Bichons are excellent family dogs and can also be great companions for kids. They love to play and be around children. What’s even better is that these dogs can tolerate the noise and chaos of your youngsters.
But as with all dogs, teaching children the proper way of approaching and touching a Bichon is essential. Supervise every interaction between them, and be sure to never leave a dog alone with kids to prevent any biting and ear/tail pulling incident. In addition to that, discourage kids from disturbing your dog when he’s currently sleeping or enjoying his food— let alone taking the food away. Meanwhile, when it comes to other dogs, you have nothing to worry about. Bichons enjoy being with them, provided that you give them equal attention. This breed can also be friends with other pets, provided, of course, that you introduce and train your dog properly.
If your pet is showing any signs of illness, make an appointment with your veterinary hospital Roanoke, VA.
