BichonDog does not shed, lively and cute, very endearing, but many people will buy Bichon Frise string, how to identify it?
Male and female Bichon Frises are about 9.5 inches to 11.5 inches tall at the shoulder, and symmetry is a priority. If individuals outside this size range, but prove to be very good individuals, allow appropriate relaxation of the standard. But in any case, shoulder height should not exceed 12 inches or lower with 9 inches. Minimum shoulder height standards do not apply to puppies.
Facing straight ahead. Eyes that are too large or protruding, almond-shaped eyes, and slanted eyes are all faults. Around the eyes, black or very dark brown skin surrounds the eyes, which is a must to accentuate the eyes and accentuate the expression. The eye rims themselves must be black. Under-pigmentation or complete lack of pigment in the eye rims, resulting in an expressionless or sluggish look, is a distinct defect. Any color other than black or dark brown eyes is a serious defect.
Very well-proportioned head, muzzle to head length ratio of 3:4, muzzle length is the distance from the nose to the stop, and head length is the distance from the stop to the posterior occiput. The dotted line connecting the outer corner of the eye and the tip of the nose just forms an equilateral triangle. The contours under the eyes are slightly defined. But not so much that it creates a weak or tapered front face. Jaw strong.
The Bichon Frise is white in color with buff, cheese or apricot shades around the ears or on the body. Any other color on a mature individual exceeding 10% of the total coat is considered a defect. However, the appearance of these permissible colors on the puppy's body is not a defect.
The trot moves with ease, precision and ease. Viewed from the side, the extension of the front and rear legs is coordinated, the forequarters are stretched easily, the hindquarters are driven powerfully, and the topline remains firm. During the movement, the head and neck are slightly erect, and as the speed increases, the limbs tend to converge toward the centerline of the body. When leaving, keep a medium distance between the hind legs and the foot pads are visible. Come or leave, the movements are precise and correct.
