Cocabichon
Adult Size: Depends on mix
Breed: Cocabichon(Bichon Frise and Cocker Spaniel hybrid)
Breed Group: N/A

The Cocabichon is not a purebred dog, nor is it a recognized breed. Cocabichons are a hybrid or cross breed developed from the Bichon Frise and the Cocker Spaniel. However, the cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC).

Though not officially recognized by the American Kennel Club, the Cocabichon combines the docile and easy-going nature of the Bichon Frise with the sweet and friendly disposition of the Cocker Spaniel.

Though the Cocabichon cross can pull behavioral characteristics from both the Bichon Frise and the Cocker Spaniel, the Cocabichon is best known for its playful attitude and poodle-like coat. These friendly pups are also remarkably loyal, loving and sweet. When investigating a cross-breed, prospective buyers should research the behavioral characteristics of both parent breeds.

In terms of health issues, veterinarians and breeders suggest that you ask about the dog’s risk for hip dysplasia, bloat, hypothyroidism, progressive retinal atrophy, mitral valve defect, epilepsy, cancers and patellar luxation.
