Teddy Bear Puppies

Affectionate ~ Independent ~ Intelligent ~ Loving ~ Out-Going ~ Playful

A teddy bear in both appearance and personality, this puppy is one of the cuddliest dog breeds around. Teddy Bear puppies can be one of two breeds. They can be the Shichon breed, which is a mix between a Shih Tzu and a Bichon Frise, or they can be the Mal-Shi, a Maltese and Shih Tzu mix. Both the Shichon (Zuchon) and the Mal-Shi are amazing companion pets. They love everyone equally and make the truest friends. They are hypoallergenic and small enough to fit in a purse. If you’re looking for a sweet fur baby to call your own, reserve a Teddy Bear puppy at Windy City Pups.
