Oppa Turns 1! (Caring for a Mini Korean Bichon Frise)
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
We can't believe Oppa is turning 1 year old in a few days! It feels like just yesterday we brought him home during the pandemic quarantine and he's been an important part of our family since then.
A lot of people have asked us for updates about our mini Korean bichon (yes, he's still alive, haha) and for tips on how to care for this particular type of breed. So we decided to share with your some of the lessons we've learned as new dog owners and we'll show you a little bit of how our daily life has been with Oppa. You'll see his personality in this video and the essential things that we recommend all bichon frise owners should have.
I stress the term mini "Korean" bichon because what we've also learned is that bichon frises around the world are not all the same type, nor do they necessarily have the same facial or body features. The American bichons are slightly different from the ones here in the Philippines, then compared to the bichons in Korea, you can also see the unique qualities that separate them if you look closely enough. So I felt it was important to specify that Oppa came from South Korea.
Hopefully this will be a helpful review and guide for anyone looking to care for a mini bichon or purchase one soon. This is a beautiful, gorgeous, patient, smart, and loving breed. Happy birthday, Oppa, we love you!!

Hello, may I ask which breeder you got Oppa from? We just lost our beloved Bichon 2 months shy of his 18th birthday. He looked exactly like Oppa!
Oppa is so adorable and healthy. Congratulations!!! Btw, do you mind me asking if the shop you got him from, has guaranteed his full-grown size? I've been doing research, but some shops even said as for their Mini Bichon, their max growth is 3kg :(

Hello! The shop where we purchased Oppa from didn't guarantee his full-grown size. :) He actually weighed in a little higher than we expected but we didn't really mind. He's much smaller than the standard bichon but he's definitely not a tiny teacup. I would be wary of shops guaranteeing anything in terms of maximum size. :)

@@eleanoreteo thank you very much for the prompt response. I’ve been looking into a lot of shops located in South Korea and it is so hard to trust one. Also been googling like crazy about mini Korean Bichon, and your vids with Oppa really stole my heart. I wonder why they called Korean Bichon, maybe because of their face structure?
How is Oppa doing after a year? my bichon also has tear stains and I was wondering how often and how long did you use the eye drops before you saw results? :)

Oppa is doing great!! He is officially 2 years old already, still cute and fluffy as ever. :) We started using it when the tear stains were still mild, it only took about 1-2 months for his face to clean up again near his nose.
Hello, I’m considering getting a Korean Bichon like Oppa. How is he doing?

Hi Alvin! :) We purchased his food tray from Pretty Bubble Dog, and for tear stains, we use Elijah eye vitamins. We give him regular baths each week and he gets groomed professionally about once every two weeks so his face usually stays pretty white. ☺️

How's Oppa nowadays ? Could you give the contact where you got Oppa? thank you
Hi there. I also purchased my mini bichon from pretty bubble and she is now 10 months old weighs 3.8 kilos. I have been searching on what food to give her since I think she got used to ANF beef and salmon. I decided to give her Royal Cannine brand specifically for bichon and so far she’s eating it. Are you still giving Oppa the nitrogen vits till now? I have stopped giving her and shifted to another brand when I read in the label that the Nutrigen plus is good up to 3 months. I also stopped the eye drops when she was 8 months coz it’s not working with her and just wipe it with tear cleaner instead. Is your Oppa still taking the ANF lamb and rice until now? Thank you..

How did you train him not to pick up his leg when peeing as he got older?
@eleanoreteo

Oh we didn't train him for that! I think dogs naturally lift their leg up when they pee as they grow older, he usually keeps both legs down though. :)

Oh please check the temperature of the water, it has to be lukewarm or warm to the touch and best to always start from his bottom and back before moving up to his head. This video might help. :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/k5uIkteeqsi5pZM.html
You don’t take him out because of covid????? So he has never had any walks?

Hello! When he was a puppy we would put him on the pee mat and wait for him to pee on it. When he was done we would give him a treat until he eventually picked it up on his own. The easiest would be to move him to the pee mat after just waking up in the morning, that was the sure way for him to pee on it. :)
