Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!

I love MY Babygirl! She has been my companion for 11 years. She is sick now with bladder stones, and blindness. I am her eyes and ears. I will always love her and she will always love me. This is the best breed of dogs if you are a single older person..

[@saiyampawar2927]

Omg thats so sad

[@KSitz77]

My Bichon had a bladder stone. He needed surgery to remove it and has been fine since (knock on wood). I firmly believe that if we had kept him as hydrated as we do now, he would not have gotten the stone. So Bichon owners, keep your Bichon well hydrated. We mix water in with his food to make it a soupy meal and this has had several health benefits for him. 1. He's no longer constipated like he used to be 2. No more bladder stones and 3) He looks healthier and acts a lot younger! He is 12 1/2 now, his stone was removed 2 years ago....he's our baby.

[@KSitz77]

@@funkmiester7483 Oh, it got lodged in his urethra so he could not urinate. It was very scary. If it had not done that he would not have shown any symptoms the vet said.

[@bluemoon472]

Having suffered w kidney stones, I can tell you they are excruciating and staying very hydrated is one of the keys to help prevent them. Also, being very careful with sodium, protein & and foods containing high oxylates. Glad your baby is doing well now!! Good luck!

[@sheliastinson2944]

My Bichon also had surgery for bladder stones. She now is doing good, but very scary at the time

[@pdtech4524]

I've owned a few breeds of dog and by far the best breed I've enjoyed owning is our Bichon Frise Max! They are adorable, cute and so loving. They thrive on attention, are so eager to please and very playful, such characters! They suffer anxiety if left for long periods, so ideal for someone at home all the time. Sure they need lots of grooming and regular baths to keep them clean. There hair is silky and made up of tight curls, so it can easily get matted and knot if you don't brush them! They don't malt like some other breeds, even after a lengthy brushing session there will be very little hair in the brush! But I have noticed if they do shed, the hair either remains in the coat and gets brushed out or you may find the occasional little clump or ball of hair on the floor, which doesn't attract to the carpet or other soft furnishings, so easy to deal with.👍😎

[@NortonsNestMonthly]

They are the best possible dogs and what a great friend they are during these times.

[@gunnzeug8157]

I have a 10 year old bichon frise and she's amazing and really friendly, but she doesn't want to play very much. I would recommend the breed if you want a friendly companion that is not too big but not to small either, but if you want to play with a bichon frise they'll need to be rewarded or trained.

They are awesome best of luck I remember getting my one back in 2012 and I'm also getting one in August

[@camouflagejumpsuit]

You didn't walk it at least once a day? Sounds like you failed the test. Pets need loving attention. They aren't just cute fuzzy things that behave reasonably all by themselves. Dogs need brushing, cuddling, and the type of stimulation that teaches them interesting things, learning and growing stronger and agile.

[@cutedoglilangel799]

This was way too adorable for me to handle.

[@nancyjohnson5810]

Well I beg to differ but in the US they are from the non-sporting group. Then they are very high maintenance. Also my boys are 16 1/2, 16 yrs 2 months, and lastly 13 yrs 8 months old. They make wonderful companion dogs, love to please. I credit there longevity to their food. Besides there kibble (Tuscany Natural chicken) I always mix it with either cottage cheese, at the vets suggestion when they were very young. Or chicken and rice mixed in. They have never had just plain kibble. I also add from Tru Dog Fortify Me and or Boost Me, one is a 49% Crude protein freeze dried raw super topper with no added artificial anything. Where as the Boost Me is only 41% crude protein. All I can say is they love it. Expensive but worth it.

Glad you made this comment. I have a 13 week old bichon and its a struggle. I need more advice so hopefully I can get that. He's not terrible, just tough with potty training. And he hates walking on a leash lol

[@newworldmystic]

@@Yazzzzy I learned from my last dog that walking on a leash is new to him. Give him time. If you have him on a collar, switch him to a harness and use a standard versus retractable leash. Patience is key with these little gentle slows.

[@Yazzzzy]

@@newworldmystic thank you! I have a harness but I will switch the lease to retractable. Yes patience is everything and he's only 13 weeks so it will get better

[@newworldmystic]

@@Yazzzzy No keep the leash. No retractable, they teach the dog to pull.

[@countrycruiser1665]

I have had two bichons; brothers, two years apart. They were both easy to house train and were obedient, playful and loving. They also learnt commands quickly. Dogs only learn to control their bowel and bladder at 3 - 4 months of age. Gentle tones and praising them when they manage to do the right thing works a treat. Consistency is the key.

[@jcovent]

Bichons are not a toy breed. They are a non-sporting breed. Where did you do your research? - owner of Bichons

I am planning on getting one but I keep hearing this breed can't stand being alone. How do people with jobs do to keep these little cuties from excessive barking and separation anxiety?

[@OhhAspireHD]

Yea my bichon hates when people leave the house and he is alone. He will wait for us on the stairs looking at the garage until we get back home. Also only barking issues we have is if someone knocks on the door he is going to bark until we open it..But thankfully we always have people coming in and out of the house frequently so he isn’t alone for too long.

[@sheriedwards6874]

[@georgia-maeflint1023]

Personally my Bichon Frise is fine.She gets left alone from 8-12/1 each day when my mum comes home to let her out for a wee.Then left from 12-3 when my brother gets Home.She isn’t fussed when my mum comes home and looks at her as if what are you doing here😂

[@simplypatti6705]

My boy, Zeus, is a love bug that doesn’t like being alone. But I have a shih tzu and a shihpoo as well and they keep each other company.

[@camouflagejumpsuit]

@Dale Graham sounds terrible to me. I like my freedom to move about. Our cockapoo never liked her crate. She papertrained very easy and she roams the house. She usually stays near me, or whereever the most people are. She doesn't like being alone. Everyone is her friend. She is very sociable with other dogs when we are walking. We are looking for a companion dog.

[@Booboobear-eo4es]

I had two Bichon Frise years ago. They were sisters from same litter. When I had to put each one down in turn because of natural causes/old age, I was heartbroken. But one thing that was always a problem were kidney and bladder stones. My vet called Bichons "poster" dogs for urinary stones. Had to have several surgeries done for both through the years I had them. Also had to feed them a special diet. For that reason, I would not get Bichon Frise doggies again.

[@pdtech4524]

@PBR Streetgang 37 Bit extreme! They're not really a noisy, barking dog! Sure they bark if left alone for long periods, if they hear a noise or knock at the door, if they see a cat or another dog, sometimes they bark. Ours may bark for a short time if we got out and leave him but after a few mins he settles down, just don't leave them for extended periods and they're fine.👍😎

I had two and they only barked when someone came to the house. We called them doorbells. Best little dogs EVER.

I literally can’t brush my dog he just barks and tries too bite us when we touch his stomach

[@camouflagejumpsuit]

my cockapoo is like that if the brushing pulls her hair, and it usually does. Especially her long ears. I try to give her a bone to chew on, or hand her treats one at a time (charley bears), and give her something she likes (sitting on my lap outside) or start the brushing when she's sleeping in my lap. I use a human brush. Slickers make her 😠. Good luck!

[@dchung2394]

Can anyone tell me if I should get a new Bichon puppy if I work 9-5? I am a single person which means I might have to leave my dog during this time. Really want a dog companion after a heartbreaking 8 years breakup TT

[@camouflagejumpsuit]

Not a good idea for a pup, especially this breed from what I'm learning. We have a cockapoo, going on 2 years. She is super friendly, clings to me like velcro, and seems to be getting bored and lonely because, even though I work from home, she wants me not to work on computers or phones. She pulls my hands away from the keyboard, asks to go outside and tries to lead me to go with, jumps on my lap to sleep, licks my face when I'm on a videoconference... She needs a doggy buddy!

[@camouflagejumpsuit]

When I went to work all day, she was okay with it, but she only wanted to sit on my lap when I got home, instead of a walk. She seemed desperate to make friends with other dogs, and sad when she didn't meet anyone when we walked. Even with two of us, she seems to want more. She's getting increasingly hyped up if I go out to grocery shop. I don't want you to end up with a messed up dog with behavior issues. I might recommend a more independent breed, and even then, maybe get two.

[@sorenminoush145]

What did you end up deciding? I would consider a well reputed doggy daycare as the pup would get too lonely and 10 hours including commuting etc is a very long time for a dog.. sometimes they end up destroying and chewing many things around the house out of separation anxiety and boredom. And I hope your heart was not broken for too long.. and hope & pray that you are doing better now. - YoungAe from Ohio (i also have 2 dogs in addition to cats. I got the cats in pairs bc even cats are often misunderstood as not getting lonely when left alone for the whole day, but they do miss affection and companionship, too.)
