In which formal AKC group is the Bichon Frise recognized?

Answer

Non-Sporting Group

The American Kennel Club categorizes recognized purebred dogs into distinct groups based on the original function for which they were bred or refined. The Bichon Frise, one of the Zuchon’s parent breeds, has a specific placement within this organizational structure. It is officially recognized by the AKC and designated as belonging to the Non-Sporting Group. This classification is based on the breed's history and established characteristics that do not fit neatly into the other functional groupings like Herding, Sporting, or Terrier categories.
