That there’s a Bichon. I can spot ‘em a mile away because of that sparkling coat and big smile. (Doesn’t hurt that I’ve had a small herd of them over the past 12 years.)
Yur so rite, TrixandSam….bubbly, blessed, blitzing, bright-eyed, bumble bee……I had 2 bichons, and they were often less than white, as they loved mud and creeks. They are the sweetest breed EVER.
I concur, that is definitely a bichon! I grew up with one, he is currently a million miles away on the other side of the Atlantic (temporarily living in Spain right now) but they are the cutest! It’s not really how often you clean them though, it’s more how often you brush them which mine does not like at all haha.
And mine hates being clean, a trip to the groomer’s used to terrorize him (still hates it but he has calmed down as he has gotten older). He always looks so mad when he is clean but his coat is then so nice and floooooffy!
The groomer to which I take my little white pups has wood floors for a reason: no way for dogs to get any traction as they’re being led (more like dragged) into the back for their appointment.
It’s funny, my dog looks EXACTLY like that but she’s a cockerspaniel/poodle mix (we know because we have her birth certificate with her parents’ breeds). Oh, and she stays really clean. The white coat doesn’t automatically mean dirt-magnet
LOVE IT! Doo-wah, doo-wah…
That is one happy pup! Wuv, wuv, wuv the smile.
On three everybody. 1, 2, 3: “Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” I just want to push him.
I want to push him too!! Hold on puppeh!! (push! push! swing! swing!) Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Can we take turns pushing him?!
Absolutely!! In fact it is my turn again!!! Weeeeeeee!!!!!
Now me! Weeeeeeeeeee!
pretty green grass, happy smiling puppeh… are we in heaven?
No, you’re anywhere but Iowa right now.
Definitely not in Michigan right now either.
Ah, that care-free, windblown look is so difficult to achieve!
Great, now I have that song in my head! Earworms are not cute. (But the pup is, so I’ll forgive him.)
Fluffy McFloofersons is a real swinger.
You beat 260O!
PS: Goggie is so sparkling clean! I have a buddy who has a Westie, and he’s always covered in mud. She says “He doesn’t know he’s white.”

But how many times a day must you wash them to keep them SO clean?
Bichons miraculously stay clean. Pinky swear.
(OK, it’s more like a bath once every week or so.)

LOL The mental image that gave me was sooo funny… Thanks for that, Trix!
BICHON! YAYAYAY!
It makes no difference if it’s squee or not, Just give that bichon everything you’ve got, ohhh….
It’s that Goth black lipstick that makes her look so pale…
Oh, snorty, snort, snort….that’s so funneeeeeee!!

Floofy! That coat must be a ball in the snow!!
There is nothing better than fluffy, curly dogs
Lovely permanent waves, they must have spent hours in the salon…
