if your going to be that stingy buying a puppy then u dont deserve to own a dog. What are you going to do when it needs expensive medical treatment because it is a poorly bred mongrel with all sorts of problems. Crossing 2 breeds oftenn brings out the worst in both breeds. There is enough purebred dogs for every possible need so there is no need to cross breed. Designer dogs come from puppy mills and backyard breeders who are only concerned about money and treat their dogs like crap. whats wrong with a purebreed mini poodle or a purebreed bichon frise from a registered breeder. You want a healthy dog dont you? then go to a registered breeder. There is so such breed as a bichapoo its a stupid marketing ploy to suck silly people like you in. Dont even think about breeding because you obviously dont know much about dogs and there is no excuse for breeding x breeds.

The only way you will find that dog for under $200 is at a humane society. People who are making "designer dogs" or fancy mutts prefer to charge $500+ for their dogs and sadly the demand is there to keep the prices high. Good Luck!!! Hopefully the humane society has what you are looking for!

With that price range, hit the shelters.
Most of these will be under $200, I would hope, but keep in mind all the other costs dogs have. Grooming, food, vetting... it gets expensive FAST.

It looks like you'll have to drive a ways for a Bichon/Poodle mix, but it could be worth your while. Visit your local shelters. You may see all the things you love about this cross in another dog. Who knows?

YOu should check your local animal shelter. There are plenty of adorable animals waiting for a loving family to adopt. They are very inexpensive and they come with a free vet exam and shots! and if your not satisfied with your dog's behavior or health problems you can take it back and get another one! Good luck!!

If you're concerned about price, are you prepared to pay for grooming??? I groom in Oklahoma and even here we charge 50-60 bucks for a bichon or bichon mix. Research and be prepared before you buy.

if its cheaper than 200 i can guarantee its bad quality.so if you want a dog that will live a long healthy life pay at least 400.and most bichapoos are more expensive than that

No such breed, but if you want that cross of bichon and poodle, go to both bichon rescue and poodle rescue and see if they have a mix like that.
