A cross between a pedigree Bichon Frise and a pure bred Miniature Poodle , although sometimes a Toy Poodle, the Poochon first appeared on the scene back in the nineties and 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 thanks to their adorable looks, high intelligence and fun loving attitude inherited from both parent breeds, as well as their loyal and affectionate natures.
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. They 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.
Temperament
They 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. These dogs 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 that they can leisurely run around throughout the day.
Training and Socialization
In terms of training, 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 fairly 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.

I was really nervous about purchasing a puppy on line, as we have had horrible experience with puppies from bad breeders in the past. I read all of the reviews about Premier pups and did all of my research about the company and decided to give them a try because of all of the great reviews. I was terrified the day I hit submit upon the purchase of our new puppy. Well, we could not be happier with our choice! The purchase process from day 1 was seamless. We could not get Ted delivered via airplane (from Ohio to NJ) due to the pandemic, so Premier pups drove him out to NJ! He was delivered with all of the essentials, and even after he was home with us, they called us two separate times to make sure he was doing ok with us! Ted is the sweetest puppy, and we are so in love. Thank you Premier Pups for brining our little Teddy into our lives. :)

Loving life with Leo! He’s brought so much fun energy to our home. Working with Premier Pups was so easy- it was seven days from finding our dog on their site to when he joined us at home. They were responsive in the process, cared to provide detailed follow up instructions and check on Leo’s well-being after he arrived. Our family is now complete.

We loved our experience with Premier Pups! Hendrix was a COVID baby so they weren’t able to fly him out. So they drove him out, which I honestly preferred! The kept us updated every step of the way. Premier pups customer service is great! Any hiccups with at home care, they were only a call or text away. We couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our little family. He’s so lively, smart, and loyal. He’s already picked his favorite, aka dad. Currently 4 months and 5lbs in this picture!

Biscuit formerly known as Fry as been with us for 3 weeks and today he is 3 months old. He’s adapting well with us. Very happy with premier pups from delivery to any questions that we had were answered to our satisfaction. A healthy puppy full of energy is what was promised and was received. We believe premier pups takes that extra care initially and ensuring that it keeps up with their high standards. Premier pups has met our expectations. Biscuit enjoys his naps and playtime. Would recommend premier pups to future prospective pet owners.
