When we adopted Bhikkhu, they said he was a mix of a poodle and a bichon frise -- a Bich-Poo. We didn't really care - we weren't looking for a purebred dog or even one of those breeds. We just thought he was cute and sweet. He had been groomed like a poodle.
We let his hair grow out and admired his curls. Some time over the summer we decided that he was more likely a Bog Poodle or a Salmon Hound. I bathed him every few weeks and tried to keep his curls from matting.
Eventually he needed to get a haircut and we took him to a groomer. By then we thought he probably is a purebred bichon but we didn't need to have him groomed like one. Just an all-over cut, maybe a little shorter on his legs. The groomer managed to detangle the mats on the backs of his legs and on his stomach; and she cut him like a Bichon Frise. That's what he was for Halloween. A week later, after a few walks in sprinkles and the first snowfall, his hair is starting to curl back up and he is starting to look like a Bog Frise.

He looks so pretty!
Like the little dog in Pooch Cafe.
Soon you'll be brushing him every evening to keep up his new look!
We sometimes call him PooPoo! We were hoping that the groomer wouldn't use any lavendar scents because we were afraid he'd transform into Tar-gor.
