Bichon Frise
Clownish. velcro. Yours.
You watch your Bichon do the "Bichon Blitz", that spontaneous, full-tilt sprint through the house with ears pinned back and cotton-ball tail a blur, and you know no other breed runs quite like that. Their dark round eyes peer out from that impossibly white powder-puff coat like two espresso beans pressed into fresh snow.
