WHEN Deborah Hutton first saw her pup Billie, the venue couldn't have been more unusual.
''We met at Sydney airport,'' said the media personality.
''I'd flown up from a shoot in Adelaide and Billie had flown down from her birthplace in Queensland.
''She was this tiny little fluffball that fitted in my palm and she curled up in my car and fell asleep - a real travel baby.''
That was almost two years ago and Billie, a bichon frise-shih tzu cross, is bigger now - although not much. But what she lacks in stature, she makes up for in character.
''She's got this fantastic personality,'' Hutton said.

It sounds like a bichon will be a talented fit for your family. The behavioral things you require will, with ANY breed, require some training. You have to take the puppy out to socialize it to be satisfactory with other dogs, children, adults, and things like that. Consider taking it to a puppy class, no problem what breed of dog.
There's a critical period of socialization in a puppy, where they need to be exposed to things so they don't end up abnormal about them later. A...
