How to Tell If a Bichon Frise Is Purebred

To judge if a Bichon is purebred, a breed certificate generally confirms it.

Pure Bichons have clear traits: round shape, fluffy coat, solid white color, round eyes (black or dark brown) and a black muzzle; mismatch may mean mixed blood.

Note that even a purebred may have health or genetic issues, so also consider health and temperament when choosing.
