Teddy Bear Breed Info
Tiny, fluffy, and completely charming Teddy Bear puppies bring new meaning to love at first sight. These little toy dogs are happy, playful, and as cuddly as can be. They love to impress their owners with cute tricks and stunts, and are entirely devoted to making their human family happy. Teddy Bear puppies adore being involved in every family activity, and are quite fond of games, cuddles, and training.
Teddy Bear puppies, sometimes referred to as the Zuchon or Shichon, are a designer breed that is typically a cross between the Shih Tzu and the Bichon Frise (Teddy Bear Shichon) or a mix between the Shih Tzu and the Maltese (the Teddy Bear Mal-Shi).
With their petite stature, soft and cuddly coats, and their cute round faces, they are truly teddy bears in appearance.
