Bichon Frise stud dogs with eye, hip and knee results
The Bichon Frise looks like a walking powder puff, and it has the cheerful nature to match. It is a sturdy little dog, but eyes, knees and skin still need attention before a breeding. Therefore, VerifiedStuds shows each stud's exam results, size and fee, from an identity-verified owner.

Claim this spotBichon stud fees usually fall between $500 and $1,500. A health-tested male without titles often charges $500 to $1,000. However, AKC champions and proven sires from show lines commonly ask $1,500 to $2,500.
These are market estimates, as fees are private. Demand also comes from breeders of Bichon crosses, and each stud owner decides whether to accept those. Our stud fee guide explains fees and contracts.
$500 to $1,500+
Overall range: $500 to $2,500
Health-tested, untitled male: $500 to $1,000
Champion or proven show-line sire: $1,500 to $2,500
The Bichon Frise Club of America sets three tests for a CHIC number, which the AKC lists on its Non-Sporting Group health testing page. Owners upload these results for the Verified Health badge:
Test
What we accept
Eyes
Exam by a board-certified ophthalmologist (ACVO), repeated yearly
Hips
OFA hip evaluation or PennHIP
Patellas
Veterinary patellar luxation exam, registered with OFA
Brucellosis
Negative test taken before the breeding
Cataracts can appear in young adults, so the eye exam should be repeated every year. In addition, skin allergies and bladder stones are the complaints owners report most. Neither has a screening test. Therefore, ask the stud owner directly about itching, ear trouble and stones in his family. Registered results are on the OFA website.
For clear explanations of eye, hip and patella exams, see our health testing guides.
First, check his size. The standard calls for 9.5 to 11.5 inches at the shoulder, and adults weigh about 12 to 18 pounds. Oversized Bichons are common in pet lines, so ask for a measured height.
Next, feel the coat. A correct coat has a soft, dense undercoat and a curlier outer coat, which springs back when patted. The color is white, sometimes with a little cream or buff around the ears. In contrast, a thin or silky coat will never hold the classic shape.
Finally, look at pigment and personality. Black eye rims, nose and lips frame the dark, round eyes. Meanwhile, the temperament should be gentle and merry. Also ask about his skin, since a stud with chronic allergies may pass them on.
The AKC describes the Bichon Frise as playful, curious and peppy. The breed developed in the Mediterranean and became linked with the island of Tenerife. Later it was a favorite at French and Spanish courts.
Bichons shed very little and love to perform for their people. As a result, they are popular with families and with owners who have mild allergies. Because demand is steady, health-tested sires are always needed.
Bichons usually breed naturally. Still, chilled semen is a good option when a fully tested sire lives several states away. Some show kennels also store frozen semen. Each profile lists the methods on offer.

The parent club list covers a yearly eye exam, hips and patellas. We also require a negative brucellosis test before breeding.
Are Bichons hypoallergenic?
No dog is truly allergy free. However, Bichons shed very little, so many people with mild allergies cope well with them.
Can a Bichon stud be used for crosses such as a Poochon?
That depends on the stud owner. So check the profile or ask before you send a booking request.
