Question: how is a bichon frise different from a poodle?
Answer: A bichon frise is one-quarter longer than his total height at the withers, giving him a more elongated body than a toy poodle. The height of each breed of dog is similar with a toy poodle being 10 inches or less tall and a bichon frise standing at 9 1/2 to 11 inches tall at the withers.
