Bichon Frise: The Bichon Frise Puppy Cut: Short And Sweet And To The Point

by Mary Stevenson

If you’re looking for a mild tempered dog to give your family companionship, a Bichon Frise is the perfect solution. These sweet little dogs are excellent companions for any family, and their long lifespan means that they can spend years with you and your children. One of the most important things to remember about the Bichon Frise is that their lovely white coat requires daily combing to prevent mats, which can lead to more severe skin conditions.

However, if you’re not looking to enter your dog into any of these competitions, you may prefer to give your dog a Bichon Frise puppy cut, as it is much shorter and easier to maintain. The coat of a Bichon Frise requires daily brushing in order to preventing matting, and the shorter nature of a Bichon Frise puppy cut makes it much simpler to pull those mats without damaging your dog’s sensitive skin. Also, a Bichon Frise puppy cut doesn’t need to be retouched as often as a full cut does.

Even if your dog has a Bichon Frise puppy cut, he will still require daily maintenance and weekly baths to keep his fur free from dirt and mats. It is important to remember to comb your dog out completely before bathing so that the mats do not become a permanent part of your dogs coat, otherwise you may have to shave your dog completely to allow the fur to grow back normally.

If you take your dog to a groomer for his cut, you need to remember to take him every six to eight weeks, in order to keep the cut short enough to properly maintain.

Other grooming tips that anyone with a Bichon Frise needs to remember are that the hair around the eyes need to be trimmed regularly. And even with a Bichon Frise puppy cut the hair needs to be pulled from inside the ears every time you comb the mats from their fur.

Also, when you bathe your Bichon Frise, it is important to remember to brush the fur as it is being dried with a blow dryer to ensure that it does not mat. Even though the Bichon Frise puppy cut is much shorter, it can still be susceptible to matting.

If you are planning to show your Bichon Frise, then you need to remember that a Bichon Frise puppy cut will actually disqualify your dog from competition. The cut required for competing is much fuller, and needs to be maintained on a weekly basis, rather than every six to eight weeks.

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!
