Question Types of Bichon Frise ~ Info?

While searching The Net to learn more about my new Bichon Frise I ran into a website which showed 4 types of Bichon's. I recall seeing Maltese and Havanese. Can someone tell me the others? Or know of this website. Of course, now that I have time to read it I can't find it.
Thank you!

Re: Types of Bichon Frise ~ Info?

A bichon frise is simply a bichon frise. Purebred. They are RELATED to/in the same family as the Havanese and the Coton du Tulear. Maltese are NOT a kind of Bichon, aside from being a toy breed and being white, that is all they have in common. The website you were looking at was most likely a designerbreed website or puppy mill site.
You would be best to look for information on your breed through the Bichon Frise breed club.
