More About Bichpoo Breed

Bichon Frise

Poodle (Toy)

Overview:

The Bichpoo, a delightful designer cross between the Bichon Frise and the Toy Poodle, originates from the desire to blend the best qualities of its parent breeds. These small, charming dogs typically weigh between 6-18 pounds and boast a soft, curly, or wavy coat that is usually low-shedding, making them a popular choice for individuals with allergies. Physically, they often exhibit a compact build, expressive dark eyes, and a cheerful disposition. Temperamentally, Bichpoos are known for being intelligent, affectionate, and playful, thriving on human companionship. Their adaptable nature makes them well-suited for both families and apartment living, provided they receive regular mental stimulation and moderate exercise. While generally healthy, potential health considerations include patellar luxation, eye conditions, and hip dysplasia, common in their parent breeds. Their sweet, outgoing personalities make them wonderful, devoted companions.
