Chacy Ranior (schichon)

The Chacy Ranior was known as the schichon up until 2005.

It is developed from many breeds: Bichon Frise, Havanese, Lhasa Apso, Maltese, Poodle, Shih-Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier,  Miniature Schnauzer.

As you can see it is usually considered a cute fluffy dog. Its personality traits are that it is stable, playful, alert, smart and curious. As long as they are trained and exercised they make an excellent family pet. Like many small dogs, they will soon try an take over the leadership role in the house if not trained, and will end up with small dog syndrome (dominance, barking, food guarding etc).

There speed and agility has made them rank high in agility trials.

Its intelligence and other aspects means that they only respond to positive reward training – not negative or physical abuse. If handled harshly they can become aggressive or withdrawn. Without proper training they can also become nuisance barkers, which is originally intended to alert owners to threats of property.

They love to play and are very active requiring considerable exercise.
