Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Poochon? The Poochon is a designer hybrid dog that blends the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle with the gentle and affectionate nature of the Bichon Frise. These small, playful companions are brimming with charm and loyalty, making them a favorite for families and individuals alike. Known for their cheerful personalities, Poochons thrive on interaction and quickly become the heart of any home.
How big do Poochons get? Poochons typically stand 9 to 15 inches tall, giving them a compact and versatile size. They’re small enough for apartment living but sturdy enough to enjoy active playtime, making them suitable for a wide range of lifestyles.
Are Poochons hypoallergenic? Yes, Poochons are often considered hypoallergenic, inheriting a low-shedding coat from both parent breeds. While no dog is completely allergen-free, their minimal shedding and reduced dander levels make them a great option for allergy-sensitive households. Regular grooming helps maintain their soft, curly, or wavy coat.
How long do Poochons live? Poochons have a lifespan of 12 to 15 years, offering years of companionship and joy. Their robust hybrid genetics and small size contribute to their longevity, and with proper care, they remain healthy and playful well into their golden years.
Are Poochons good with children? Poochons are excellent with children. Their gentle and playful temperament makes them wonderful playmates for kids of all ages. They enjoy both interactive games and quiet cuddle sessions, bonding closely with their family.
