Bichon Frise – Sunnybank Hills

Meet Dallas, a 12yo Male Neutered Bichon Frise X with the heart of a puppy and the wisdom of a senior. He’s a gentle soul who’s happiest spending time with his people, enjoying short strolls in the fresh air, and curling up for naps in a sunny spot. His vet has often called him “a wonderful little man,” and it’s true — his personality is as charming as it is endearing. Dallas has a mellow, easy-going nature and would get along wonderfully with kids. He’s been a family dog in a quiet home with grown children and no other pets, so he’d ideally suit a home where he can be your one-and-only. That said, he could adapt to a calm household with another friendly pet. At home, Dallas loves claiming your favourite spot on the couch, hogging your pillows, and occasionally breaking into the little zoomies when he’s excited. Health-wise, he’s doing well for his age — he has a touch of arthritis and some dental issues, but no major health concerns. He’s house trained, and prefers to do his business on the grass. If you’re looking for a loving companion who will greet you with tail wags, brighten your days with his sweet personality, and still surprise you with playful bursts of energy on walks, Dallas could be the perfect match. He would thrive with an older person or a family who can offer him the love, comfort, and gentle care he deserves for his golden years. Dallas has so much love left to give — could you be his forever home? ❤️ Environment: · Primarily an indoor dog with regular outdoor access. · Enjoys a calm household and is well-suited to older individuals or families. Training: · Outdoor toilet trained (prefers to toilet on grass). · Knows basic commands and has a gentle, well-mannered temperament. Diet: · Dry food only. · Easy, consistent eater. Medical History: · Mild osteoarthritis managed with medication and supplements. · Prone to dental disease; benefits from routine dental care. · History of otitis externa (resolved). · Up to date with C5 vaccination and parasite prevention (Nexgard Spectra). Current Veterinary Care: · Monthly Beransa injection for arthritis. · On 4Cyte joint supplement/Oravet dental chews · Annual dental scale and polish recommended. Reason for Rehoming: Dallas is being rehomed with a very heavy heart. I’m helping my family find him a new home because my parents, who are now in their 70s, no longer feel able to keep up with his routine care. I was his primary carer when I lived at home, but in my current living situation I’m unfortunately unable to have a pet. My priority is finding a home that can give him the care and companionship he deserves.

Bichon Frise – Beverly Haire

These incredibly charming puppies, possessing a unique blend of the powerful Cane Corso and the playful Bichon Frise, are absolutely the most amazing dogs to have. While they carry the protective loyalty of the Cane Corso, they primarily exhibit the Bichon's delightful temperament: they are genuinely happy, fun-loving, and exceptionally cuddly, making them superb family companions. This mix generally results in a medium-sized dog that is robust yet retains an affectionate, clownish personality. To ensure a seamless transition into their new homes, these pups are fully prepared and come with a comprehensive puppy pack, containing all the essentials to get started. They have all received a thorough vet check to confirm their health and vitality. Their parasite control is meticulous, as they have been diligently wormed every two weeks since birth.

Bishon Puppy needs loving home

This is a wonderful opportunity to welcome a beautiful, playful, and incredibly cute Bichon Frise puppy into your life immediately. At 16 weeks old (approximately four months), this puppy has moved past the most fragile newborn stage and is at a fantastic age for rehoming. This stage is ideal because the puppy is fully weaned, has typically received a second round of vaccinations, and is mentally ready for intensive house-training and the crucial socialization period, which defines their adult temperament. The Bichon Frise is an intelligent and cheerful breed, renowned for its cotton-ball appearance and its naturally happy, outgoing demeanor. They are highly suitable as devoted companion dogs, thriving on human attention and excelling as therapy animals. This pup is immediately available for rehoming ASAP, suggesting an urgent need for placement. Any prospective owner should be prepared to provide ongoing obedience training, consistent grooming to maintain the breed's non-shedding coat, and the constant companionship that the Bichon Frise breed craves.

The Ultimate Bichon Frise Guide

About Bichon Frise

A Bichon wakes up every morning like it’s Christmas Day. They’ve got a built-in zest for life that makes them a joy to be around.

They might look like living plush toys, but don’t be fooled—these dogs have quick minds and pick up tricks faster than you can say “sit.”

Whether strutting their stuff at a dog show, curled up on your lap, or prancing around the house like they own the place (which, let’s be honest, they do), the Bichon Frise is the kind of dog that makes life a little brighter.

Bichons need daily brushing to keep mats and tangles away.

Origins

You’d be forgiven for thinking the Bichon Frise was created solely to be a lap warmer for royalty—and, well, you wouldn’t be far off.

This breed has been around for centuries, originally prancing around the Mediterranean on trading ships, charming sailors out of their rations.

Spanish and Italian merchants took a liking to these pint-sized entertainers, and before long, they found themselves nestled in the laps of French nobility.

By the time the 16th century rolled around, Bichons had well and truly established themselves as the ultimate companion dogs for European aristocrats.

But as history has a habit of doing, fortunes changed, and these once-pampered pooches found themselves performing in street circuses instead of palace halls.

It was their lively nature and knack for learning tricks that kept them relevant, and eventually, they bounced back as beloved family pets.

Key Characteristics Of Bichon Frises

Are Bichon Frises Family-Friendly?

If you’re after a dog that’s friendly, full of beans, and always up for a cuddle, the Bichon Frise ticks all the boxes.

They’re brilliant with kids, love playing with other pets, and don’t have a mean bone in their tiny, fluffy bodies.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Bichon Frises may suffer from:

Hip and elbow dysplasia

Skin Warts

Portosystemic Shunt

Nature / Temperament

Cheerful, Outgoing, Playful, Affectionate, Alert

Suitable Environment

If you’re after a low-maintenance dog that’s happy to entertain itself for hours on end, this probably isn’t the breed for you.

They want to be part of the action, whether that’s snuggling on the couch, playing fetch, or supervising your every move.

Other Considerations

  • No dog is 100% hypoallergenic, but Bichons come close. Their curly coat traps dander, making them a better option for allergy sufferers.
  • After the French Revolution, Bichons went from royal favourites to street dogs. It was their talent for performing tricks that saved them from fading into obscurity.
  • Seriously, it’s like they’ve never had a bad day in their lives. Their default setting is “joyful,” and they spread that energy wherever they go.

How can I take good care of my Bichon Frise?

Nutrition

Bichons do best on a high-quality diet with a mix of protein, healthy fats, and fibre.

Whether you go with kibble, raw, or home-cooked meals, just make sure you’re feeding them the right portions—they’ve got a tendency to put on weight if you let them eat their way through the day.

Grooming

Bichon Frises are not low-maintenance when it comes to fur care. If you don’t keep up with grooming, their coat will turn into a tangle-fest real quick.

Exercise

Bichon Frises might be small, but they have a surprising amount of energy packed into their fluffy little bodies.

While they’re not as demanding as a working breed, they still need at least 30 minutes to an hour of activity each day to stay happy and healthy.

Training

Bichons are smart, eager to please, and love a bit of mental stimulation, making them fairly easy to train—as long as you keep things fun.

Keep training sessions to 5-10 minutes at a time. If they get bored, they’ll start ignoring you. Treats, enthusiastic praise, and belly rubs will get you far. Harsh training methods? Not their style.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

Most Asked Bichon Frise Questions

Yes, they hate being left alone for long periods. Bichons thrive on human companionship and can become anxious or destructive if left on their own too often. If your lifestyle involves long hours away, this breed may not be the best fit unless you can arrange for company or doggy daycare.

Absolutely! Bichons are social butterflies and generally get along with other dogs, cats, and even smaller pets—especially if raised together. Their friendly nature makes them great multi-pet household companions.

If you are searching for Bichon Frise puppies for sale, we recommend that you adopt from ethical, responsible Bichon Frise breeders. This helps ensure that the Bichon Frise puppies you get will be well-bred and healthy. The average cost of a Bichon Frise for sale is between AUD $2000 and $4000.
