I have had dogs all my life, mostly large breeds. Now I'm living in a smaller place, so I decided to get a smaller breed. I was going to get a Peke-a-Poo, but the breeder talked my into trying this new mixed breed. She told me that Bichons had better coats than poodles and that this litter had really nice coats. So, I agreed to try a Peke-a-Chon. Well, not only did this little puppy have a beautiful coat, but she also has a fantastic disposition. She is incredibly social--loves people, cats, and dogs of all sizes. She seldom barks unless it is called for. She is extremely intelligent and already knows the meaning of quite a few words at the age of 6 months, including "toy," "potty," and "off." She is fun, lively, curious, and lovable but not clingy. I've taken her on 2 long car trips with no problems. I would definitely recommend this breed!

i had always wanted a dog never was allowed to have one so when the time came for it i was dead set on owning a pure bred cocker spanial so i made a call to a local pet shop in my old home town and they told me they had lots of cocker spanial on sale so i said i wanted a girl so i went there with my heart happy that i was going home with a buff and white little female they had there when i got there she had been sold all they had left were boys but i did like one that was buff and white but my sister insisted that we ge a smaller breed dog so we looked around we saw shih tzus , snauzers , and even a rat terrier but i did not feel a connection to any dog probably because none were active they just wanted to be left alone finally the sales girl god bless mindy lol she says to me i have a dog that meets most what your looking for but he's mixed i was like great a mut and he's shih tzu and papillon he's gonna have crooked teeth and worst he was my least favorate color blk and wht so she brings him to me and my sister he was so tiny he was 3 pounds and was about to be 3 months old i was not impressed but i was wrong the minute i held him he licked my face like there was no tomorrow and my face would be the last he ever saw i thought that was cute he also did the same to my sister so i put him back where mindy got him from i said to my sister i'm getting the cocker spanial but everytime we walked by pluto in his pen he would jump up and cry at us so a lady and her grand daughter saw that and went to calm him down and look at him well when they picked him up he kept quiet and ignored them so they put him back i went up to him in his pen he kept whining at me so i picked him up he licked me on the nose so i said i think we should bring you home at that moment i felt the connection i was so looking for in a dog i had found my first dog and i don't look back at the cocker spanial i never got me and pluto have been joined to the hip since then and always will be ..
