Bichon Frises are small breed dogs, and they are permitted to be kept as pets in Shenzhen. When caring for a Bichon Frise, it's crucial to regularly deworm and vaccinate them, as well as groom their coat frequently.
Generally, small breed dogs with an adult height of 35 centimeters or less (including 35 cm) are allowed to be kept in Shenzhen. Bichon Frises typically have an adult height ranging from 20 to 30 centimeters and an average weight of less than 5 kg, classifying them as small dogs, which means they can be legally owned in Shenzhen. The terms 'small' and 'large' Bichons often refer to mixed-breed dogs rather than purebreds. It's important to note that working dogs, such as guide dogs and service dogs, owned by blind or disabled individuals within the Shenzhen urban area, are exempt from the 35-centimeter height restriction.
How to Care for a Bichon Frise
Raising a Bichon Frise requires regular vaccinations and deworming, and it's important to interact with them often. Daily grooming of their coat is recommended, as their soft, fluffy fur tends to get matted easily. Regular trimming of their fur is also essential, especially around the paws, inner thighs, armpits, and eyes. When it comes to feeding, opt for high-calcium and protein-rich dog food. You can also supplement their diet with small amounts of fruits and vegetables.
