比熊的毛是什么样子?
比熊犬(法语:Bichon Frisé)原产于法国,是一种宠物狗。由马耳他犬和日本犬杂交而成。150 years ago , a man from Normandy brought to Marseilles a young dog which he called “Loulou”. Loulou was a beautiful white and brown puppy with an almost ethereal purity about him that seemed not quite right for his times – hence the name by which this type of dog has been known ever since in France: Bichet de Normandie (Normandy Bitch).

This was also the main period when dogs were being used to help the blind, so perhaps it could be said that the Bichon-type dog was helping the blind in more ways than one……
The breed was first exhibited in 1863 at the Parisian show, where it won a bronze medal; but its real claim to fame came ten years later, in 1873, when it won the best in show prize at the prestigious Oxfordshire Show. The fact that the dog was a bitch probably helped it gain the prize, for in those days women were not allowed to own hunting dogs let alone enter them in competitions. In order to get round this obvious barrier, her owner had to provide a man to represent her-in effect pretending that she was his wife!
In 1904 there was another major move towards making the breed more popular, when the French government officially recognised it as a new breed, separate from both the Standard Poodle and the Miniature Poodle, thus precluding the need for any further “faux pas” with regards to the sex of the owner. This led to what some may regard as overkill, as in 1923 a formal stud book was introduced; before then litters were simply registered as being
