My Yorkie Bichon Mix

My wife, Valarie and I love our dog Jack.  He arrived two years ago from a Minnesota breeder called MixedBreedPups.com. I bought him as a Christmas present for my wife and I can remember the day we brought him home from the airport.  He was so tiny and scared, but soon was jumping, running and barking.

Jack’s mother was a Yorkshire Terrier named Gayle and his father was a Bichon Frise.  As far as I know there were 3 other siblings, 2 males and 1 female who we’d love to reunite Jack with.

If you are unfamiliar with this dog breed mix, they are sometimes referred to as Yo-Chons or Yorkie-Chons.  Yorki-Chons are a great alternative for families looking for a Yorki-Poo. Most Yorkie-Poos mature a bit smaller than is safe for the youngest children, so these fit in very well with those families. Yorki-Chons are sturdy, fun loving dogs, typically about medium in activity level.

Yorkie-Bichons are non-shedding, a great choice for families with allergies. While no dog is completely hypo-allergenic, these come close. Professional grooming should be planned at 6 to 12 week intervals, depending on the allergy situation in the home, and the style of cut your prefer. Long trims will require more frequent grooms.

Jack is just turned 2 years old on October 30th and we couldn’t be happier with him.  This site is dedicated to him and we will be posting stories, pictures and anything else related to Yorkie Bichon mix breeds to help spread the word about this wonderful mix breed pup.
