The bichon frisee is a highly intelligent dog and is good with children. They don't shed and are low dander.

Mini-Schnauzer's and / or Poodles do not shed.  Both are easy to train, great w/ kids , do not need a lot of exercise , do well in small homes or apartments and do not shed.  Both are "non-allergic" dogs too.  Meaning , most people w/ allergies can tolerate these 2 breeds without any allergy problems.  We have a mini-schnauzer and could not be more satisfied  !

Bichon Frises are AWESOME!!! They are like poodles, but way smaller...you know...lots of white hair. Mine is the SWEETEST thing on the planet. His name is buddy. So go try visiting one!

The Mi-Ki is a sweet tempered dog that acts neither dull nor ill tempered. The Mi-Ki is a devoted companion dog. The intelligence is notable in the Mi-Ki's alert, yet calm, expressive. The Mi-Ki is an adaptable, trusting, affectionate, playful, alert, friendly, sensitive, non-aggressive and intelligent dog. Their purpose is to serve man as a faithful companion. They are wonderful with children and other animals. Being neither shy nor aggressive they are among the gentlest mannered of all the toy breeds. The Mi-Ki is not a 'yippy' dog and is responsive to those it knows and loves. They are not known to be reserved with strangers, or in new situations, however they will alert the household when something is amiss. They continue to be excellent therapy dogs. They are a gay little dog with no tendency towards nervousness or shyness. These characteristics are the most important characteristics of the breed.
