bichons
Small white pups
Bichons are small, fluffy white dogs bred as companion animals.
The term usually refers to the bichon frise, a breed known for its curly coat and cheerful temperament: Bichons don't shed much, which makes them popular with allergy sufferers.
The name comes from French and applies to a family of related breeds including the Maltese and Havanese.
