Lacie may be small in size but she's big in fluff! She's a 3-year-old Bichon Frise. She lacks the classic Bichon Frise tail that elegantly cascades across a Bichon's back, since hers was damaged early in her life. Having a wacky tail doesn't hold her back from doing handstands, feet riding, or even skipping. She is eager to please! She can be a bit shy at times, but there's nothing she loves more than chasing down her favourite orange ball. Lacie's athleticism and skill slam-dunking a basketball even made her a finalist in Purina's search for the Beneful Incredibites Most Incredible Small Dog. Lacie is loved and adored by her handler Mary.
