can any one point me in the right direction?
im after purchaseing a Shichon but i dont want to have to try and import one from america?

Have to have a search to find out what it is, so I don't think it is available in the UK. Mind you I could be wrong it has been known. Jackie H

I hadn't ever heard of this cross breed , so I went for a google ;) I found the Shichon Club of America page .....founded only 2 years ago.

This is a description :

The Shichon is being developed from the Bichon Frise, Shih-Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier, Lhasa Apso and the Miniature Schnauzer. The Shichon is a culmination of the best of the best and is the ultimate companion dog made with families that have children in mind.

The operative word seems to be BEING developed , so it appears to be an ongoing thing

I don't know of anyone who has these dogs in this country ..someone else may do

Thanks Mel saved me the trouble looking - yet another designer dog. Why can't people find what they want in a breed thats already available, one would think there were enough to chose from. It will be years before these crosses become reliable and breed to type. Sorry have no objection to the breeding of crosses for some good reason, but can't see the reason for this one, after all how can you make a perfect dog for families with childern are all such families the same with the same requirements, they would have to be to make such a production line dog possible.

You put it far more succinctly than I ever could :D

Thanks Mel, I'll probably get told off but I just cant help seeing red, anyone would think there were not enough cross breeds around, why do we have to create more. Jackie H

Each to his or her own I s'pose Jackie ... *shrug* We are lucky to have looked long and hard and found what we are looking for ..maybe the guest hasn't?

:)

Not getting at the Guest they have probable seen the web site and taken a fancy, that I can understand, it's the jump on the gravy train breeders that I'm grumbling about. JH
