Bichomo Activity Requirements

Bichon Frises are a small, playful dog that loves spending time with their family. They are good with children and other pets and are easy to train. A daily walk or short play session is a great way to keep your Bichon healthy and happy. They are a low-energy, low-activity breed, but they are friendly and social. They are happiest when they are near their families. If you are looking for a companion who will stay by your side, a Bichinho may be the right dog for you.
