Physical Characteristics of the Bichon Frise

(from the American Kennel Club breed standard)

Skull: Slightly rounded, allowing for a round and forward looking eye. The stop is slightly accentuated.

Ears: Drop and are covered with long flowing hair. They are set on slightly higher than eye level and rather forward on the skull

Neck: Arched, long and carried proudly behind an erect head. It blends smoothly into the shoulders.

Eyes Round black or dark brown and are set in the skull to look directly - photo 1

Eyes: Round, black or dark brown and are set in the skull to look directly forward. Halos, the black or very dark brown skin surrounding the eyes, are necessary as they accentuate the eye and enhance expression. The eye rims themselves must be black.

Nose: Prominent and always black.

Lips: Black, fine, never drooping.

Chest: Well developed and wide enough to allow free and unrestricted movement of the front legs. The lowest point of the chest extends at least to the elbow.

Legs: Of medium bone; straight, with no bow or curve in the forearm or wrist. The elbows are held close to the body. The pasterns slope slightly from the vertical.

Shoulders: Laid back to somewhat near a 45 degree angle.

Tail: Well plumed, set on level with the topline and curved gracefully over the back so that the hair of the tail rests on the back.

Hindquarters: Of medium bone, well angulated with muscular thighs and spaced moderately wide. The upper and lower thigh are nearly equal in length meeting at a well bent stifle joint. The leg from hock joint to foot pad is perpendicular to the ground.

Color: White, may have shadings of buff, cream or apricot around the ears or on the body.

Size: Dogs and bitches 9.5 to 11.5 inches.

Coat: The undercoat is soft and dense, the outercoat of a coarser and curlier texture. The combination of the two gives a soft but substantial feel to the touch which is similar to plush or velvet and when patted springs back.

Feet: Tight and round, resembling those of a cat and point directly forward, turning neither in nor out.
