The Bichon Frise is basically a cloud with legs and a diva complex. They were born to be adored—and they know it. With a personality that says “I’m cute and I’m not afraid to weaponize it,” this breed is equal parts affection sponge and pocket-sized performer. They’ll follow you from room to room just to dramatically flop at your feet and sigh like a Victorian poet. Though small in size, they come with big opinions, and they expect to be spoken to like royalty—especially during brushing sessions, which are frequent if you want to keep that marshmallow aesthetic intact. Training them is easy—they’re bright and eager—but try raising your voice and you’ll be met with an offended huff and maybe a flounce. Adaptable, cheerful, and charming, the Bichon is the living embodiment of “small dog, major main character energy.”
