When looking for the perfect dog for a family, many people are drawn to the popular and lovable Bichon Frise. This sweet little white dog resembles the Maltese in appearance, yet is smaller and of a more tempered nature. The Bichon Frise is also a very popular show dog, with their “look at me, ain’t I grand” attitude. But the biggest hurdle that many people face when dealing with a Bichon Frise is the fact that they require almost daily grooming to keep their fluffy appearance.

When maintaining your Bichon Frise, you should remember that there are two basic types of cut for these dogs. There is the fuller show cut, which is preferred among Bichon Frise owners who plan to enter their dogs into competition. And then there is the Bichon Frise puppy cut, which is shorter and preferred among families with no interest in showing their new dog. The Bichon Frise is much easier to maintain, and allows for much easier brushing and mat removal.

Maintaining a Bichon Frise puppy cut is much easier than a show cut. The short fur also makes it much simpler to comb out the mats, which can cause your dog to have severe skin issues if not removed. Your dog groomer can show you the proper way to maintain a Bichon Frise puppy cut; and remember to have your dog’s fur trimmed every month and a half.

Giving your dog a Bichon Frise puppy cut is a fairly simple process. You should watch a professional groomer give your dog his first haircut, simply so that you can see how it is done. After that, you will need to trim your dog’s coat once every six to eight weeks or so in order to keep it the right length. Your local dog groomer can show you exactly which tools you will need to keep your dog’s Bichon Frise puppy cut in good shape.

Another thing that Bichon Frise owners need to remember, even with a Bichon Frise puppy cut, is that the fur will need to be pulled from their dog’s ears at each brushing. This can be done easily, as all you have to do is gently pull the hair from inside the ear.

The Bichon Frise is once of the most energetic little dogs that a family can have, so keeping your dog’s coat cut in a Bichon Frise puppy cut can also contribute to a much more pleasant experience for your dog when he or she plays.

It is also important to remember to keep the fur around their eyes trimmed on a regular basis, and to pull the hair from their ears each time you brush their fur.

Of course, the Bichon Frise puppy cut is only for those dog owners who have no intention of showing their dogs in competitions. But if you’re looking for a good way to keep your dog looking good as a pet only (not to mention an easier way to keep their coat free from matting), then a Bichon Frise puppy cut is definitely the way to go. Grooming time is a great time to bond with your dog, so enjoy it!
