About Our Yo- Chons Description & Appearance: Yo-Chon dogs are crossed between the Yorkshire Terrier and Bichon Frise making for a solid and sturdy mixed breed. Temperament: Playful and spunky, the Yo-Chon is a temperate and social companion. Their spunky temperament and liveliness with children and other pets make them a great addition to the family. Yo-Chons are very smart and can pick up simple obedience tasks easily. Like most hybrid breed dogs, Yo-Chon are healthy, vigorous and won't exhibit any of the congenital defects from often seen from pure breeds and inbreeding. Yo-Chon Health: Yo-Chons are non-shedding. They also have a full coat. Many owners have their Yo-Chons trimmed regularly by a professional groomer to keep the hair from matting. This mix needs the occasional brushing to keep the coat clean. Bathe as necessary, but not often. Yo-Chon Care & Grooming: As a hybrid breed, their history is short. Generally, Yo-Chon breeders and breeders of other hybrid breeds aim to breed one generation of Yo-Chon from purebred Yorkshire Terrier and Bichon Frise parents. This is to take advantage of hybrid igor and the Heterosis effect which results in a healthier, more vigorous dog with a reduced chance of genetic disease. Pure breeds and inbreeds often carry genetic disease. Heterosis is the phenomenon where crossing two inbred lines can yield a progeny with superior genetic constitution. This increased health and vigor does not create a superior breed, but the advantages obtained from it is what produces hybrid vigor. This goal in this scenario is not to create a new breed, but to create a happy and healthy pet. The Yo-Chon breed is only recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club. |
