  Common Traits  
        Bichon Frise can be prone to watery eyes, cataracts, skin and ear problems, epilepsy and knee problems.  
     
  History  
        may have existed before the time of Christ. Some say they descend from the Maltese, others claim they were a dwarf breed that resulted from crossing of a miniature Spaniel and a miniature Poodle with Cayenne dogs. Bichon Frise means (Fluffy little dog)  
     
  Miscellaneous  
        Litter size: 3-5 Strong tendency to form tartar and gum infections. Exact origins are unknown. By the 14th century, sailors had introduced it to the island of Tenerife, and by the 15th century it was a royal favorite. The muscle tone is of exceptional quality, especially the lower thighs and buttocks area. Care must be taken to keep the face of a Bichon Frisé clean and trimmed, as eye discharge and mucus tend to accumulate in the hair that grows in front of their eyes, which can lead to serious problems.
