want to read all about them through this write up.

The Bichon Frise species of dogs are very friendly and would cheer you up at all times. They are cute and very pleasant mates to be with, especially when it comes to playing FETCH. They would love to snuggle in your lap for a cozy session of forty winks, and if you were not around, one of your pillows would be perfect for their snooze time. They also love to sit by the window and watch everyone and everything outside there.

Take them daily for a walk or a run around in the backyard and the Bichon Frise is the happiest pet you could have, it’s that simple with their exercise routine.

They pose no harm to outsiders who come visiting, since they are peaceful by nature and wouldn’t attack humans and other animals. They are quite the timid ones around, so if you want your Bichon Frise to be sociable, train them when they are pups, to boost their moral.

Bichon Frise is independent by nature but not dominating at all. You do not have to use force to train these boys. They pick up tricks very well and love being showered with yummy delights for a job well done. Don’t be harsh with them, they turn spiteful otherwise.

Remember, the Bichon Frise species are bad at housebreaking, they don’t like to be left alone and can bark away for endless hours, sometimes using a high pitched tone which can give the neighborhood opera singers a run for their money.

You should get the Bichon Frise, since they are sturdy and small. They love to play a lot and would not need to go on an exercises routine the rigorous very all that much. You would love to play with their curly soft coats, which would not shed. Since the Bichon Frise species is alert at all times, you wouldn’t need a door bell to know a visitor has arrived.

The Bichon Frise is a shy dog and would need to be taught how to socialize when they are pups. They would refuse to go out when it rains and to answer natures call, so remember that as well.

The lifetime of a Bichon Frise is amazingly LONG. They can get horrible skin issues since they scratch and itch non-stop. Some of them are allergy prone as well, especially to chemicals, fleas, pollen, grass etc.

Some of them have problems with their urinary systems and some develop stones as well. The Bichon Frise species also is prone to ear infections, loose knee joints, endocrine issues, cataract issues, heart problems etc., your vet should tell you more about them.

Finally if you choose to have the Bichon Frise as your pet, be assured of a cute little thing in your lap 24-7, because that’s where he likes to be the most.

2.  What You Should Know About Puppy Teeth

––––––––

There is no doubt about it; puppies are going to chew on things!  Dogs will have 28 baby teeth, and 42 permanent teeth.  When a puppy is roughly, 2 to 3 weeks old, their baby teeth start to come in.  All their baby teeth should be in place by roughly 8 weeks of age.

The puppy’s new teeth are very tiny and sharp, and will hurt your fingers when they get a hold of them.  Most mothers will start to wean their babies at 5 to 6 weeks old.

Your puppies baby teeth will start to come out around 8 to 12 weeks of age.  By roughly 8 months old, your dog’s permanent teeth should all be in.  You should make sure that all baby teeth are out, so that a tooth is not left in, and another one comes in and crowds the space, and gives your dog pain.  You would need to visit the vet if you see this happening.

Your puppy is going to want to chew on something, just like a real baby, their teeth are coming in, and they want to relieve some of the pain. It is good for them to chew, to help the teeth come thru.  You would want to get some appropriate chew items to help them.

You could start to train your dog to have their teeth brushed.  You can pick up doggie tooth supplies at your local pet store usually, and get down and dirty and brush your doggy’s teeth.  Rawhide chews are an excellent source of good tooth hygiene, as they are good for your dog’s teeth, and can help take off build up plaque, and dogs usually love it also!

A lot of puppies and dogs end up getting human food usually from the weakest link in the family.  If your dog is under the table, they usually will go to the person they think will mostly likely give them some food scraps.  If you do, just remember, chocolate and some nuts can kill your dog never give chocolate.  Raisins can be just as deadly for your dog, do not give, they can shut down your dog’s kidneys, so be very careful of these products and your puppy or dog.
