HISTORY

The Poochon dog breed may have existed naturally over the years, but designer breeders began intentionally mixing Poodles and Bichon Frises in the late 1990s in Australia. Breeders wanted to mix the two breeds to combine the proud and intelligent Toy Poodle with the playful and lovable Bichon Frise. Mixing the two breeds separately can also help eliminate the health problems associated with purebreds and inbreeding. Although the Poochon breed began as a designer breed, many have ended up in shelters or in the care of rescue groups. Consider adoption if you decide this is the breed for you. They are high maintenance dogs. Check with local shelters, look for Poochon and Bichpoo rescues, or check with breed-specific Poodle and Bichon Frise rescues, as they sometimes take mixed breed dogs.
