Wisconsin: Bichon Frisé
Perhaps bichon frisé owners in Wisconsin appreciate this breed’s interesting history. According to the American Kennel Club, the bichon began its modern development on Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands. Thereafter (sometime in the 13th century), it associated itself with European nobles in Spain, Italy and France. King Henry III of France was such a fan that he reportedly carried a few whenever he traveled in a tray-like basket suspended by neck ribbons.
