About Poochon Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Poochon, a cross between the Poodle and the Bichon Frise, is a small companion dog not recognized by the AKC but registered through designer organizations such as ACHC and IDCR. Adults stand 9-15 inches and weigh 6-17 pounds, with coats ranging from soft waves in F1 litters to tighter, curlier, lower shedding coats in F1B and multigen crosses; plan on professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Expect the Bichon's cheerful, people oriented playfulness paired with the Poodle's quick witted trainability and sensitivity. Best suited to attentive owners, including apartment dwellers and first time handlers, who can provide daily companionship and consistent positive training.
