How to choose the appearance of a Bichon Frize? The adult Bichon Frize has a well-proportioned body, a rectangular body, a height between 24cm and 29cm, and a weight of about 5kg; the eyes must be round, the eyeball color is black or dark brown, the ears are small, and the nose is Black; the purebred Bichon Frize has a tail of moderate length and height.

　1. Body shape

The adult Bichon Frize has a well-proportioned body shape, with a height generally ranging from 24cm to 29cm and a weight of about 5kg. A 20% range is generally allowed. Their body shape appears to be rectangular, that is, the waist is long and the legs are short, and the body length is about a quarter longer than the shoulder height. If the body shape is too square and the proportion of body and legs is close to a square, it will be disqualified.

　2. Head

The eyes of a purebred Bichon Frize are round and located directly in front of the head; the best eye color is black or dark brown, and there is a circle of black or brown skin surrounding the Bichon Frize's small round eyes. Overly large or prominent eyes, almond-shaped eyes, and crooked eyes are not considered purebred standards. The ears are droopy and hidden by long, flowing hair. The base of the ears is higher than the eyes. If you pull the ears toward the nose, they can be pulled down to the corners of the mouth at most. (If it is a white teddy, the ears tend to be longer) The nose is also round, with prominent nose mirrors, which are always black, and the outline of the nose will also have a slightly dizzy black color.

When looking at a dog’s face, the eyes and nose can basically form an equilateral triangle.
　3.Tail

The Bichon Frize has a medium-length tail that rests gently on its back. When the tail is extended toward the head, it can generally reach more than half of the topline. A tail that is set too low, a tail that is carried too high (perpendicular to the back), or a tail that hangs back is a serious fault. Broken tails and corkscrew tails are very serious faults.

　4.Coat

In addition to white, Bichon Frize’s fur colors also include creamy yellow and almond. The overall color tone must be white. The Bichon Frize's hair looks very similar to that of Teddy's, but its coat is not as curly as Teddy's, and is more stretched and fluffy.

　5. Gait

A purebred Bichon Frize should run in a smooth, accurate and relaxed manner. Viewed from the side, the extension movements of the front and rear legs are coordinated with each other, the forequarters extend easily, the hindquarters drive powerfully, and the topline remains stable.
