All of the information provided below has been added by people who are familiar with the Wee-Chon breed.

General Description
The wee/chon is a very independant and active pet who looks to please and is very affectionate. Wee/chons are very loyal, obediant and very easily trained. They are also mild shedding dogs.
As they are terriers they enjoy being able to dig and having long grass to play in.
Character
Wee-Chon's have a very good temperament and a very fond of children, even babies. They can get aggressive when they are around larger dogs as they feel they have to do this to compensate for their size. Wee-Chon's most definatly do not get on with cats and would prefer to be homed without any other pets.
Wee-Chons are known to be great with cats. Some believe that this is because they resemble cats. Of coarse each dog is diffrent.
Size
As Westie's and Bichon's are reletively the same size, a Wee-Chon will not differ much from that.
Weight
These dogs should weigh between 8 and 10 kilos. You should be able to feel the outline of their ribs on their chest, but not too prominantly.
General Health
As Wee-chon's are pale skinned they are suseptible to skin conditions such as dermantitus. this can be very expensive for the owner. However, as a cross breed they are less likely to get the heart problems that are inherant in Westie's.
History
Wee Chons if properly trained are very well behaved. Once properly socialized they do great with other dogs and children.
Maintenance
Wee chons can have the coat of a westie or a bichon, and may need to be groomed every 12 weeks. The have to be brushed everyday as their coat is prone to matting.
Ideal Environment
A wee-chon can live in almost any environment provided it has at least two walks a day. These are NOT lap dogs and they really need to be walked. They also like an area in which they can dig, and they prefer to sleep in the same room as their master, or else they might whine at night. They like to have toys to occupy them during the day if they are left alone, but they are quite happy to be alone while their owner is at work.
