Biro

Biro History

The Biro is a toy-sized, active, friendly, and intelligent breed of dog that originated in Hungary. The Biro is a medium-sized, muscular, square-headed, short-coated, and long-eared breed of sheepdog that originates from the plains of Central Europe. It is descended from the Hungarian Puli, and shares many similar physical characteristics with its ancestor. The Hungarian for “Hungarian herding dog” is piros and is also the origin of the name of this intelligent, agile, and affectionate canine. The origins of the piros are unknown, but the first piros were probably brought to the region from the Middle East. He was originally used for cattle and sheep herding, and as a watchdog and hunting companion. The piros was mixed with the Kuvasz, the same ancient shepherding breed that lives on today in the Komondor, and the Pumi, a spitz-type livestock guardian. This created the Pumi-Piro, which is similar to the piros. The piros was later crossed with the Great Pyrenees, and with the Old English Sheepdog, creating the Magyar Prum and the Pyrenean Shepherd.

Biro Activity Requirements

The Bichon Frise is a small, friendly, playful dog that originated in Spain. They have long, silky white fur and a cute, curly tail. While they may be small, Bichon Frises do require regular exercise. They are happy when they are able to spend part of the day playing with their human companions. A brisk walk or short, outdoor play session is usually sufficient. While Bichon Frises don’t require a great deal of activity, they do need an outlet for their playfulness and energy. If they aren’t given opportunities to burn off some of their energy throughout the day, they can become anxious or destructive. If you are looking for a dog that will be happy living in an apartment or condo, you may want to consider another breed of dog. While they are happy being with people, they don’t do well when left alone for long periods of time.
