The Bichon Frise is hands down the best breed ever! They are great for allergy suffers and if you have children. The bichon is wonderful with children of all ages and is not snappy like a lot of breeds. They are so funny to watch with the do the "bichon blitz." If you are thinking of getting a dog, the bichon is the best way to go! My only advice is to make sure you have plenty of time to groom you dog, because they must be brushed ever single day.
