🐾 What is a Teddy Bear Puppy?

A Teddy Bear puppy, also called a Shichon or Zuchon, is a designer breed cross between a purebred Shih Tzu and a purebred Bichon Frise. These adorable puppies combine the best traits of both parent breeds: the affectionate, loyal nature of the Shih Tzu with the playful, hypoallergenic coat of the Bichon Frise. The result is a small, cuddly companion that looks just like a living teddy bear!
