u like unique animals ?

Bichon Frise is a type of dog, not some unique animal.

My friend (who is very Paris Hilton like ) loves this type of dog sooo much and has been looking high and low for it...

Dunno if she has succeeded tho...


KP

ataris-->y u mean by unoque animals??haha...bichon n corgi are dog breed....but we seldom c in Malaysia.....so far only saw 1 bichon b4

malaysia have but i think its really expensive cause very few in numbers....and their coat need extra care

bichon in the high coat care breed......according to dog today magazine....

so far i saw pet shjop sell bichon frise before.
but if is breeder , i rarely seen one .
is hard to find a breeder of bichon frise.

saw once in petswonderland..can try call mka.but price range my guess rm3-5k

My colleague has Bichon Frise but not sure if its purebreed or mix with Poodle but she spayed her Curly already..if u go to White Palace product on the tear stain..there is Curlie picture there..her Bichon was given by her friend one..

ohh i saw one in my local pet shop, but that one belong to the shop owner not for sale. if wan i can help u ask them where to get one.

Well, didnt seen any bichon frise at show ring yet, but breeders, yah.

Thing is, if we are looking for a purebreed, of corse we donwan to get one just because the cert stated so, view the parents to see whether they really represent one.

You are purchasing a dog, not the cert.

Ouch ..seems like bichon is really a very rare breed in Malaysia.Too rare for me to afford 1 ..
Thanks Guyz for the replies.I think my Shih Tzu is not going to have extra mate.

U can always look for other type of breeds for your Shih Tzu's companion..doesnt have to be Bichon right ?

u can try Yang's maltese, yorkshire, mayb even another shih tzu??
i myself am hoping to get another female shih tzu to accompany my baby boy when i hv the money ready XD

Hi freeman1314,

I'm glad and surprised to see a thread started on bichon frise here. I do own a bichon myself. They are such a lovely breed and a joy to have. In M'sia they are considered a rare breed, much like pembroke welsh corgy. I heard some pet shops do import bichon puppies from oversea. There aren't many bichon breeders locally, normally they are home breeders. Do pm me if u wanna know more about the breed.

Cheers

hi there. how much u bought ur bichon frise tat time and is it from breeder?

A Bichon breeder
I was looking for a bichon because i wanted a companion for my shi tzu but i don't think i have the time to take care so i'm buying it and letting my girlfriend taking care of it.But she only interested in welsh corgi or bichon, so I'm trying to find one if possible.But looking at the prices i think that's way over my budget.

Added on December 15, 2007, 11:15 amhi digitral. i bought my bichon at RM 2500 from a breeder. she is MKA certified and microchipped.



dun get me wrong, i'm not a breeder, just someone that own a bichon and crazy about them thats all.
bichon is considered a high maintainance breed, its coat requires lots of care and daily brushing, much like poodle due to their double coat and curly texture. if u could not commit to spend those time, its wise to consider other breed. other than that, bichon's personality is a real charmer. they can get along basically with everyone and every pets. they are not known to be a barker either. they are easy to teach tricks as well. when they start their 'bichon blitz', it is so fun to look at.

anyway i would like to know whether there's any bichon owner around. do drop me a line.
cheers.

I tot bichon only in white.. got light brown ka..

hi freeman1314,
or u can consider white colour poodle? poodle should b a nice companion to shih tzu.
th price is oso ok. n most of all, u can modify its body fur. n mayb u can even "convert" it to "pirated" bichon frise. hahaha....

It's known as "cafe-au-lait" which is permisable under breed standard, definately not a fault.

Hi...Wanna know more info on those puppies..and they look like light brown in colour

puppy 's coat will change color whn they getting older...

I took 1 male pup in exchange for my Bichon's stud fees.
The other 3 belong to the owner(breeder) of the female bichon. He is a wealthy man and he has no intention of selling any.

aiyo~ so cute...

where did you buy vincentboleh? Can intro me the breeder?

yes very cute!!!

There were born and raise indoor in Beijing for 3 years before coming to Malaysia; nurtured like human babies.
I am keeping them temporary till Sept 2011 before they migrate to Australia with their owner.
When they were taken for walk at Desa Parkcity park, I could'nt believe the attention given and some even offer to buy!!!!
Never been so close before with such adorable and smart doggy.

Really? I thought Bichon Frise is a stubborn breed, not smart at all?

As quoted in Wikipedia, Bichon Frises can have a medium-high intelligence.
Stubbornest depends on the owner or training provided.
If you hit them, they bound to ignore u for a while.
We feed, comb, eye-drop, cuddle and provide attention to them and I think the dog is smart.
Maybe is the human that matters???

vincentboleh :hey how old r they ...mine 9mth and got lots of tears stain..been wiping it all day ..and yet still lots of stain any tips...

They are 3 years old and just celebrated their birthday a month ago.

We use tear stain remover "Procare Augen-pflege" by www.trixie.com; info at
http://www.trixie.de/en/mk/Search,23?showD...search=eye+care.
This liquid is used with cotton wool and slowly wipe near the eye-lid. Their owner got this eye-care in Beijing but I am not sure if it is available here???

You may try to trim it's hair around the eyes shorter to minimize dirt accumulation. The pet shop who shower my dogs also mentioned that this is not easy to clean and recommend trimming. FYI, since we have two dogs, the female like to lick the male's eye's and indirectly cleaning his eyes; however, her own eyes usually are dirtier.
Apart from using tear stain remover, I do apply soft tissue with water to regularly clean their stain.

To the creator of the thread..I saw one yesterday at Desa Park City's Pets Wonderland.

Price was RM2888 i think..LoL

Wow your 2 bichons really look good! I have a male bichon, 11 months old. he was given to us by our neighbor. He was 4 months old then. It's true that he brought us lots of fun. My only concern is that he has allergy problem that shown on his skin. The worse is I'm not sure what is the allergen that caused his problem. We are still trying to find out if he's allergy to food. So we had tried many different kinds of dog food, like exotic ingredient, fish, limited ingredient, grain free & even vegetarian. Now we are trying one food which is without yeast in the ingredient. So far still no improvement. He's still constantly licking & chewing his paws, his tail & other parts of his body, & ears too. I brought him to the vet, he was just given tablets of anti-histamin and tablets to reduce the itch. After a while the problem came back. Please, any advise will be appreciated.

Our Boo (the Guy) do have skin problem previously but Bee (the Gal) never have this problem. We solved Boo's problem by trimming his fur and feeding him with fish / salmon based pellets. On off we feed them with chicken breast meat (plain). Licking and chewing his paws is usually resulted from localised fungus and you must trim all fur / hair between his legs & paws (layman term means between all fingers and toes ). Regular application of fungus spray i.e. few times a day (prescribed by BeeBoo's regular Vet, Dr. Lai) is a must to prevent such licking and chewing as the spray is quite bitter and they hate it and never dare to lick at sprayed legs / paws!!! We keep BeeBoo dry all the time especially at night i.e. fan facing them all the time and in aircond room when we are with them at home (few hours lah). Pills are only temporary solution.

CAUTION: Malaysian hot weather is never suitable for Bichon. Never take your Bichon for afternoon walk because heat stroke can kill them in minutes. Only walk them at very short distance in cool morning / evening and if they are tired, stop walking them immediately and take them to a cool place, etc.

Well, we handle 2 Bichons and the joy they brought is beyond description. You are facing challenges which will one day make you love him more dearly, etc.

BeeBoo's routines:
(1) Clean their fur every morning using wet cotton cloth + after they have pee / poo and fan dry them.
(2) Feed them twice a day.
(3) Comb them every 2 days (using Natural Pet dry shampoo i.e. in powder form) + eyes drop + ear drop and wiping;
(4) Shower only once every 10 days or two weeks at per center (too often shower is not be good for such dog).
(5) Every 2 months apply heartworm / flea / ticks drop on the neck.
(6) Vaccination injection every year.

We have brought BeeBoo to couple of Vets before but none can match Dr. Lai. Call him up if you are in PJ and only look for Dr. Lai:

Dr. Lai Chong (Tel: 03-7804 6539) - Opens Saturday.
Hand "N" Paws Veterinary Clinic & Pet Centre
C-17G, Jalan PJU 1/45,
Aman Suria Damansara,
47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Hope this may help.

Really impressive looking Bichons, we rarely see such nice Bichons in Malaysia.

Hi, thank you so much for your reply. It's a great help, especially sharing the BeeBoo's routine and the contact of your vet. Oh and also about walking Bichon during morning or evening, this I never know until you told me. Thanks again. I'll let you know when there's improvement on his skin problem.

Our shop Bichon Frise, imported Taiwan.

I wish to own a super cute bichon. Pls pm me if you have any puppies for sale, preferably female.
Thanks.
