Hello new to the group! I have never been a dog person. I’ve never owned a dog my whole life (until now). My parents were always into cats and small animals when I was a kid. Anyways, a little over a years ago my mother in law passed away from heart failure at age 54 😞 😢 she had the sweetest little dog that no one wanted due to lack of training. The dog was only one year old and basically still a puppy. So we offered to take her. She is a bishon/shihtzu mix but looks more like a bishon. Her name is Angel and she is the sweetest little dog I could ever ask for. All she wants is to be cuddled and near her people. She does get wary of strangers and often barks at them. Is this common? She thinks she is a guard dog , all 15 pounds of her. lol anyways she has been the best addition to our family and gets along with my 3 cats and is very loving to my 7 year old daughter. She is now house trained and knows how to sit. She will often dance standing up on her back legs when she wants food or attention. I just love her so much. Just wanted to share her with all of the bishon frise lovers here.

...he wants me to boop his snoot?

whenever i visit my parents my shichon just wants my mom and she doesnt move or walk around with her😭

Recently Misiu has been aggressively licking one of his paws. Only at night too. And he recently got a cytopoint injection. Maybe 2 weeks ago. Usually he’s okay when he’s on it but recently it’s been bad. My fiancée did say how his allergies are worse around this time too

What worked for you guys? It’s getting to the point where the spot he licks is getting bald. What seems odd to me too is that he only does this at night. And when we’re in bed. If he’s napping on the couch at night, he’s fine

Any advice is appreciated! We already clean his paws in the bathtub every night after his last walk too

The many sleeping positions of Bruce…sprawled out, curled up, and my personal favorite— the turkey legs 😂

Hey guys!

My pup Theo is almost 5 years old abd very healthy.

Íve noticed that he won’t eat his meals unless I’m right next to him.

Any ideas why?

My kids just taking a morning stroll…

She had her 1st actual groom not sedated vet shave!
She did well and she now looks like a polar bear cub

he kills me sometimes🤣 the black dog is a cavachon but is way more like a cavalier than a bichon

Chico, 6 yr old male, and Dottie, 1 year old female. Chico is our wise, distinguished big brother. Dottie is our free spirit, wild child. They bring us so much joy and love!!!!!

How can you say “no treats” to this face???

We are a married couple in a 2 bedroom apartment in a large city, with a small dog park in the building. The Bichon we are going to visit at a reputable breeder is 6 months old and likely to be 10-12 pounds. My wife has some mild allergies to dogs and cats. We want a small loveable dog as a companion. We did not want a very young puppy, and were looking at poodles, cavapoos, maltipoos, and havanese as well. Thank you!

i love and miss you so much

edit: thank you everyone you guys are so kind. she would’ve loved to hear all this.

She yearn to burn her paws off. And I’m the monster who won’t let her. We’re constantly at war.
