Bichon Frise Pekingese Mix Temperament and Personality
The Bichon Frise Pekingese Mix temperament, while sweet, has aspects to it that may make him a not-so-ideal dog for everyone.
He’s a Barker
If excessive barking drives you crazy, then you may not be a huge fan of the Peke-a-Chon.
This is a dog who loves to hear himself bark.
While this may annoy your neighbors, especially if you live in an apartment, this trait actually makes the Peke-a-Chon a fantastic watchdog.
Though, while it definitely has its good sides, you should still teach your Peke-a-Chon that there is a time and place for barking.
He Loves You…to a Fault
The Peke-a-Chon loves his owners so much that he can’t stand to be away from them for too long.
While this may sound adorable, it can also be downright frustrating when your dog develops separation anxiety.
And, unfortunately, separation anxiety tends to be fairly common for shelter dogs.
When you leave a Peke-a-Chon alone for too long, he may fear you’ll never return.
Unsure of what else to do with this energy, he may take it out on your possessions, or bark to help himself feel better.
If you spend a good deal of each day out of the house, then this arrangement sadly won’t work.
He May Not Be Great with Littler Kids
If your Peke-a-Chon takes after his Bichon parent more, then you have nothing to worry about – Bichons love everybody.
However, Pekingese are not normally fans of younger children.
So, if you have younger kids, you should get to know the dog you want to adopt before you ultimately decide to bring him home.
