Originally developed in the Mediterranean, the small white little dog known as the Bichon Frise is a descendant of the Barbet, a variety of Water Spaniel that was common to that area. While he was first called the “Barbichon,” his name would eventually be shortened to “Bichon” and, originally, this unique little dog was divided up into four different categories: the Bichon Teneriffe, the Bichon Maltais, the Bichon Bolognais, and the Bichon Havanais. Regardless of what number of names he was known by, he would eventually come to be one of the most popular breeds of small dog in the world. How was it that this little powder puff of a dog came to be so widely-known? Most Bichon fans will tell you that it’s all about the personality.
