To a visitor, a Bichon Poodle mix might appear “yappy,” but there’s so much more to this confident breed. The Poochoo, Bichpoo, Bichon Poo, or Bichon Poodle are mixed breed dogs. Fans might even call it a “Doodle.”
The Bichon belongs to the same family of dogs as the Maltese, Havanese, Bolognese, and Coton de Tulear, but it has a double coat. This breed’s curly hair is thick and really needs daily grooming.
In the 1900s, during the Renaissance, French royalty favored them. In 1956, a French family brought their Bichon to the United States. The American Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1971.
Bichon Frises actually have long stretches of a tranquil countenance (sleeping mixed with your companionship) with bursts of high activity just like many dogs do, including the Poochon.
How Are Bichon’s and Poochon’s Energy Levels Alike?
These dogs are bright and catch on quickly to positive-reinforcement training with praise, treats, or whatever motivates it.But, of course, they need to be trained early and socialized, too, so you won’t have a tiny tyrant in the house.
This wonderful dog’s curly, dense coat definitely screams for attention. Ironically, they’re not heavy shedders. They just have the type of (double) coat that can quickly develop mattes.
