The Shichon is a cross between the Bichon Frise, Shih-Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier, Lhasa Apso and the Miniature Schnauzer. Dawn Littlefield developed the Shichon to be utilized in her pet therapy program for her non-profit organization called the Heaven in the Heartland. The program combines mentally handicapped and terminally ill children with rescue dogs. Naturally, this breed is wonderful with children and easy to train.
