Look at me! I am a Teddy Bear puppy! I was born on October 11th and I will be ready for my forever home on December 6th! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country. I have had my shots and de-wormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Dennis Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
Teddy Bears are very aptly named as they look like little teddy bears. They are a mix of a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise. Teddy Bears make great therapy dogs due to their innate ability to sense those in pain whether physical or emotional. This cuddly breed would be beneficial to a senior due to its need for companionship. Teddy Bears are easy going and can get along with children, other pets, and strangers. However, due to its smaller size they can easily get injured if handled improperly. Therefore, it is necessary to have an adult present when the dog is with children. The breed also does best with other pets when raised with them. They do need to have someone around or they can suffer from separation anxiety. They are fine living in apartments granted that they do get some exercise to keep from gaining weight. They usually do not have a tendency to bark, but make great watch dogs regardless. This energetic breed can be playful and yet cuddly. They are not a drooling breed, or a chewer, and are great for those with allergies. They are also easy to groom with their soft fur, but brushing needs to be done on a daily basis. They also need to have their eyes and ears checked daily due to having a long coat. Teddy Bears also need regular dental care due to their smaller muzzle. They do not do well in extreme temperatures whether heat or cold, as they can experience respiratory distress if unable to breathe properly. They are normally between 9-12 inches high, and usually weigh between 9-15 pounds.
