Bostchon

The Bostchon’s parent breed, the Bichon Frise, was bred from Water or “Barbet” Spaniels and Poodles around the 12th century as Spanish sailing dogs. It follows that the name "Barbichon" was derived, which was later shortened to "Bichon”. Only later did this breed became a popular lap dog for French and Italian royalty (though it is often portrayed as inherently French). In the 1930s, the foremost canine authority in France drew up standards, dividing the breed into two varieties: the "Teneriffe" and "Bichon." The add-on "Frise" was then proposed to describe the Bichon’s notably curly and soft coat. The first litter of American Bichon Frises were born in the mid-1900s and the breed was later recognized by the AKC in 1972. The Boston Terrier is a popular breed in America. With roots in England, this canine is named after the Massachusetts city of Boston. Brought to Boston in 1865, this canine was bred with various other dogs of undetermined origin to make the cute Terrier of today. He was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1893. The Bostchon was likely bred in the mid-century, but only recently has it started to be recognized as a designer hybrid. Its personality and appearance hasn’t stabilized, but it is generally known to be energetic, playful, and stubborn.
