The beauty and elegance of white animals always attracts attention. There are several dog breeds that resemble fluffy white clouds, begging to be touched.
Bichon Frise
This dog's aristocratic posture and haircut, which makes its head resemble a small white ball, immediately catch the eye. Their snow-white coat is considered the main sign of a purebred.
These dogs originated in the Canary Islands. Local sailors took them with them on voyages and kept them as food guards on ships. These small animals are very healthy and can live 12 to 18 years.
Bichon Frises are very friendly, cheerful, and courageous. Their curly coat is hypoallergenic. They don't like being alone, so they can sometimes make a lot of noise. Bichons are quite demanding in terms of grooming – their coat needs to be brushed daily, bathed twice a week, and trimmed every two months.
Samoyed dog
Samoyeds are considered one of the most ancient breeds. They originated in Siberia, northern Russia. Originally used for sled pulling, Samoyeds retain some pack habits. This should be taken into account when choosing a pet, as they do not tolerate being alone.
Dogs of this breed are known for their robust health. Samoyeds are very active, energetic, and friendly. They received their interesting name because of their white coats. When harnessed and pulling a sleigh through the snow, it seemed as if the sleigh itself was moving, as the white dogs were invisible against the blanket of snow.
Unlike other dogs, Samoyeds love seafood, so owners should treat their pets to fish occasionally. Their perfect white coat doesn't require constant grooming—it's cleaned with special natural oils and remains odorless. However, their paws should be washed after every walk.
American Eskimo Dog
This breed has long white fur, beady black eyes, and a small, pointed muzzle—all the hallmarks of a miniature Spitz. The breed was developed in America in the early 20th century. Initially, it wasn't particularly popular, but after performing in circuses, its fame skyrocketed.
Beyond their looks, they also have an excellent character. Eskimo Spitz love children, are good-natured, but territorial – they are wary of strangers. This doesn't apply to animals; Spitz can even get along with cats.
Naturally, their white coat is the breed's main asset. It needs to be brushed daily with special brushes. Bathing shouldn't be frequent, but their paws should be washed after every walk.
Bolognese
This breed has been known since the time of Ancient Rome, and was often given as gifts to European nobility. Sailors often took them on voyages to hunt small rodents in the holds.
This small dog is renowned for its good nature, friendliness, and affection. Bologneses are loyal and will love their owners no matter what. However, it should be noted that they should not be treated cruelly. This breed does not tolerate loneliness and may even become depressed.
Bologneses almost always have a very positive attitude, making them ideal for children aged 8 to 12. Despite their friendly and responsive nature, these dogs will only thrive in a small family circle. Owners will need to pay close attention to their pet's coat, requiring daily brushing, sometimes several times a day. It's best to entrust grooming to a professional.
West Highland White Terrier
It's called a miniature "Scotsman," so it's not hard to guess its native country: Scotland. Originally bred to hunt small game, the terrier soon evolved into a small companion dog. However, even after this transformation, the dog retained its old habits: it's merciless to small animals, but can live under the same roof with cats.
These animals are very stubborn, so training can be challenging. This breed will always be loyal and devoted to one person, even if they live in a large family.
To maintain their snow-white coat, brush it once a month, comb it once a week, and bathe it once a month with a special shampoo. Despite their long hair, these pets do not shed or develop an odor.
Volpino Italiano
The Italian Spitz is another name for the breed. Originally used as a guard dog, it soon became a companion dog.
The breed gained popularity during the Roman Empire. Volpino was considered a sacred creature by both rich and poor. Volpino Italiano are the most agile of all Spitz breeds. These Italian dogs never get sad and don't let their owners get sad. If their owners are away for long periods, the pet becomes very homesick – they can't stand loneliness.
The owner's primary concern will be the animal's thick white coat. The Volpino doesn't require frequent bathing—its coat is self-cleaning. It does require frequent brushing to maintain a well-groomed appearance. The Spitz should be walked twice a day—morning and evening.
Maltese
Maltese are toy dogs with a "doll-like" white coat. They will always be loyal to one person, even if they live in a large family. They need to be walked regularly if their owner doesn't want their pet to become overweight.
Maltese love to bark, sometimes even just for fun. The Maltese is a hypoallergenic breed, shedding virtually nothing and producing no odor. It can be kept even in a small apartment – it will feel comfortable. Maltese need to be brushed daily and regularly visited by a groomer. They should be washed once a week using a special shampoo and conditioner.
These dogs are very cute. Their thick white fur makes them look like soft toys or clouds. But to keep them looking this way, they need to be groomed.
