Which geographic region is associated with the origin of the Bichon Frise parent breed?
Answer
Mediterranean region.
The Bichon Frise, one of the two parent breeds contributing to the Shichon/Zuchon hybrid, originates from the Mediterranean region. Historically, these dogs were often associated with sailors traversing the seas. Their intelligence and charming demeanor later led to their prominence as performers in settings such as circuses. This contrasts with the Shih Tzu, which is an ancient breed developed specifically for companionship among the royalty of China.
