Bichon hair care takes a lot of time. They regularly need grooming, bathing, and haircuts. Bichons are one of the few breeds recommended for people with allergies looking to get a dog, but this recommendation should be taken with caution. For some people with mild allergies, keeping a Bichon may be less of a problem than keeping another breed, but this is not guaranteed. Check with your allergist and spend plenty of time with adult Bichons before deciding to get this dog.
