Bijou has a beautiful whitish-cream coat and lovely brown eyes. She will need regular grooming.

Bijou is super-sweet and gentle. She quickly warmed up to the other dogs in the foster home and enjoys playing with them; so she would love living with another dog. Bijou is quiet, laid back, and mild mannered, and never barks. She is energetic, has a spring in her step, and often prances around. She is crate- and house trained, and will let you know when she has to go out. Bijou needs a fenced yard, as she enjoys hanging out and wandering around. She walks well with her harness on a leash for very short periods. Bijou loves going for car rides, settling down right away. She does very well at the groomer and with being bathed.
