How about a real life Teddy Bear?
Apr 13
For part two of our deciding on a puppy series, we are talking about a new “designer” breed called Teddy Bear puppies. We look forward to sharing this adorable dog with you.
Teddy Bear puppies are not a strictly purebred breed, but are a hybrid of two or three purebred breeds, specifically a Shih Tzu, Toy Poodle, and Bichon Frise. While any combination can be called a Teddy Bear, they do have official names. A cross between a Shih Tzu and a Toy Poodle is a Shih Poo, a Bichon Frise and Toy Poodle cross is a Poochon, and a Bichon Frise and Shih Tzu mix is a Zuchon. The most commonly bred type is the Zuchon.

They are small and fluffy with flat faces. Their adult size is about 12 inches tall and they are about 5-8 lbs.
