The bichon's continually growing hair requires grooming to avoid mats.
The Bichon Frise, a white fluffy dog, can weigh 6 to 20 lbs. In 2009, it ranked 35th out of 164 breeds in registered new dogs, according to the American Kennel Club. Gifts related to the Bichon include general dog-related gifts and items decorated with a Bichon Frise. A Bichon Frise owner often appreciates gifts either for herself or for the dog.
Dog
Gifts for the dog include general grooming, clothing, bedding, treats and toys. Engraving or decorating items, such as clothing, collars, leashes, identification tags, food bowls and blankets, with a picture of a Bichon results in a breed-related gift. Allergies, common to the Bichon, may include food allergies, according to the Bichon Club of America. Homemade treats, such as salmon and pumpkin carob dog treats, provide low-risk allergic response options, according to Vet Info.
Owner
Commercially available items with Bichon pictures make appropriate gifts for the Bichon owner. The popularity of the breed results in various Bichon specific merchandise, including bookends, doormats, treat jars, note cards, books, calendars, stationary, mouse pads, ornaments, coffee mugs, jewelry, key chains and stuffed animals. Engraving or decorating other items, such as towels, tote bags, Christmas stockings, pillowcases, wall hangings and plaques, with a Bichon or a picture of the pet provides a personalized gift. Pay for an artist to turn a photo of the pet, or paint an original portrait, to give the owner a special present. Other options include paying for photo portraits or creating a photo album with photos of the dog.
Services
Gift certificates that specify services from you, including walking the dog, taking it to a park, grooming, pet sitting and taking it to obedience classes, give the dog personal attention. Other gift certificates include paying for professional services, including from a dog walker, pet sitter, veterinarian or obedience trainer. A Bichon Frise requires routine grooming. Providing the dog with a day at the groomers and the owner with a spa appointment creates a relaxing combination gift, according to Yelena Johnson, Celebrations staff writer. Another fun gift includes arranging for the owner and his dog to go with another owner and dog on a doggie day, according to Johnson.
Rescue Support
Give a gift and provide support for the Bichon Frise Club of America Rescue. Options include donations to the club, sponsoring or fostering a dog and merchandise purchased from the rescue organization, according to the BFCA. Paying for the adopting of a rescue Bichon, with the owner's permission, provides the person with a new dog and the dog with a playmate and companion.
