| | Bichon Frise Information |
 | | In the late 1800s, the Bichon Frise fell out of favor to become the 'common dog', running the streets, accompanying the organ grinders of Barbary, and doing tricks in circuses. |
 | | The Bichon Frise descends from the Barbet or Water-Spaniel, from which came the name "Barbichon", later contracted to "Bichon". |
 | | Included in the book are the history of the breed, grooming instructions, the AKC Bichon Frise Standard-interpreted and explained in detail, medical notes, and many more items even a section on how to choose a puppy. |
