The 'Bichon' typing is believed to have gotten its name from the French word 'Barbichon' which translates to 'small poodle.' The breed is a member of the 'Non-Sporting Group' of dog breeds in the United States and a member of the 'Toy Dog Group' in the United Kingdom. The Bichon Frise descends from the Barbet, Water Spaniels and the Poodle. The Bichon Frise, like the other dogs within the 'Bichon' typing, originally comes from the Mediterranean and was taken to France in the early 14th century by sailors. The breed quickly became popular with the nobility of Europe: most notably King Francis the 1st of France and King Henry the 3rd of England. As a whole the breed is known to be playful, affectionate, friendly and gentle. They are known to love human company and will often be highly demanding of their owner's attention. The breed is also known to be highly sociable and will easily get along with strangers, small children and other household pets. The Bichon Frise is also known to be highly obedient if they are trained consistently from puppyhood.
