As precious dogs that crave cuddles, belly rubs, and petting, Aussiechons are comfortable with being handled. Their nature is sweet, their temperament calm, and their disposition joyful. Â
As part Mini Aussie and part Bichon Frise, the lively Aussiechons have a strong drive towards adventures, exploration, and outdoor fun.

Care
Aussiechon Grooming
Aussiechons are a moderate to low-maintenance breed that require one thorough brushing every week. Because they do not shed very much brushing becomes essential to keep their hair from matting or getting tangled. A monthly bath with shampoo specifically designed for dogs is also recommended for a clean skin and a shiny coat. Their ears should be checked and cleaned regularly to avoid any dust deposits or ear infections.
If Aussiechons donât file their nails down naturally, they should be clipped after every monthly bath. Aussiechons should also have their teeth brushed at home frequently and, if possible, taken for a professional dental care every few months.Â
Aussiechon Exercise Needs
As a moderately active breed, Aussiechons donât have high exercise requirements. Although they crave the occasional run and high intensity workout, they do best with a daily routine of 2 or 3 walks and some active games indoors. Aussiechons are very adaptable dogs which means that they can adapt to a more laid-back environment and less daily exercise. That being said, it is more beneficial for their health to have at least one or two daily walks. Â
Aussiechon Training
Aussiechon puppies are just as smart as they are adorable. They love being taught new tricks and are quite fond of having their trainerâs complete attention. These Einstein puppies strive for more serious challenges after they learn their basic obedience commands, so it is best to keep them motivated and engaged with various games and challenges.Â
Socializing naturally friendly dogs like the Aussiechons should be effortless. They should, however, be introduced to various sounds, places, and certain distractions early on to help them become more comfortable during away-from-home outings. Â
Because they are tiny and precious, Aussiechons are often overly spoiled by their owners, which leads them to become more stubborn and less inclined to learn or pay attention. Their nature is easygoing and obedient, but spoiling is sure to change that so it is best avoided. Â
History
Aussiechons, or as some like to call them, Mini Aussie Bichons are magnificent designer dogs that originate from the United States. Half Miniature Australian Shepherd and half Bichon Frise, these fashionable designer dogs were created to inherit features, personality traits, and skills from both of their parents in equal measure. These small dogs are very smart, affectionate, happy, and truly gorgeous in appearance. They take after their Bichon parent in both adorable behavior and friendliness, and after their Aussie parent in loyalty and intelligence. Â
As their precious looks and delightful personalities became known in the world, Aussiechon popularity skyrocketed. Quickly spreading from one country to another, these beautiful dogs came to be known as the latest fashion icons in the fashion capitals of the world. They are popular in Paris, France, Milan, and New York. Â
Aussiechons are very young as a breed, having been around for a little over two decades. They were first introduced to the world in 2000 and have since enjoyed a fantastic reputation as one of the most popular designer dogs in the world. Although their history is quite recent, we can find out more about what these dogs are like by learning more about their parents.Â
The Miniature Australian Shepherd, who is recognized by the American Kennel Club as the Miniature American Shepherd, is the favorite dog breed of Western Americans.

These dogs are actors in western movies, stunt artists in rodeo festivals, champions in dog sports, and loved companion pets. Because they possess sought-after dog qualities, the Mini Aussies were a top pick for the Aussiechon mix.Â
The Bichon Frise, a little white dog with curly hair, a button nose, and a great deal of love to give, is an obvious pick for the Aussiechon mix. Bichons donât shed and are a perfect fit for owners that suffer from pet-related allergies. Apart from their hypoallergenic qualities and truly beautiful appearance, these little white dogs have an endearing behavior and a cuddly nature.
