A Bichon Frisé (French, literally meaning Curly lap dog; often spelled Bichon Frise in English) is a small breed of dog. They are popular pets, similar to but larger than the Maltese. They are very intelligent and generally have happy dispositions.
History
The Bichon Frisé descended from the Barbet or Water Spaniel, from which came the name "Barbichon", later shortened to "Bichon". The Bichons were divided into four categories: the Bichon Maltais, the Bichon Bolognais, the Bichon Havanais and the Bichon Tenerife. All originated in the Mediterranean area.
Because of their merry disposition, they traveled much and were often used as barter by sailors as they moved from continent to continent. The dogs found early success in Spain and it is generally felt that Spanish seamen introduced the breed to the Canary Island of Tenerife. In the 1300s, Italian sailors rediscovered the little dogs on their voyages and are credited with returning them to the continent, where they became great favorites of Italian nobility. Often, as was the style of the day with dogs in the courts, they were cut "lion style." The Bichon Frise has a mild attitude but can be over excited.
The "Teneriffe", or "Bichon", had success in France during the Renaissance under Francis I (1515-47), but its popularity skyrocketed in the court of Henry III (1574-89). The breed also enjoyed considerable success in Spain as a favorite of the Infantas, and painters of the Spanish school often included them in their works. For example, the famous artist, Goya, included a Bichon in several of his works.
Interest in the breed was renewed during the rule of Napoleon III, but then waned until the late 1800s when it became the "common dog", running the streets, accompanying the organ grinders of Barbary, leading the blind and doing tricks in circuses and fairs.
On March 5, 1933, the official standard of the breed was adopted by the Societe Centrale Canine of France. As the breed was known by two names at that time, "Tenerife" and "Bichon", the president of the International Canine Federation proposed a name based on the characteristics that the dogs presented - the Bichon Frisé. ("Frisé" refers to the dog's soft, curly hair.) On October 18, 1934, the Bichon Frisé was admitted to the stud book of the French Kennel Club.
The Bichon was brought to the United States in 1955, and was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1973.
The first US-born Bichon litter was whelped in 1956. In 1959 and 1960, two breeders in different parts of the USA acquired Bichons, which provided the origins for the breed's development in the USA.
The Bichon Frisé became eligible to enter the AKC's Miscellaneous Class on September 1, 1971. In October, 1972, the breed was admitted to registration in the American Kennel Club Stud Book. On April 4, 1973, the breed became eligible to show in the Non-Sporting Group at AKC dog shows.
[edit] Temperament
The well-bred Bichon Frisé is gentle-mannered, sensitive, playful, and affectionate. A cheerful attitude is a prominent hallmark. Most Bichons enjoy socializing with people and other dogs, and are best when there is a lot of activity around them. Those who are considering keeping a Bichon Frisé as a pet should know that these dogs are smart and playful, but require a great amount of human attention; they are happy to be the center of attention. Bichons may also be relatively stubborn dogs, yet can exhibit a noticeably patient character. They are a non-moulting breed and are suitable for people with allergies.
[edit] Care
Care must be taken to keep the face of a Bichon Frisé clean and trimmed, as eye discharge and mucus tend to accumulate in the hair that grows in front of their eyes, which can lead to serious problems. Owners must take care to clean their dog's hind (anal) area with a damp cloth after each bowel movement, as the breed's curly hair will tangle in dried excrement. Their hair should be brushed daily, but if not possible, at least 2-3 times a week. The hair will puff up if groomed correctly, and their tails curl over their back. This breed is prone to knots in the hair. It is important to remove hair tangles prior to shampooing, lest more tangles develop, causing mats.
Appearance
Color - Almost completely white, sometimes with cream, apricot or buff shadings, usually around the ears. At least 90% must be white in a purebred Bichon for show. At least 50% must be white in a Bichon puppy for show. Color fades during the first year of life. During this time the coat also changes from puppy fluff to frisé.
Face - Expression should be alert, soft, inquisitive. The eyes are usually very dark, either black or dark brown. The skin surrounding the eye is also very dark, this is called a "halo" and is looked for in purebred puppies and dogs. The nose and lips are always black. The ears are drop and covered in long, feathery fur.
Coat - The undercoat is soft and dense while the outercoat is curly, giving it a powderpuff look. The coat feels thick and should spring back if touched. The coat may feel velvety if is groomed correctly. The fur makes this particular dog look like a small little marshmallow puff dog.
Muscle-The muscle tone should be of exceptional quality, especially the lower thighs and buttocks area.
Bichons as Pets
A "puppy cut" Bichon.The Bichon lives about 13-16 yrs, but has been known to live to 21. Primary health problems consistent with this breed include bladder infections, bladder stones, and subluxating kneecaps. Bichons are especially prone to allergies and ear infections. Dental care is important as the Bichon's front teeth are not used as often, occasional brushing by the owner will prevent the damage - often substantial by age 6. Also, an occasional crunchy treat will help clean the teeth.
For aspiring dog owners with allergies, Bichon hair is less prone to cause allergic reactions than the fur of other dogs: they are hypoallergenic. So, while some owners may still have allergic reactions, the rate is significantly lower.
Bichons bred and cared for as show dogs often have their hair stylized in the full-volume cut linked above, as the show standard. Bichon owners who do not intend their dogs for show, though, often use a "puppy cut," which does away with the volume of the show cut and makes the Bichon's hair look more like fur.
Bichons are very active and love to play with other dogs and people. They get sudden bursts of energy resulting in the "blitz", where they run constantly in circles because they are happy. They have little regard for their own size vis-a-vis other dogs, and are more than willing to play rough with dogs twice their size.
A Border Terrier is a small, rough-coated breed of dog of the terrier group.
[edit] Appearance
The Border Terrier has a double coat consisting of a soft undercoat and harsh, wiry outer coat. Colours include grizzle and tan (a sort of salt and pepper look), blue and tan (sometimes looks almost black), red grizzle, and less commonly, wheaten. The coat should be stripped by hand (not clipped) regularly, as the top coat becomes long and shaggy and eventually dies. Borders being shown generally have a short coat that has been stripped and is starting to grow back. Never clip a border terrier, except around the face area where there are scraggy bits of hair. Clipping a Border Terrier's coat around its back may ruin its fur and make it go curly. After clipping, a Border Terrier's coat may never return to normal. Clipping also encourages coat and skin problems as the dead hair is prevented from falling naturally, changing the micro-climate next to the Border's skin.
The coat type of a Border has a lot of variation across individual dogs, some develop longish, shaggy hair and others never go on to develop a full coat and remain relatively smooth in coat.
[edit] Temperament

They can make good family pets as they are generally good with children. If their owners cannot give them a lot of attention, they are best kept with other dogs of similar temperament. Some members of the breed make a highly effective alternative to a doorbell, due to their sharp hearing and the distinctive frenzied barking that results when they hear someone approaching the door.
Usually when puppies are first taken to their home, they, like other dogs have an opinion on the owner/owners. They especially like jumping a lot, and a lot of times, when owners first buy their Border Terrier they sometimes find that they are woken up by their dog licking them in their bed! Some Borders like to lick.
The key to training a Border Terrier is through its heart. They are big-hearted little dogs that love their owners and if they know that something pleases you then that is what they do. This trait, coupled with their highly intelligent mind, can sometimes lead owners, especially children, to unwittingly 'train' their Borders to do certain behaviours that are not necessarily desired in their particular household. For example, when an owner comes home and their Border is overjoyed at their return and jumps, runs and become excited, the owner often reciprocates that excitement with attention and praise - hence teaching their Border that running, jumping and acting excited is a good thing and to be repeated. The same goes for teaching Border puppies to jump at toys and swing off socks and sleeves.
The golden rule with a Border is that what you give them attention for, they will do more of. Their high trainability makes them amenable to command and discouragement from unwanted beahviours. Consistency is vital, if their owner gives in even once, for example patting a Border when it jumps up on the owner's return home, they will likely remember that owners don't always mean what they say about not jumping it can take some work to undo this. As with most dogs, it is important that owners establish dominance over their Border.
In terms of activity, many Borders will settle to the activity levels of their owners. They do not demand exercise, but do love it when they get it. If their owner is sick for a week they will likely curl up at their feet and not move. Rattle their lead however and they will be all ears, ready to go out for that walk, run or game.
Border Terrier performing jump in Dog AgilityBeing bred to work with people, Borders do well in task-oriented activities. They have been successful in obedience, Dog agility, and working as therapy dogs in hospitals and resthomes for the elderly, and hearing dogs for the deaf.
Border terriers respond very well to obedience classes when young as it both establishes the owner's dominance and gives their intelligent mind something to do. If left alone for much of the time without mental stimulation they do not thrive and sometimes engage in destructive behaviours like digging.
[edit] Illness
An illness that a lot of Border Terriers catch is called "Kennel Cough". However, Border Terriers are at no more risk than any other dog that is not vaccinated against this disease.Border terriers also get ticks because of hunting in long grass.
[edit] Behaviour with other dogs
Red grizzle.Border Terriers generally get on well with other dogs, and often develop strong friendships with dogs they meet frequently. However, if they dislike another dog, they do not hesitate to start a fight and, as with most terriers, it can be difficult to stop them. This behaviour is most common in un-neutered males. Border Terriers must be trained carefully from the beginning to learn proper social behaviour with other dogs, especially larger dogs.
Ideal canine companions include other Border Terriers, Collies, and most Spaniels. When kept in a group, they can have difficulty recognising that each dog has a different name (they occasionally respond to them all). Border Terriers have dominant personalities and often occupy a high position in the 'pack', subordinate to the owner. This is especially true for adult Border Terriers when a puppy is added to the group. If a large adult dog comes into the family, the Border Terrier will "test" his new companion, maintaining his leadership if there is no objection from the larger dog.
In the popular TV show "Crufts", Mini, a Border Terrier came second.
[edit] Behaviour with other animals
Border Terriers are generally unsuitable for homes where there are rabbits, they may, however, accept small animals they grow up with.
[edit] Chewing
Border Terriers are strong chewers and tend to destroy all but the most durable toys. They can remove the squeak from a squeaky toy within 30 seconds, and reduce such toys to fragments within a matter of minutes. Solid, tough rubber toys such as rubber rings are suitable. If a Border Terrier adopts a household object as a toy, the object will soon be ruined. It is therefore useful to teach a Border from an early age what he or she is and isn't allowed to chew.
[edit] Health
Border Terriers are generally hardy and long-lived dogs with few health problems. However, they have a very high resistance to pain and will very often appear healthy even when injured or sick. Consequently, any sign of illness should be taken seriously. Due to their low percentage of body fat, Border Terriers are very sensitive to anesthetics. Therefore, Border Terrier owners should select a veterinarian that is aware of this and is cautious in administering anesthesia.
Due to their instinct to kill and consume smaller animals, Border Terriers often destroy, and sometimes eat, toys that are insufficiently robust. Indigestion resulting from eating a toy can cause the appearance of illness. Typical symptoms include lethargy, unwillingness to play, a generally 'unhappy' appearance, lack of reaction to affection, and inability or unwillingness to sleep. These symptoms are generally very noticeable, however, they are also present just prior to Border Terrier bitches being on heat. Food-grade liquid paraffin is often an effective solution to digestive problems caused by the consumption of dog toys. This problem can be avoided by giving the Border Terrier only durable toys.
Border Terriers occasionally have genetic health problems. Some of these include:
Hip dysplasia
Perthes disease
Luxating patella
Various heart defects
Juvenile cataracts
Progressive retinal atrophy
Seizures
CECS (Canine Eptiloid Cramping Syndrome [1]
Reliable breeders check all breeding stock for as many of these as possible before breeding.
[edit] History
The breed was developed for hunting vermin in the area around the border of England and Scotland.
Though some claim an ancient history for the Border Terrier, no breed of terrier is very old and the Border Terrier is no exception, first appearing around 1860, and being so undifferentiated from other rough-coated terriers that they were not admitted to the UK Kennel Club until 1920 -- after first being rejected in 1914.
The true history of the Border Terrier is exceedingly short and simple despite all the efforts to muddy the water with talk of Walter Scott, Bedlingtons, Gypsies, and dark dogs seen in the muddy corners of obscure oil paintings.
The Border Terrier was a kennel type of rough-coated terrier of the Fell type bred by the Robson family. John Robson founded the Border Hunt in Northumberland in 1857 along with John Dodd of Catcleugh who hunted his hounds near the Carter Fell. It was the grandsons of these two gentlemen -- Jacob Robson and John Dodd -- who tried to get the Border Hunt's little terrier-type popularized by the Kennel Club.
The first Kennel Club Border Terrier ever registered was "The Moss Trooper," a dog sired by Jacob Robinson's Chip in 1912 and registered in the Kennel Club's Any Other Variety listing in 1913. The Border Terrier was rejected for formal Kennel Club recognition in 1914, but won its slot in 1920, with the first standard being written by Jacob Robinson and John Dodd. Jasper Dodd was made first President of the Club.
For a terrier "bred to follow the horses" the Border Terrier does not appear to have been overly-popular among the mounted hunts. The Border Terrier Club of Great Britain[2] lists only 190 working certificates for all borders from 1920 to 2004 -- a period of 84 years. Considering that there were over 250 mounted hunts operating in the UK during most of this period (there are about 185 mounted hunts today), this is an astoundingly small number of certificates for a period that can be thought of as being over 15,000 hunt-years long. Even if one concedes that borders were worked outside of the mounted hunts, and not all borders got certificates that were recorded by the Border Terrier Club of Great Britain, the base number is so slow that adding a generous multiplier does not change the broad thrust of the conclusion, which is that Border Terriers never really had a "hay day" for work.
The relative lack of popularity of the Border Terrier as a working terrier is borne out by a careful review of Jocelyn Lucas' book Hunt and Working Terriers (1931). In Appendix I Lucas provides a table listing 119 UK hunts operating in the 1929-1930 season, along with the types of earths found (sandy, rocky, etc.) and the type of terrier used.
Only 16 hunts said they used Borders or Border crosses, while about 80 hunts said they preferred Jack Russells, white terriers or some type of fox terrier. Lakelands and Sealyhams, or crosses thereof, were mentioned by some, with quite a few noting "no preference"(hunts are double-counted if they mention two kinds of terriers or crosses of two types).
The Border Terrier does not appear to be faring any better today, with even fewer workers found in the field than in Lucas' times. In fact, there is not a single Border Terrier breed book that shows a border terrier with its fox -- an astounding thing considering the age of the breed and the ubiquitous nature of the camera from the 1890s forward.
To say that the Border is not popular in the field does not mean that it has fallen out of favor in the show ring or in the pet trade, however! Border terriers are among the top 10 breeds in the UK Kennel Club, and nearly 1,000 border terriers were registered with the American Kennel Club last year -- up about 100 dogs from the previous year.

[edit] Earthdog trials
More Border Terriers have won American Kennel Club Earthdog titles than any other terrier. An earthdog trial is not true hunting, but an artificial exercise in which terriers enter 9" x 9" smooth wooden tunnels with one or more turns in order to bark or scratch at caged rats that are safely housed behind wooden bars. While earthdog trials are not a close approximation of hunting, they are popular in the U.S. and in some European countries because even over-large Kennel Club breeds can negotiate the tunnels with ease, dogs can come to no harm while working, and no digging is required.
The Poodle is a breed of dog. Poodles are intelligent, active dogs and come in varieties distinguished by size, color, and coat. Toy, miniature, and standard poodles are distinguished by adult shoulder height. Poodles come in many colors including black, white, red, apricot, silver, and brown. They also appear in parti-color, or multi-colors. While the multi-color poodles can not be shown in the American Kennel Club (AKC), Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) or any Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) conformation ring, they can be shown in the United Kennel Club (UKC) show ring and in all performance rings.
The FCI lists the country of origin as France. Poodles were originally gun dogs and may be seen occasionally in that role. The show clips evolved from working clips which were originally to provide warmth for major joints during duck hunts in cold water. The rest of the body is shaved for less drag in the water. Poodles have been popular all through Europe for several hundred years. They also are skilled at most other dog events including herding, agility, obedience and tracking.
They are elegant in the show ring, having taken top honors in many shows. The poodle coat is dense and generally does not shed. As a result the coats in showing condition require extensive care and grooming. Most pet Poodle owners keep their Poodles in much simpler cuts that are easier to care for and require less grooming.
The name poodle comes from the German word Pudel, which is short for Pudelhund, which means splashing dog. This reflects the breed's former use as a retriever of water (the word Pudel is related to the English word puddle).
[edit] Appearance
[edit] General appearance
According to the AKC standard, a Poodle should be of moderate build, neither heavy or insubstantial. It should have an elegant, balanced appearance, and should carry itself in a "proud" or "dignified" manner.[1]
Most Poodles are proportionally long-legged dogs. They have dense, curly, non-shedding fur that grows year-round and requires regular grooming. Most are solid-colored, and many registries only allow solid colors in conformation shows. "Parti" (short for parti-colored) Poodles have large patches of colors. "Phantom" Poodles have the color pattern of a black-and-tan dog, although not necessarily black and tan. Solid colored Poodles may either "hold" their color (i.e., stay more or less the same color throughout their lives) or "fade" or "clear" to a lighter shade. Usually, the ears and the thicker guard hairs hold more of the original color than other fur.
The tail is usually docked in the US, less often in Europe. These days, tails, when docked, are left much longer than in times past. "Bunny tails" (very short-docked tails) are now rarely seen except among puppy millers.
[edit] Coat
A cream Standard Poodle in a continental clipPoodle show clips require many hours of brushing and care per week, about 10 hours/week for a standard Poodle. Poodles are usually clipped down as soon as their show career is over and put into a lower-maintenance cut. Pet clips are much less elaborate than show clips and require much less maintenance.
[edit] Show clips
Many breed registries allow only certain clips for Poodles shown in conformation. In American Kennel Club (AKC) shows, adults must be shown in the "continental" or "English saddle" clips. Dogs under 12 months old may be shown with a "puppy clip". A handful of registries, such as the United Kennel Club, allow simpler clips.
[edit] Puppy Clip
In the puppy clip, the face, throat, base of the tail and feet are shaved. The coat may be shaped with scissors for neatness. Although this clip appears simpler than the other clips, the length of the hair makes it at as difficult (maybe more so) to maintain as the adult clips.
[edit] Continental Clip
In the continental clip the face, throat, feet and part of the tail are shaved. The upper half of the front legs is shaved, leaving "pompoms" around the ankles. The hindquarters are shaved except for pompoms on the lower leg (from the hock to the base of the foot) and optional round areas (sometimes called "rosettes") over the hips. The continental clip is the most popular show clip today.
[edit] English Saddle Clip
A corded Standard PoodleThe English saddle clip is similar to the continental, except for the hindquarters. The hindquarters are not shaved except a small curved area on each flank (just behind the body), the feet, and bands just below the stifle (knee) and above the hock, leaving three pompoms. This clip is now rarely seen in Standard Poodles.
[edit] Pet Clips
Pet clips can be as simple or elaborate as the owner wants. The hair under the tail should always be kept short to keep feces from getting matted in the fur. Most owners also keep the feet and face clipped short to keep dirt from matting between toes and food from matting around the dog's muzzle. Beyond the sanitary requirements, the desired clip depends on the owner's preference. Some owners maintain a longer clip in winter than summer. Longer hair should be brushed daily to remove any tangles.
[edit] Corded coat
In most cases, whether a poodle is in a pet or show clip, long fur is completely brushed out. Poodle fur can also be "corded" with rope-like mats similar to those of a Komondor. Though once as common as the curly Poodle, corded Poodles are now very rare. Corded coats are difficult to keep clean and take a long time to dry after a bath. Any Poodle with a normal coat can be corded when their adult coat is in. Corded Poodles may be shown in AKC, FCI, CKC and UKC shows.[1][2][3][4]
[edit] Temperament
Poodles were developed as a multi-purpose, easily-trained companion dog. They are generally eager to please, sociable, and playful. A personality component of almost all easily-trained breeds is a craving for interaction. Poodles are no exception. They will demand attention, even when you might think you have better things to do.
Lifelong playfulness is a distinctive characteristic of most poodles, and they will want you to join their games. Poodles rarely like playing alone. Most like squeaky toys, tug toys, and chasing balls. Many poodles like to carry and retrieve things, but not with the passion of a lab or a golden retriever.
Most poodles like to bark, but rarely with the intensity of a Shetland Sheepdog or an Australian Shepherd. On a barkiness scale of 1-10, they would probably rate about a 7. A few are very quiet, a few are very barky.
Most poodles are good with children, if raised around them. Standard poodles are usually calmer than minis or toys, but can be too rambunctious for young children. Toy poodles are too delicate to trust around small children without close supervision.
On off-leash walks, most poodles will stay close to their owners. As with all dogs in this crowded world, you should never let a dog off-leash near traffic or where he might disturb someone else.
Most poodles are highly sociable and like the company of other dogs and people. A dog-agressive or people-aggressive poodle should not be bred.
[edit] Health concerns
With proper care and nutrition, many enjoy life well into their teens. This Toy Poodle just turned 16, and with arthritis medication still has a very active life.As with any purebred dog, there are many health concerns for the Poodle owner to be aware of. Though the Poodle is usually a healthy, long-lived canine (it is generally expected to live to an age of 15 years old- Toy or Miniature Poodle or a 12-year-old Standard Poodle though it is not uncommone to hear of a 18+ year old Toy or Minature or a 17+ year old Standard when cared for well), owners should be aware of the health problems that this breed is predisposed to.
[edit] Potential health problems
The Poodle has certain health problems it is prone to:
Addison's disease (hypoadrenocorticism) [5]
Cataracts[5][6]
Congenital heart disease
Chronic active hepatitis[5]
Cushing's syndrome (hyperadrenocorticism) [6][5]
Distichiasis
Entropion
Epilepsy[7]
Glaucoma[6]
Intervertebral disc degeneration
Lacrimal duct atresia
Legg-Calvé-Perthes syndrome
Progressive retinal atrophy
Patellar luxation (Toy and Miniature)[6]
Trichiasis
Urolithiasis.
Hip dysplasia (Standard)[7]
Hypothyroidism[7]
Gastric torsion
Osteosarcoma
Patent ductus arteriosus
Sebaceous adenitis
gastric dilatation-volvulus
Von Willebrand's disease
All three breeds are predisposed towards certain types of mammary tumors, so if the Poodle owner does not plan on breeding their female, then they should consider spaying her before her first heat cycle. This dramatically cuts down the Poodle's chances of developing quite a few different types of mammary tumors later in life.
They are also predisposed to skin problems and allergies- especially food allergies.
[edit] Hybrids
Main article: Poodle hybrid
The Minature poodle, which is of intermediate size between Standard and Toy.Many hybrids have been created by crossing a Poodle with another breed, such as Labradoodles and Cockapoos. These "hybrids" or "designer dogs" are not, however, recognized breeds by the American Kennel Club (AKC). Poodle hybrids are popular both for the desirability of their temperament and their coats, which are lower shedding and more easily tolerated by owners with allergies. Many breeders promote Poodle hybrids as actual breeds and charge more for them than is usually charged for a mixed-breed dog.
