From Puppy Love to Lifetime Friendship

Teddy Bear

Our Shichons or Teddy Bear pups are a designer dog breed that is a cross between Mom Ellie and Shih-Tzu and Dad Archie a Bichon Frise. Our pups average in the 15-20lb range as adults. This mix is an adorable companion dog that would excel as a therapy dog with the best traits of both of the parent breeds.

Although a mixed-breed dog can inherit any combination of traits from their parents, a Teddy Bear puppy tends to be a small dog with a hypoallergenic coat and a gentle, friendly, and affectionate disposition. They’re called a Teddy Bear because they look like a living stuffed animal! They are a true companion that loves cuddles and attention from their humans, has a plush coat, and also maintains a puppy-like appearance for life.

Shitzus love nothing more than being around their favorite humans; the same is true for the Shichon. These pups love nothing more than to be with their favorite human. Both of the parent breeds of the Teddy Bear are loyal and devoted to their families and this little cotton ball is no different. Because they are happiest when they are with you, they don’t like to be left alone for long periods of time. So they do very well with another puppy in the home.

Shichon puppies are bred for their stature, weight, and calm temperament. They were also bred for their patience. They are very compassionate and tolerant animals who will be more than happy to cuddle up and watch a movie after a long day. These traits, plus their open and friendly personality, make them a great fit for being a therapy dog and they can often be found working in this capacity. In fact, that was their original purpose!

Teddy Bear dogs joined the canine world around the year 2000 and initially served as therapy dogs for children with disabilities. As a therapy dog or an emotional support dog, these mellow, sweet dogs can be the perfect companion and can be a big help to their owner. Overall the joyful, adorable Teddy bear pup is a joy to add to one’s family.
