Does the Bichon Frise Need Tail Docking
The Bichon Frise's tail is flexible, and when its fluffy fur spreads out, it looks like a beautiful trumpet flower. The beautiful curly tail can be said to be the Bichon Frise’s signature feature. Of course, the choice to dock the Bichon’s tail depends on the owner’s consideration. Strictly speaking, tail docking is unnecessary for the Bichon, but if the owner must dock the tail for other reasons, thenBichon Frise can also have its tail docked!

Bichon Frise (detailed introduction)
Tail docking for the Bichon Frise should be done within a few weeks after birth, at this time the puppy’s nervous system is not yet fully developed and is less sensitive to pain. If tail docking is done after the Bichon grows up, it is much more dangerous and quite harsh.
If the owner insists on tail docking for the Bichon Frise, it must be done during puppyhood, and the surgery needs to be performed at a professional pet hospital. Once the Bichon grows up, do not dock its tail anymore.
