Temperament
They make great and loyal family pets and love to play with children and toys. They are affectionate, and they want nothing more than to please you and be your best friend. Their charm and wit are sure to keep you entertained.
They can develop separation anxiety, so don’t leave your Bich-Poo alone for too long. They also make good watch dogs, alerting you of any suspicious noises.
Appearance
Bich Poos typically have loose, medium-length, curly fur and a coarse coat. They do not have an undercoat, making them a good choice for those with allergies. (Let’s be clear though: there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog.) Their coats can be variations of:
- Tan
- Brown
- White
- Black
- Black and white
- Tan and white
The Bich-Poo typically grows to be 9 to 14 inches tall and weighs between 6 and 12 pounds.
Exercise
They do experience spurts of energy, and that daily physical activity will help them work it out. If they don’t have access to a backyard, they may require a bit more exercise time.
Try a short hike, a visit to the dog park, or a playdate with another pooch for added exercise and mental stimulation.
We recommend 30 minutes of activity a day and about 8 miles of walking per week.
The Tale of Teacup Bich Poo Puppies
Although the history of many hybrid dogs isn’t long because they are modern breeds, the histories of their parent breeds are typically long and well-documented. This hybrid is a cross between the Bichon Frise and the Poodle.
• History of Bichon Frise
The Bichon Frise was created in the Mediterranean centuries ago. They were often traded, and that’s how they made their way around the world. In the 1300s the breed became very popular with Italian nobility. France discovered the breed in the 1500s, and they were also treasured there. They made their way to and became popular in the Canary Islands in the 15th and 16th centuries. The 1800s saw a decline in the breed’s popularity, but there were efforts to restabilize the breed after the First World War.
• History of Poodles
The Poodle was developed in Germany as a working dog adept at retrieving waterfowl. It worked as a truffle-hunter in France as well. Poodles have an undeserved reputation as very fancy and regal companion pets, but the breed is actually very athletic and talented at many canine sports. They are known for and bred for their intelligence, with makes them great candidates for parenting crossbreeds like the Bich Poo.

Caring for Your Teacup Bich Poo Puppies
Regular maintenance is important to ensure the well-being of your Teacup Bich Poo puppy to keep them happy, healthy, and looking at their best.
• Grooming
Bich-Poos, known for their hypoallergenic qualities, require regular grooming to maintain their coat's health and appearance. Brushing once or twice a week helps to eliminate knots and tangles, preventing matting. Regular bathing is necessary, and a trim or clip every two to four months keeps their coat neat and manageable.
• Ear Care
Due to their susceptibility to ear infections, it's essential to check and clean your Teacup Bich Poo puppy's ears weekly. This helps prevent buildup of wax and debris, reducing the risk of infections and discomfort.
• Nail Maintenance
Keeping your puppy's nails trimmed is crucial for their comfort and mobility. Trim nails once or twice a month or when you hear them clicking on the floor as they walk.
• Oral Hygiene
Maintaining good oral hygiene is vital for your puppy's overall health. Brush your puppy's teeth at least twice a week, ideally daily, to prevent dental issues and keep its breath fresh.
