most people with allergies to dogs.

non-shed coats.

any colour is acceptable. Their coat is coarse, medium long with loose curls[ and have a coat
that is more hypoallergenic than most dogs (a characteristic inherited from the Poodle).
All Bichonpoos will need grooming as their non-shed coats continue to grow, but will not shed.

Temperament

The Bichonpoo does very well in a number of environments, but you need to cater for a daily
exercise of at least half an hour, or a bit more if it does not have access to a backyard.
Poochons inherit a higher than average intelligence as both parents, particularly the Poodle, are
considered in the top section of intelligent dog breeds.[4] It should be easy to house-train your
Poochon fairly quickly and it will be quick to learn your nuances.

The Bichonpoo usually has an accommodating nature that will allow it to fit into most
households. A family with young children will suit it perfectly; existing pets should not be an
issue.
Though small in size, they make good watch dogs as they will alert their owners to unusual or
suspicious sounds with a hearty bark.

Activity

If Bichonpoos are given the proper training and exercise, they will do well in an apartment
however, they'll need extra space for playing. Poochons also tend to run back and forth in a
hallway to exercise
