Some French were exemplary of the island in the years 20 and they called the race, unique in the world, bichon frise

The American researcher Matthew Sell follow the trail in Tenerife of an endemic breed of dog from the island who was so famous that it became almost everyone and was coveted by Kings and nobles. Although during the last century, it bore the name of Tenerife, the French, its largest exporter during the period, they changed it and put bichon frise. The history of this pet is little known in the Canary Islands, unless someone related to the canine world. Showing its origin is virtually impossible, but the expert knows that after the two world wars โ€“ between the decade of the years 20 and 50โ€“ several specimens were taken to France to recover the species in the Gallic country.

The group that helps Matthew Sell, among which is the Professor of the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) Ulysses Martin, want to know who these people were. The goal is to "trace the recent history of the bichon frisรฉ, who later disappeared from the Island". Veterinarians, as explained by the Canarian expert, they only register this type of breeds in the Peninsula, While there are no breeders in Tenerife. Somehow, This dog was recognized in Europe and "we don't know what adventures it had in the Canary Islands". ยซWhat we know is that around 1924 and 1950 "They were exported to France", indicates Martin.
The main lines and the best standards of this breed today descend from the bichons that were sent from Tenerife.. ยซWe would like to find those people who were able to raise or care for this dog from the Island, because today no one knows the bichon and those that exist have come from the Peninsula., ensures the ULL expert.
