The Bichon Poodle is more of a teddy bear-like breed and they are suitable to be pets and lapdogs. They are suitable for show and also serve as the classic home dogs. Since it is a hybrid, it does take all of the features of its parents. Discover more about our Bichon Poo puppies for sale below!
Breed History
The Bichon Poo is a combination of the Bichon Frise and the Poodle. More of a crossbreed if you may and they do take on the features of the parents.
The Bichon Frise is known to have origins in the Mediterranean and was used as travel dogs by the Italians who subsequently returned them to France. They were adopted as regal and they were used in shows too. They are known to be very fluffy and playful.
The Poodle, on the other hand, is known to be a water retriever and is also skilled in a lot of canine sports though it is used more as a companion and a trophy dog. The Bichon Poo is a combination of these two dogs.
Temperament
The Bichon Poo breed is known to be very smart dogs and very intelligent too. They are easy to train and can be very friendly. They are loyal and will alert you if there are any noises that they cannot explain. They do well with children too and will be thrilled to play with them.
You should get them trained early enough so they know how to relate with other pets and with people. They tend to suffer from separation anxiety if left alone for long periods of time. Overall, they are active companions and fun too.
Environment
The Bichon Poo thrives in environments with a lot of people. Naturally, they are very sociable so if they are socially exposed at an early age, they may be friends to even the felines. They love attention and would love to be in the midst of children they could play with.
Exercise
For the Bichon Poo, 30 minutes of exercise a day is ideal. They are more of toy dogs and could be very little so you wouldn’t want to over-exercise them. This 30 minutes could include playtime with your children who would want to run around with him.
Since they are very fragile, you shouldn’t over-exercise them when they’re very young. You could wait until they’re 6 months old before taking them out on long walks. The key is to remain fit and so whatever form of exercise should be minimal.
Grooming
The Bichon Poo has a remarkable coat. Its hair is curly and it has a button like a nose that just sits right on its face. It almost looks like a teddy bear. Taking care of the Bichon Poo requires a lot of work so you could keep its coat in good condition.
First of all, you’d need to brush its coat daily and this is very important so you could avoid instances of matting which could occur. Given the fact that it has a curly coat, if it is not brushed daily, you run the risk of getting their coats matted and this could be detrimental to their health. They also need proper dental care.
So, it is advised that you give your dog a proper brush every day if you can and you could also try out some dental treats that could help them build stronger teeth and dispel any tooth problems they may have.
