Z is for Zuchon!

Z is for Zuchon!

(Shichon) (Teddy Bear) (Shichon-Teddy Bear) (Tzu Frise)

Bichon Frise / Shih Tzu Hybrid Dogs

The Zuchon, also commonly called a Shichon by many breeders, is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Bichon Frise and the Shih Tzu. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

Recognized Names:
American Canine Hybrid Club = Zuchon
Designer Dogs Kennel Club = Zuchon
International Designer Canine Registry® = Shichon (Zuchon)
Designer Breed Registry = Tzu Frise or Zuchon

This is Cinnamon, she is a Bichon Frise / Shih-Tzu cross (Zuchon, commonly called a Shichon).

V is for Vociferous!

Betsy Belle: "Just sitting with my dad having a great time!"

Bonnie Lass: "How come she gets to sit with Dad! I was here first!
She's only one year old and I'm twelve! I've got priority rights!"

Bonnie Lass: "I do not want to sit with her here too!"

Bonnie: "I'm warning you...!"

Bonnie Lass: "I'm going to howl if she doesn't leave!"

Bonnie: "I warned you!
That's it! I'm HOWLING!"

Betsy Belle: "All right! All right! Just stop that racket! I'll leave!"

Bonnie Lass: "V is for Vociferous!"

(It works every time!)
