Introduction. Hyperacusis is an extreme aversion and hypersensitivity to sounds that are generally not an issue to others. Electrical and machine noises, as well as sudden high-pitched noises, are usually hard to tolerate for people with hyperacusis (examples are listed in the box on this page). However, any sound can potentially trigger a reaction in someone with hyperacusis â even the sound of their own voice.
Even with the hair short, owners still need to brush their Bichons regularly, recommends the All About Bichon Frises website. The puppy cut is a good option for those who do not want the fuss of a show clip, but that don't want their Bichons totally shaved down.
The Bichon was traded all over the world by Spanish sailors. The dog eventually became a favorite of the 16th century French royal courts. In the 19th century it was a popular organ grinder's dog and also a circus performer. Today the Bichon Frise is primarily a companion and show dog. The Bichon Frise was first recognized by the AKC in 1972. Group
