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, adopt a Teddy Bear puppy at Windy City Pups.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Big Do Teddy Bear Dogs Get? Teddy Bear Dogs, a hybrid mix often created by crossing a Shih Tzu with either a Maltese or a Bichon Frise, typically reach an adult height of 9 to 12 inches at the shoulder. Their small, compact build gives them a charming appearance, making them perfect for those seeking a cuddly, manageable companion that fits well in apartments or smaller living spaces.

How Much Do Teddy Bear Dogs Weigh? Adult Teddy Bear Dogs generally weigh between 6 to 14 pounds. Their light frame makes them easy to handle and ideal for those looking for a small, affectionate lap dog. Despite their small size, Teddy Bear Dogs often carry a sturdy build, allowing them to enjoy playtime and gentle activities with their family.

Do Teddy Bear Dogs Shed? Teddy Bear Dogs are known for minimal shedding. Thanks to their low-shedding coat, often inherited from both the Shih Tzu and Bichon or Maltese parent, they’re an excellent choice for those looking to reduce pet hair around the house. Regular grooming and brushing help maintain their soft, fluffy coat, preventing matting and enhancing its natural charm.

Are Teddy Bear Dogs Hypoallergenic? Yes, Teddy Bear Dogs are typically considered hypoallergenic due to their low-shedding coats. This makes them a popular option for individuals with mild pet allergies. Regular grooming and maintenance are key to keeping their coat allergen-free, and brushing helps further reduce dander.

How Long Do Teddy Bear Dogs Live? Teddy Bear Dogs generally have a life expectancy of 12 to 14 years. With good care, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and routine veterinary visits, many Teddy Bear Dogs live long, happy lives. They tend to remain active and playful well into their senior years, bringing joy to their families for a significant amount of time.

Are Teddy Bear Dogs Good with Children? Yes, Teddy Bear Dogs are known for their affectionate, playful, and outgoing personalities, making them wonderful companions for families with children. They are typically gentle and enjoy being part of family activities. However, due to their small size, supervision with very young children is recommended to ensure they are handled gently and safely.

Are Teddy Bear Puppies Easy to Train? Teddy Bear puppies are responsive and intelligent, often making training sessions enjoyable and productive. They have a natural eagerness to please and a quick learning ability, which makes them receptive to positive reinforcement methods like treats and praise. Their sociable, friendly temperament also makes them excellent candidates for early socialization and obedience training.

Teddy Bear Breed Info

Teddy Bear Breed Info

The Shichon and Mal-shi, also known as "teddy bear dogs," are two popular crossbreeds that have become increasingly popular in recent years. These adorable designer breeds are a mix between a Bichon Frise and a Shih Tzu or a Maltese and a Shih Tzu, resulting in a small, fluffy, and affectionate companion that many people adore. 

The Shichon, also known as the Zuchon or Teddy Bear, typically weighs between 10-15 pounds and has a soft, curly coat that requires regular grooming. They are known for their playful and friendly temperament, making them a great choice for families with children or seniors looking for a loyal companion. 

The Mal-shi, on the other hand, is a slightly smaller breed, weighing in at around 6-10 pounds. They have a straight, silky coat that also requires regular grooming. Mal-shis are known for being gentle and affectionate, making them an ideal choice for apartment living or for individuals who are looking for a lap dog. 

Both the Shichon and Mal-shi are loving and devoted pets that make great companions. They are easy to train, enjoy spending time with their families, and have a reputation for being great with children and other pets. If you are looking for a loyal, affectionate, and low-maintenance companion, the Shichon or Mal-shi may be the perfect breed for you.
