In the late fourteenth century, Spanish sailors often traded Bichon Frise on their voyages; later the trade went to Italy, where Bichon Frise soon became the pet of Italian nobles.

And in 1515 Francis I, the volume The Bichon Frise was introduced into France. From 1574 to 1589, the Bichon Frise was in its heyday. In several elegant paintings of famous Spanish painters, the lifelike demeanor of the Bichon Frise can be seen. However, at the end of the 18th century, the Bichon Frise was in decline and had to live on the streets with the entertainers. But after the 20th century, the Bichon Frise prospered again and became popular all over the world, becoming the favorite pet dog of many people.
