Bichon Frise Dog Names

The adorable Bichon is a curly-coated wonder.  He is magnificently white and pristine.  The Bichon prances confidently and is a friendly, family orientated dog.  The American Kennel Club have recognized the Bichon Frise breed officially since 1972, and have categorized this canine as being in the toy group because it is a small breed. The Bichon is playful, curious and peppy.  The Bichon makes a great companion and enjoys company, but this delicate pooch can become anxious if left alone as it tends to get attached to its owners. 

The Bichon Frise is simply lovable and there are some celebrities who favor this delightful family pet.  Debbie Reynolds was a recognized Bichon Frise owner, and English actress, Sadie Frost, has two: Rosie and Ringo.   This intelligent breed is said to be trained easily too, which makes things much simpler for the owner. The origin of the Bichon remains a mystery dating back to ancient times.  This breed is thought to have originated in the Mediterranean and is said to have been a favorite of King Henry III, but is it any wonder that this attractive and pristine pooch was in the good graces of a King?

Due to it’s eloquent appearance and obedient behavior, the Bichon Frise is often entered into Crufts, a UK canine event and dog show.  This means that the Bichon is popular amongst dog owners who like to showcase their dog.  Crufts appears on British television each year in the United Kingdom, and this breed appears regularly, performing in the show every year.  In 2017, a Bichon Frise named Magic won Best of Breed. 

In the 1990's, a toy named Puppy in my Pocket, was popular with children.  Their depiction of a Bichon Frise was named Buffy.  She sat proudly on a pink pillow.  A card came with each breed giving information including name, agility level, size, and the name of the breed.  Unfortunately, this craze didn't last long! 

The Bichon Frise spotlight dog is Lucy.  Lucy is the name of the Bichon belonging to singer and actress, Christina Aguilera.  Lucy was famously snapped in photographs, draped on Christina’s shoulder as she worked the red carpet. Christina and her pooch are said to be close companions, and sources suggest that the Bichon Frise breed tends to get attached to its owner, just as Lucy appears attached to Christina.  The name Lucy is super-cute for your baby girl, Bichon Frise.  The name Lucy actually means bringer of light, and this pooch will certainly light up your life!
