Poochon Puppies For Sale

 in PremierPups Ohio

A cross between a purebred Bichon Frise and a purebred Miniature Poodle or a Toy Poodle, the Poochon, Bichapoo, or Bichpoo first appeared on the scene back in the nineties. It has become one of the most popular modern cross breeds.

Throughout the years, these charming little dogs have found their way into the hearts and homes of many people throughout the world. Their adorable looks, high intelligence, and fun-loving attitude are inherited from both parent breeds. And their loyal and affectionate natures are what makes them one of the most in-demand designer puppies.

Appearance and Grooming

When it comes to their coat, thanks to their Poodle ancestry, they have hypoallergenic curly, low to non-shedding soft coats. This makes them a perfect choice for anyone who suffers from allergies. Their most common colors are white, apricot, black, and blue. These hypoallergenic dogs can be owned by pet owners with both mild and more severe allergies.

These beautiful dogs should be brushed daily to avoid tangles and knots and should be trimmed and groomed every 6-8 weeks if a short coat is preferred. Daily brushing for a few minutes will present the best results.

Temperament

Poochons are lively, energetic, and highly intelligent dogs that are eager to please and always ready for their next adventure. Because of their high levels of excitement they can be a little unruly at times especially when still young, which is a trait they have picked up from both the Poodle and the Bichon Frise. They are always on alert and aware of their environment, which may lead to excessive barking. However, this can be gently curbed when dogs are still young to prevent any real problem later in a dog’s life.

Family and Companionship

These dogs make wonderful companions and family pets in households where the children are slightly older. They show incredible loyalty to their owners and form strong ties with their families. They should not be left alone for long periods of time as this can lead to separation anxiety.

Exercise

The Poochon does very well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Because of their energetic personalities, they require daily exercise of at least half an hour, or more, especially if they don’t have access to an area where they can leisurely run around throughout the day.

Training and Socialization

Poochons are typically very easy to train, but like with all dogs, the earlier you begin the better results you will get. This is especially true with problem behaviors that may occur from anxiety, including excessive barking. These dogs are very eager to please, so training should be easy and fun.

In addition, it is very important to begin socializing your new puppy as early as possible. Their socialization should include introducing them to lots of new situations, noises, people, other animals, and dogs. Showing consistency in both training and socialization throughout the dog’s life will reap the biggest benefits.

Our Poochon puppies for sale are socialized early by both their dog breeder and our staff. This is to ensure that their transition is as smooth as possible.
