Bichons are lively and need moderate exercise. Without walks they may develop anxiety or depression, reduced appetite, over-grooming, and sleepiness.

What is the Corgi’s personality like, and is it easy to keep?
The Corgi has a good temperament — very intelligent, lively, cheerful, and affectionate, making it well suited as a family pet. In addition, the Corgi is obedient, highly intelligent, and very alert, brave, and loyal, and is relatively easy to train, which is why it was traditionally trained as a cattle-herding dog. However, the Corgi is energetic and barks loudly, so the owner needs to walk and play with it daily to burn off excess energy and avoid problem behaviors such as destroying things or excessive barking.
What makes a dog considered clingy or affectionate?
