What to look for in a mixed breed dog?
It may seem very odd when you think that there are so many cross breeds popping up, both intentionally and unintentionally, around the world each day, and there’s nothing really special about a Yorkie Bichon breed cropping up over time. But this fact has a completely different meaning in the eyes of potential dog owners.
Well if you are one those people who are looking for a Yorkie Bichon mix but are not sure whether you really want one, and are also not sure what the dog would grown up to be like, then it turns out that you are not the only one in this dilemma. There is no person who can correctly and accurately estimate what a mixed breed dog would turn up to be like, and this fact is true in for all mixed breed dogs.
To say the least, the mixed breed puppy may turn out to be predominantly like the Bichon father/mother or like the Yorkie mother/father. The parents of a Yorkie Bichon mix do not have to of a specific breed, as in the case of a Puggle, for it to be called a purebred, i.e. you do not need to have a Yorkie father or a Bichon Frise mother, or vice versa combination to call it a pure breed. It can be a mix of either and still be called a pure bred.
This is one of the reasons why it is tricky to breed a mix breed dog. As no one dog breeder has the entire lineage of a dog going back hundreds of years, it can be quite difficult to find out whether or not the ancestors of the parents themselves cross bred at some point in the past. The problem is that in some cases genetic defects may hide themselves for a few generations, and might come back to affect the dog at the point when the dog breeders are about to cross breed the dogs.
The resulting dog can be one of the cutest things that you have ever seen, or it can be a hodgepodge of odds and ends. This however is very rare in good breeding programs, and if you want a good Yorkie Bichon mix then most likely you will get a good combination of a Yorkie Bichon mix.
What would be the characteristics of this kind of a dog, never mind the features of such a dog? Well, unfortunately there is no way through which you can tell these beforehand, and most of the dog owners would just have to wait and see what their Yorkie Bichon Puppy grows up into; a predominantly Bichon mix or a predominantly Yorkie mix. Whatever be the case, one thing that you can be assured of is that you would be the proud owner of a dog that is very loyal to you and is also very cute and adorable, what else do you want for yourself?
