La-Chon
Bichon Frise / Lhasa Apso
Hybrid
The La-Chon is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the
Bichon Frise and the
Lhasa
Apso. 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. This hybrid cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid
Club. 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.

Josh, the La-Chon
(Bichon Frise / Lhasa Apso
hybrid)
at 7 months old. "Josh is always up to mischief and is a little
character. We had no problems in house training him and found him to be very
smart. By 4 months old we had him trained to sit, give his paw and lie down,
he is very food oriented so training simple things was easy. Even calling
him back to the house was easy if he thought a treat was to be had!
Now he's going through his willful stage and taking him for a walk is a real
pain, he just will not come back when called if there's other dogs about as
all he wants to do is play, not even a treat will tempt him! I'm sure with
more training and a bit of maturity he'll get there in the end. One thing
about this hybrid, you have to watch out for is 'hairy ears'! If you don't
pluck them regularly it can lead to all sorts of problems."

Holly, the La-Chon, at 5 months (Bichon
Frise / Lhasa Apso mix). Her owner states, "This picture was taken right after
her bath. She's very white and she gets dirty so easily. At 5 months she weighs
10 lbs and is 18" long (not including her tail) and 10" to the shoulder. She
still looks very "puppy" but she definitely growing. We are just crazy about
her. She causes a chorus of "Oohhs and Aahhs" when I take her out with me. We'd
love to get her training on an obstacle course - she'd be so good at it. She
loves to rough house and play. My husband has a couple of bug puppets that
"attack" her and she loves it. She's so sweet and lots of fun always. She loves
to go on road trips with me and still loves being outdoors. The other day she
was teasing my mom's huge cat and the cat got fed up and went after her. Poor
Holly flew though the house and jumped into my arms for safety. Still, she loves
to tease that cat. Everyone loves her (except the cat). She's a totally picky
eater when it comes to dog food. So I mix in a little hamburger with Iams or
Science Diet and then she'll eat it."
Holly, the La-Chon at 10 weeks.
"Her mom is a Lhasa and her
dad a Bichon. She is extremely smart, absolutely loves people, including
children and she's a total joy. She loves to snuggle and loves the outdoors as
well. She can run faster than heck and obeys hand signals really well. A little
hard to housebreak but that is coming along. Her eyes always look extremely blue
in the pictures, but they are a dark gray-blue in reality."
