What is a Bichon Frise?
The Bichon Frise is a small companion breed of roughly 3 to 5 kg with a white, curly, low-shedding double coat. Famously cheerful and sociable, it has been a lap-and-family dog for centuries and lives 14 to 15 years.
Curious Tails is an AVS licensed pet shop at 2 Balestier Road. We match by lifestyle first, and the Bichon suits one kind of home especially well: one where someone is usually around and grooming is part of the deal.

Bichon Frise Temperament: Sunshine That Wants an Audience
The Bichon Frise is the breed people describe as "always happy," and for once the reputation is accurate. This is a merry, gentle, people-loving little dog that greets everyone as a friend, plays without rough edges, and settles into a lap the moment one becomes available.
Here is the honest part we lead with, from two years of matching puppies to families: all that cheerfulness runs on company. In a home with someone usually around, a Bichon is a delight. In an empty home from 8am to 6pm, that same sociability can turn into whining and separation anxiety.
With children the Bichon is one of our safer picks: sturdy enough for gentle play, patient by nature, and rarely snappy. For very boisterous toddlers, the slightly larger Cockapoo remains the most forgiving choice.
Can a Bichon Frise Be Left Alone During Work Hours?
Honestly, this is where you should pause. Like the Maltipoo and Bichonpoo, the Bichon Frise copes poorly with long stretches alone, because company is what the breed was made for. If someone is home for most of the day, a family member, a retiree, a helper, or you working remotely, a Bichon thrives.
If your home is empty from 8am to 6pm every weekday, we will say so plainly, and often point you to a more independent breed instead. See our Cavapoo puppies, which handle alone time more comfortably.
Good fit if
- Someone is usually home during the day
- A family member, retiree or helper is around
- You work remotely most days
Bichon Frise Size, Coat and Lifespan
Honest numbers, including the grooming commitment most listings gloss over.
| Trait | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Adult weight | Roughly 3 to 5 kg |
| Height | Around 23 to 28 cm at the shoulder |
| Coat | White, curly, low-shedding double coat; the loose hair stays in the coat until brushed out |
| Lifespan | 14 to 15 years, one of the longer-lived breeds we carry |
| Exercise | About 30 minutes a day, plus indoor play and company |
| Shedding & allergies | Among the most allergy-tolerated breeds, though no dog is truly allergen-free; the trade is real grooming |
How big do Bichon Frises get? A healthy adult sits at 3 to 5 kg: compact, sturdy for its size, and naturally suited to flat living. The 14-to-15-year lifespan is dependable with good care, which makes the grooming routine a long-term commitment worth being honest about upfront.
Bichon Frise Price in Singapore: What You'll Pay and What's Included
Most shops make you WhatsApp them just to learn the number. Here's ours in writing: $3,888 to $5,988, all-in.
Typical Singapore market
- Bichon Frise listings range from about $2,400 to $12,800
- Price usually not published; enquiry required
- Show-line labels priced at a premium
- Starter supplies, training and delivery charged separately
Curious Tails
- $3,888 to $5,988, printed right here
- $500+ starter kit with 30+ items included
- Free home delivery with the playpen set up before you arrive
- Free first lesson with an AVS-certified trainer, plus free boarding after deposit
Why is our price printed? We don't carry the marketing spend the bigger names do, and we'd rather win on value and word of mouth. Compare the full picture on our transparent puppy pricing page, and plan the ongoing costs with the first-year puppy budget guide.
The $500+ Starter Kit Every Bichon Frise Goes Home With
Every Bichon Frise leaves us with a starter kit worth $500 and up: more than 30 items across eight categories, a playpen, a carrier, grooming tools, small-breed puppy food, outdoor gear, toilet training supplies, oral health care, and toys. For a curly-coated breed like the Bichon, the brush and the grooming routine start on day one.
On delivery day, Nelson or Kim walks you through every item: how to use it, and how it fits into your Bichon's daily care. Most of the questions new owners would otherwise ask later are answered before we leave your home.
See the full 30+ item kit breakdown, category by category.
Is a Bichon Frise Right for Your Lifestyle?
We ask about your routine before recommending any breed. Here's the honest short version for a Bichon Frise.
| Your situation | Our honest take |
|---|---|
| Someone home most of the day (family, retiree, helper, remote work) | Ideal. This is the Bichon home; the company is exactly what they want |
| Family with gentle children | Great fit. Sturdy for a small breed, patient, and playful without rough edges |
| Allergy-sensitive household | One of the best picks we carry, though no dog is allergen-free |
| Grooming feels like a chore, not a ritual | Reconsider. This coat needs real upkeep; a smooth-coated Mini Dachshund is the low-maintenance route |
| Nobody home 8am to 6pm on weekdays | Reconsider. A Bichon may fret; an independent Cavapoo is usually the kinder match |
Not sure the Bichon Frise is your match?
We'd rather talk you out of the wrong breed than sell you the wrong dog. Message us your daily routine and we'll tell you straight.
Bichon Frise vs Bichonpoo: Which One Fits Your Home?
The Bichonpoo is half Bichon Frise, so the two share the white curls, the love of company, and the flat-friendly size. The honest differences: the purebred Bichon carries the classic powder-puff double coat and a more predictable adult look, while the Bichonpoo's Poodle side brings a slightly lighter coat, more colour options, and often a touch more spring.
Grooming effort is similar either way, with the purebred coat needing marginally more discipline, and with us the price, the starter kit, and the aftercare are identical. If nobody is home during weekdays, neither is the right pick, and we'll steer you to a more independent breed instead of taking the sale.
Weighing the two? See our Bichonpoo puppies, or message us your routine and we'll tell you straight.
Quick comparison
- Bichon Frise: purebred, classic white powder-puff coat, 3 to 5 kg
- Bichonpoo: Bichon x Poodle, lighter coat, more colours, 3 to 6 kg
- Same price, same starter kit, same aftercare either way
Keeping a Bichon Frise in an HDB flat
The Bichon Frise is named on the HDB-approved breed list, so you can keep one in an HDB flat. HDB allows one dog of an approved breed per flat, and the Bichon's compact 3 to 5 kg size sits comfortably within the small-breed rules. Every Bichon Frise we place has its dog licensing completed at purchase, so the paperwork is handled for you.
Is a Bichon Frise HDB-approved? Yes, by name on the list, and it has been a Singapore flat favourite for decades. Just mind the one-dog-per-flat rule, and if you already have a dog, message us first so we can check your situation.
Read HDB's guidelines on keeping petsThe rules in brief
- The Bichon Frise is named on the HDB-approved breed list
- One dog of an approved breed per HDB flat (AVS limits of ownership)
- Condo and landed homes: up to three dogs, subject to your estate's own pet rules

Grooming the Powder-Puff Coat in Our Humid Climate
We'll say it plainly: the Bichon Frise is the highest-grooming breed we carry, and pretending otherwise sells you the wrong dog. The curly double coat traps loose hair, which is why it barely sheds, and that same trap mats quickly if ignored. Brush 3 to 4 times a week, minimum, and book professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks. Singapore's humidity speeds matting, so the routine matters more here than overseas care guides let on.
The good news: most pet owners keep a shorter teddy trim rather than the show coat, which turns the routine into something genuinely manageable. Light tear staining shows on white faces; a daily wipe with clean water keeps it in check, and the tools you need are already in the starter kit.
Bichon Frise Health: What We Check Before You Take One Home
Every Bichon Frise goes home vet-checked, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. The Bichon health points worth knowing are a small few: patellar luxation, a kneecap issue common to small breeds; dental crowding, so the oral care items in your kit matter; and skin sensitivities, which the grooming routine helps you catch early. We say this once, plainly, so you hear it from your seller and not from a forum later.
Feeding is simple: your puppy comes with the small-breed food it is already eating, and any change should be gradual over a week. For portioning guidance see the puppy health checks explained guide.
Your Bichon Frise's First Week at Home
Day 0: we deliver, free, at a time that suits you, usually morning or evening. The playpen, bed, water, and toys are set up before your Bichon explores the room, and we walk you through all 30+ starter-kit items in person. Learn more about how our free home delivery and setup works.
Days 1 to 3: keep it calm and close. Bichons settle fastest with gentle company nearby, a fixed feeding routine, and the toilet pads where we placed them. Some night whimpering is normal adjustment.
Days 4 to 7: the routine sticks. This is the window to book your free first lesson with an AVS-certified trainer; see what the free AVS-certified training lesson covers. For anything in between, you WhatsApp us.

Buying safely: verify any pet shop's AVS licence first
Every legitimate pet shop in Singapore is listed on the AVS public registry of licensed pet shops. Search the shop's name or licence number before paying any deposit, to anyone; if a seller isn't on the registry, they aren't licensed, whatever the listing claims.
Curious Tails holds AVS pet shop licence AS24J00046. Check us first; an honest shop won't mind, and a genuine seller never will. Puppies sold outside licensed channels are often smuggled without vaccination, and buyers have been fined $7,000 for unknowingly purchasing one.
Search the AVS public registryBefore you pay anyone
- Search the seller on the AVS public registry
- Ask for the licence number; verify it matches
- Walk away from Carousell or Telegram sellers with no licence to show

Bichon Frise FAQs
How much does a Bichon Frise cost in Singapore?
Bichon Frise prices in Singapore swing more than almost any small breed: some listings sit near $2,400, while cost-of-ownership guides quote figures as high as $12,800. At Curious Tails, Bichon Frise puppies are $3,888 to $5,988, and that price already includes the $500+ starter kit, free home delivery and setup, and a free first training lesson with an AVS-certified trainer — so the cheapest headline number rarely includes what ours does.
Is a Bichon Frise HDB-approved?
Yes. The Bichon Frise is named on the HDB-approved breed list, so you can keep one in an HDB flat. HDB allows one dog of an approved breed per flat, and we complete the dog licensing for you at purchase, so the paperwork is handled.
Can a Bichon Frise be left alone while we are at work?
Bichons are cheerful precisely because they live for company, so a full 8am to 6pm alone every weekday is not their ideal. They suit homes with someone around: a family, a retiree, a helper, or remote work. If nobody is home all day, a more independent Cavapoo is often the kinder match, and we'll tell you so.
How big does a Bichon Frise get?
Most Bichon Frises reach roughly 3 to 5 kg fully grown, standing around 23 to 28 cm at the shoulder. It is a naturally compact breed, which is one reason it has been a flat-living favourite for so long.
Are Bichon Frises hypoallergenic?
The Bichon Frise is one of the breeds most often recommended for allergy-sensitive households: its curly double coat traps loose hair instead of dropping it. No dog is truly allergen-free, but the Bichon is among the better tolerated. The trade-off is grooming: that coat needs regular brushing and professional grooming to stay healthy.
How much grooming does a Bichon Frise need?
The most of any breed we carry. Brush 3 to 4 times a week to prevent matting, and book professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks; Singapore's humidity speeds up matting, so consistency matters more here than overseas guides suggest. Most owners keep a shorter pet trim, which makes the routine genuinely manageable.
Why does my Bichon Frise get brown tear stains?
It is the classic downside of a white face: tears and saliva oxidise on pale fur and leave reddish-brown marks, and Singapore's humidity makes the damp worse. It is cosmetic, not usually medical. A daily wipe under the eyes with a damp cloth, keeping the hair around the eyes trimmed, and fresh water in a clean bowl keep most of it in check; we show you the routine on delivery day.
Is there a mini or teacup Bichon Frise?
No. There is only one Bichon Frise, the compact companion dog described above; "mini", "toy" or "teacup" Bichon labels usually mean an undersized runt, a very young puppy sold on a size promise, or a cross. We quote you the honest adult size, not a marketing label.
What happens after I reserve a Bichon Frise?
You place a deposit, and we board your puppy for free, food and lodging covered, until you're ready. Delivery is scheduled around your availability, and we set up the playpen and walk you through all 30+ starter-kit items before we leave.
