Doctor's Advice
These clean, low allergy dogs need regular grooming, particularly around the face, feet and ears. Playful when young, they often become couch potatoes as they age. They bond closely with their owners, but are shy with strangers. They have a high incidence of bladder stones so diet is very important in Bichons.
