I LOVE Bichons and if I got a smaller dog, that's probably the direction I would go in. But again, there is a grooming issue, so I wouldn't go that direction.
That's funny how it works out, we happen to be exact opposites! Does that bother me? No. You are your own person, I am myself, we like different things.
