Look at me! I am a Teddy Bear puppy! My Mom is a Teddy Bear named Tilly. My Dad is a Shih-Tzu named Sparky. I was born on January 14th and I will be ready for my forever home on March 11th! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and dewormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Wilma Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
I will come with my vet and shot/dewormer records and some of my current food, Royal Canin Dry Food, and a toy or blankie.
We would be happy to help you with setting up transportation and shipping of your puppy if needed at an additional cost.
Teddy Bears are very aptly named as they look like little teddy bears. They are a mix of a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise. Though they are commonly known as Teddy Bears they can be found by other names as well, Shichon, and Zuchon. They were specifically bred decades ago, most likely in the United States, to blend the unique characteristics of each breed. The Shih Tzu with its smaller size and the Bichon Frise with its delightful personality. Teddy Bears make great therapy dogs due to their innate ability to sense those in pain whether physical or emotional. They are winsome, lovable, smart, and friendly. This cuddly breed would be beneficial to a senior due to its need for companionship. Teddy Bears are easy going and can get along with children, other pets, and strangers.
They are fine living in apartments granted that they do get some exercise to keep from gaining weight. They usually do not have a tendency to bark, but make great watch dogs regardless.
They are normally between 9-12 inches high, and usually weigh between 9-15 pounds. They come in a variety of colors such as chocolate, cream, gray, black/white mix, brown/mix, with assorted markings.
