Teddy Bear
If you're looking for a charming and affectionate companion, the Teddy Bear might just be the perfect fit for your family. This delightful breed, a cross between a Bichon Frise and a Shih Tzu, is known for its adorable teddy bear-like appearance and friendly disposition. Ideal for families with kids, these small dogs are playful yet gentle, making them great playmates for young ones. Their sociable nature extends to other pets as well, as they generally get along well with both dogs and cats.
Teddy Bears possess a medium energy level, so while they enjoy playful romp sessions, they can also snuggle up for some quiet time on the couch. Daily walks or playtime in the yard will keep them happy and healthy, striking a nice balance for apartment dwellers. They are remarkably adaptable, which means they thrive in various living situations. Their grooming needs are manageable, with weekly brushings to keep their fluffy coats looking their best while minimizing shedding.
When it comes to training, Teddy Bears are intelligent and eager to please, making them relatively easy to train. Their mild barking tendency ensures a calm household, allowing you to enjoy both their company and the peace of your home. They are known for forming strong bonds with their humans, showering them with love and loyalty. If you are ready to welcome a furry friend into your life, consider visiting Petland Ashland, Kentucky to meet these enchanting companions.

History
The Teddy Bear dog, also known as a Zuchon, is crossbred from Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise parents. A combination of caring, loving, gentle, and quick-witted, this breed is a very well-liked dog. Teddy Bears are a relatively new breed of dog that got its start in the 1990s in the United States. To better understand this breed, you should first understand the origin of its parents. The Shih Tzu is of Chinese origin and was bred for decadent Chinese emperors. This breed is known for its loyal personality and ability to form a strong bond with his family. Due to this they make terrific family pets. The Teddy Bear was registered by the American Kennel Club in 1969 and has been a favorite toy breed of Americans for decades. The Bichon Frise originated on the Canary Islands. They became popular with European royalty sometime in the 13th century. While the French Revolution was taking place, many of these dogs found themselves living homeless on the street. Thanks to their unique trainability and approachable disposition, they quickly gained popularity with street performers who used them to entertain citizen onlookers.

Grooming

Their coats come in a range of beautiful colors such as gray, black, white, tan, and cream. Daily coat brushing is a great way to keep his coat looking and feeling its best. A weekly or bi-weekly bath will keep this dog looking sharp. Never forget to keep nail clipping and teeth cleaning a part of his routine.
Care
Teddy Bear pups do best being fed three times a day for the first six months of their life. This early stage in their life is essential for both physical growth and mental development.
