Living with a Bichon Fris: Book

The perky, friendly Bichon Frise has a distinctive white, �powder-puff� coat. It is a small dog that thrives best in an indoor environment. This book presents the breed�s history, from it origins as a favored pet among European nobility to its relatively recent recognition by the AKC. Here too is extensive advice on feeding, training, grooming, and general care. Books in this handsomely produced series are written especially for new and soon-to-be pet owners. Most volumes, filled with striking color illustrations, give in-depth presentations of the needs and traits of specific dog breeds. Starting this season,Living With a Pet books are expanding to include other animals that have become popular as house pets.
