Why A Poochon?
Why choose a Poochon? We can share why we fell in love with this wonderful breed! If you are looking for small, affectionate, and hypoallergenic dog with intelligence, playfulness, and a loving nature. That is packed full of personality, attitude and sas then a Poochon is a great choice. As a mix between a Poodle and a Bichon Frise, they inherit the best qualities from both breeds—loyalty, intelligence, and an allergy-friendly, low-shedding coat.
Poochons are energetic, loving, and highly adaptable. They thrive in family environments, get along well with children and other pets, and love to be the center of attention.
Additional Poochon Info
The Poochon is a hybrid breed that combines the intelligence and hypoallergenic coat of the Poodle with the affectionate and cheerful nature of the Bichon Frise. Poochons were originally bred to create a small, low-shedding companion dog with an adaptable temperament, making them an ideal pet for families, singles, and seniors.
Poochons are known for their happy-go-lucky attitude and are always eager to please. They are highly social and enjoy being part of the family, whether it’s playing outside, learning new tricks, or simply cuddling on the couch. Due to their small size and friendly nature, they do well in both apartments and larger homes.

Poochon Maintenance
Poochons require regular grooming to keep their soft, curly coats looking their best. Their fur should be brushed several times a week to prevent tangles and matting. Many owners choose professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to maintain their adorable appearance.
Their ears should be checked regularly for cleanliness, as their floppy ears can be prone to infections. Routine nail trimming and dental care are also important for keeping them healthy. While Poochons do not require excessive exercise, they enjoy daily walks and interactive playtime to keep them happy and fit.
With proper care and love, Poochons remain one of the most affectionate and delightful companion breeds.
