The Papichon is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the
Bichon Frise and the
Papillon. 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.
