Advantages: Dog with the traits of two breeds

Disadvantages: Can be difficult to research

We were looking for a small dog, as we only have a small 2 bedroomed house. We liked the shih tzu but as my dad has a bichon fraise we liked the characteristics that she had, after lots of research we found a cross between the two, alot of people advised us against a cross breed due to illness etc, but we went to a proper breeder and bought a male puppy. He is a very strong and healthy little dog, who got a good medical report from the vet. I think that with cross breeds you get a good mix of both dogs and they develop their own little characteristics. The only problem with this being that when my puppy was and still is training you don't know which breed to train him by. With a cross breed you can not be registered with the kennel club but if its the dog you love who's bothered about that, as long as you do your research first and find a good breeder all should be well, in my experience it has been.

Summary: research first before you get one.
