This book was a great resource to us for the care of our dog, Bam, and to understanding the unique characteristics of the Bichon. We've owned a Bichon for years and still learned much from this book. I recommend it to anyone who is getting or already has a Bichon.

I was drawn to this book because someone said they learned a lot from it even though he had a bichon already (like me). What I learned that was new was almost nil (and I haven't read a lot). Besides, the whole second half of the book is the annoying "doggie boiler-plate" info that seemingly gets plopped into all these kinds of books, and is written to be generic for all dog types. What I really want is a book all about bichons, and one that goes beyond confirming that they are great, smart, sensitive, loveable and loving dogs (which they most certainly are!)

I found this book to be very helpful in learning about the Bichon when we purchased our first one in 2000. What a wonderful breed it is! Lot of helpful hints in it; a must read!

This book has a lot of great information on Bichons. Unfortunately the last few chapters about health, nutrition, and training were abouut dogs in general and not focused on the specific needs of a Bichon Frise.
