Popularity Over the Centuries
Bichons soared in popularity as lapdogs of European royalty during the Renaissance era. Later, they were common circus dogs before fading into obscurity.
It wasn’t until the late 1800s that French breeders revived interest in the Bichon Frise as a standardized breed. They remain popular worldwide today.
Availability of Bichon Frise Puppies
Due to their popularity, Bichon puppies can be found through:
- Private breeders – Expect to pay $600-$1500+ for a purebred puppy depending on pedigree and breed lines. Always ask for health clearances.
- Rescues and shelters – Adoption fees typically range from $150-$400 for mixed breed or rescue Bichons. A great way to give a dog a second chance!
