    Size

    My bichon frise is 1 and a half and he's still really small, just wanting to know roughly what size they should get to if anyone has any pics that would be great
    Thank you

    The British breed standard for the Bichon gives the size as 9 - 11 inches at the withers, (point of shoulder). The US standard is a little larger at 9.5 - 11.5 inches. Remember though that this is an ideal size for breeders and exhibitors to work to. There can be considerable variation in the sizes of individual toy dogs, and your Bichon will be fully grown at one and a half years. Unless you bought with the intention of showing him, as long as he is happy and healthy, I wouldn't worry about his size.

    Hi,
    I agree with the above post. My lil guy is only almost 8 lbs. He'll be a year young New Year's day so, maybe still going to grow a bit. His parents were small only 10 & 11 lbs. I just want him to be happy & healthy.
