About bichonpoos
Friendly, outgoing, and sweet, the Bichonpoos is an adorable lap dog that is too nice not to fall in love with. Bichonpoos are a crossbreed of a Bichon and Poodle, which means they are as sweet as they are smart.
Affectionate, kind, and easily trainable these crossbreeds share many characteristics with their parental breeds. Like the Bichon, Bichonpoos are high-spirited and love everyone they meet. They adore playing with children and even enjoy living with other animals.
Like the Poodle, the Bichonpoo’s coat needs quite a bit of attention to keep it looking beautiful. These playful lap dogs are eager to please and happiest when they’re the center of attention.
Bichonpoos require a moderate amount of exercise but are typically adaptable to their owner’s lifestyle. They love to go on long walks and play outside, but their small size means that a dog park with large dogs is not a good idea. If you’re looking for a high-spirited, well-mannered lapdog then the Bichonpoo is a great choice.

bichonpoo Care
The Bichon Frise is often bred to either the Toy or Miniature variety of Poodle. It is very unlikely that a Bichonpoo will have a Standard Poodle parent.
Both the Bichon Frise and the Poodle are known for their allergy-friendly coats and you can expect the same attributed with this designer.
