Bichonul, the most popular breed of dogs with master of Romania, according to some statistics, exceeded in the preferences of Romanians, German shepherds and even on the vagabonds adopted, and they are appreciated by pet lovers.

In the ranking of popularity, this breed is followed by German shepherds, Pechinizi, Mioritic shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Romanian shepherd Carpatin, Bichon Havanez, Amstaff, Caucasian shepherd, Yorkshire Terrier.
Popular dogs are not to everyone’s liking
On social networks, some Romanians demand the “epidemic of bichoni”, stating that this race became antipathic because of the “wickedness” of dogs and the fact that they seem to be everywhere. Their messages sparked heated debates.
“” I go a lot on the floor and I swear that three of four dogs with the master I see are bichoni. Do not misunderstand me, I love animals, but this breed becomes antipathic. They are bad, fuck. Not infrequently I see them barking and even jumping to humans or other dogs. Single and old -fashioned children. He supports a Romanian, in a message that has become viral on the Reddit platform.
The biggest problem created by those who want Bichoni as pets is, according to the author of the message, that they feed the black market of dog breeders.
“I understand that he is a small and easy-to-maintain dog in the block, but a truly animal lover would adopt a dog, save a soul, not buy it from sites“He complains.

The message attracted hundreds of comments on the social platform. Some owners of Bichoni were revolted by the message of the Romanian, claiming that he would be frustrated that many of the masters of these animals would be women.
“It is the owners of Bichoni are not true” lovers “. But, at the same time, a great lover of animals – as he himself is self -defining – considers that a dog is useless if he does not have a “job”: to handle the sheep, to guard courts, to hunt rabbits, etc. As if only dogs with such skills, from which man can benefit from a material point of view, deserves love or deserve to be companions. And if the bikes are not a “popular breed among men”, this automatically makes some lower beings compared to other men’s favorite races, right? “writes one of them.
Complained for “bad naves”
Some gave justice to the author of the message, wondering where all the races they saw on the street: Dalmatian, Pudel, Doberman, German shepherd, etc.
“You rarely see a Rottweiler, a Beagle, a Jack Russell or a Border Collie. Everyone walks with these mop heads after her. Lucky we see, from time to time, a Husky, Labrador or Golden Retriever,” He writes a Romanian, on Reddit.
Where are the Pechinesis and cocktails of the elderly in the 2000s, another Internet use, and another declares their dissatisfaction with the masters of the Bichon.
“I also had a lot of bicchoni in the block (I think at least one on the floor). They were always aggressive with me on the staircase and, of course, they were doing their needs near my car. Obviously, the owners did not bother to clean up and then I really do not think the problem is the dog, but the people who take them.”he writes.
Other Romanians complain to the Bichoni and say they have come to bypass them, also because of their owners.
“The problem is that many masters do not train and socialize their dogs properly. The bichon has become a kind of synonym for” let’s take a cheap dog, but that seems fancy, “without knowing that their increased energy level can lead to very bad navies. I stay in an area where two of the dogs are bicycles, and half of them make me pass the street instantly, as I see them, when I am walking with my dogs. Sin of race and why it became to be ”, He writes a young woman.
Masters, accused of dog behavior
Many people who have a bicchoni have no idea what this breed cares about, supports another animal lover.
“They are small and cute, yes, but they must also be cared for and learn how to behave in different situations. They must be corrected when they are wrong (attention, not by who knows what idiotic methods, but verbally, calm but firm-as there are in videos and information everywhere). However, the animals have no guilt. add it.
Some Romanians said that they were chosen with scars after they were bitten or scratched by bicchoni who seemed harmless.
“I have a neighbor who has an amstaff and a bichon. Amstafful is the most sociable and good puppy, instead the bichon you say is the son of Satan. It makes all the devils when he gets it out, he bows at anything … horrible. No matter how much I love animals, I can’t really like them.”says one of them.
Others have nicknamed them “mop heads”, “rats” or told that they are prevented by them when they go through the city.
“Although I do not like small dogs especially, Bichonians are still a hypoallergenic breed, meaning it is not a bad choice for a master who lives in the apartment. The fact that most take their dog just because the child is bored or because he does well in the pictures on Instagram, without being able to take care of it.”, Believes another Romanian.
Another states that a bigger barking dog, but also defends you. A cat is small, but at least silent the hell and should not be taken out. “While a bichon is for nothing: it does not defend you, it makes a scandal outside and it smells,” he adds.
Protectors with their masters
However, some bicycles owners declare themselves delighted by their pets.
“I trained my dog-and yes, she also had ugly, but I worked with her, and now I can say that she is really good. She has a fixed leash and goes to her foot. However, I am aware of her past, and when we see other dogs I am reluctant. However, I do not pass the street and I do not have to keep her. He is not a guard dog, but he jumped to defend me when his father wanted to hit me.writes the master of a bichon.
Other Bichoni owners show that they are very useful animals, even if they are small in size.
“They are not impractical – it is a pet, it keeps your company, so it does its job. Besides, it does not have the size to defend you, but it barks and signals a danger. That with the” defense “depends. Some time ago, in the country, to mine, the bear came. We have a small, smart and good dog, who was gonn and, I think, went after him. After a few days, the dog returned. The bear, no ”, recalls one of them.
Bichonians are not bad, but they are small and friendly, and the world believes that, that is why, there should be no other owner of a dog in this race. “At least it is good that we see more and more company dogs through houses and do not tie in the chain, at the bottom of the court,” he concludes.
According to specialists, Bichonians are small dogs with fluffy fur, hypoallergenic and very popular as pets, especially in apartments. They are playful, energetic and intelligent, sometimes noisy and disobedient if they are not trained. Although there are no guard dogs, they are vigilant and signal any suspicious movement. Requires regular fur care and early socialization to develop balanced behavior.
In Romania there are about four million dogs with master, that is less than one dog in five people. Only in Hungary the ratio between dogs and people is closer, being a dog in three people, while in Denmark, Austria, Ireland, Sweden and Greece on each race dog are at least ten people.
The most popular dog names in Romania are, in order: Rex, Max, Bobiță, Ursu, Bobi, Bella, Pufi, Nero, Maia and Lăbuș.
