What Teddy Bear Families Are Saying
Real reviews from families who welcomed a Teddy Bear puppy from Boundless Horizon Puppies.
What Is a Teddy Bear Puppy?
The Teddy Bear, also called a Shichon or Zuchon, is a designer crossbreed created by pairing a Shih Tzu with a Bichon Frise. The breed gets its name from its genuinely stuffed-animal appearance: round expressive eyes, a soft dense coat, and a compact frame that stays between 9 and 15 pounds throughout adulthood.
Of our three active breeds, the Teddy Bear is the most settled in temperament and the most consistent in daily care requirements. It stays reliably compact, and its defined daily routine of dental care and eye cleaning rewards buyers who prefer structured, predictable care.
True Teddy Bear Appearance
The Shih Tzu x Bichon cross produces the breed’s signature round-faced, plush-coated look, reliably consistent across litters.
Calm, Devoted Temperament
Settled and gentle. Excellent for seniors, quieter households, and families wanting a lap companion with minimal exercise demands.
Low-Shedding Coat
Both parent breeds contribute low-shedding genetics, making the Teddy Bear allergy-friendly for most households.
Nationwide Delivery Available
Private climate-controlled vehicle delivery nationwide, with dedicated service across OH, MI, IN, KY, WV, PA, and FL. Safe, stress-free transport for your puppy.
Why Families Choose Boundless Horizon Puppies
When you’re searching for a Teddy Bear puppy, the range of options is wide. Here’s what makes our program different.
Family Home Raised: Every Puppy
Every Teddy Bear we place comes from a family home within our vetted network of home raisers. We work exclusively with families who raise litters in their living spaces, surrounded by the daily sights, sounds, and routines of home life. The critical socialization window is 3 to 12 weeks, almost entirely before your puppy comes home. What happens in that window shapes behavior for life. We require our home raisers to meet our socialization standards, not just health testing standards.
ENS Training: Days 3 Through 16
Every puppy in our program receives the complete Early Neurological Stimulation protocol: five specific exercises, administered individually each day, from day 3 through day 16. The method traces back to Dr. Carmen Battaglia’s 1970s U.S. military “Bio Sensor” research. The science on ENS is genuinely mixed rather than settled, but many raisers and owners report calmer, more adaptable puppies as a result, which matters for the Teddy Bear’s devoted, people-attached temperament, since deeply bonded small dogs can feel the move to a new home more acutely.
Health-Tested Parents: Documentation Available
Parent dogs are evaluated for the conditions that matter most in Shichon breeding: patella evaluations, OFA eye certifications, and DNA panels for breed-specific genetic conditions. We provide documentation before you place a deposit, not after.

Teddy Bear vs Our Other Breeds
All three of our active breeds are low-shedding family companions, and all three make wonderful pets. Here’s how the Teddy Bear compares to help you find the right fit for your household.
Teddy Bear vs Cavapoo
The Cavapoo tends to be slightly more active and can grow larger, 8 to 25 pounds depending on the Poodle parent, which makes it a strong choice for families who want a playful companion with a bit more energy. The Teddy Bear stays reliably compact and settled. Both are excellent family dogs; the difference is mostly activity level and adult size predictability.
Teddy Bear vs Maltipoo
Maltipoos are typically more compact (5 to 15 lbs) and slightly more active. The Teddy Bear’s Shih Tzu side produces a distinctly calmer, more settled temperament that suits seniors and quieter households particularly well. Both have allergy-friendly coats, though the Teddy Bear’s denser coat benefits from more consistent daily brushing.
The Teddy Bear’s Defining Strength
Of our three breeds, the Teddy Bear is the calmest and most predictable: a cuddly, low-demand companion that looks like a stuffed animal and settles into a household routine quickly. If that’s what you’re picturing, the Teddy Bear is the natural choice.
Frequently Asked Questions About Teddy Bear Puppies
What is a Teddy Bear puppy?
A Teddy Bear puppy is a Shichon, a cross between a Shih Tzu and a Bichon Frise. The breed gets its name from its round-faced, plush-coated appearance. At 9 to 15 pounds fully grown, they’re a compact, settled companion breed suited to a wide range of households.
Are Teddy Bears hypoallergenic?
Teddy Bears are low-shedding and allergy-friendly for most households. Both parent breeds contribute low-dander coat genetics. No dog is 100% hypoallergenic, but the Teddy Bear is among the better options for households with mild allergy sensitivity.
How much do Teddy Bear puppies cost?
Our Teddy Bear puppies range from $1,200 to $2,200 depending on color, markings, and parent lineage. A $200 refundable deposit holds your puppy. Every puppy includes ENS training, a 2-year written health guarantee, vaccinations, microchip, and 30 days Trupanion pet insurance.
How big do Teddy Bears get?
Adult Teddy Bears typically weigh 9 to 15 pounds and stand 9 to 12 inches tall at the shoulder. They reach full adult size around 10 to 12 months. Their size is consistent and predictable, a meaningful advantage over breeds where adult size varies significantly.
Do Teddy Bears shed?
Minimal shedding. Both the Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise are low-shedding breeds. Daily brushing and professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks keeps the coat soft and mat-free.
Are Teddy Bears good with kids?
Yes. The Teddy Bear’s settled, gentle temperament is one of its strongest characteristics. The Shih Tzu was developed as a companion breed: patient, calm, and forgiving. That carries into the Shichon. Supervision with young children is always recommended with small dogs.
What daily care does a Teddy Bear require?
Daily dental brushing and daily eye cleaning are the two care requirements specific to this breed. The Shih Tzu parent is prone to dental disease and eye irritation, so these are breed health fundamentals rather than optional habits. In every other respect, the Teddy Bear is a genuinely easy, low-demand companion.
