Teddy Bear Breed Overview

Find the Perfect Teddy Bear Puppy for Your Family!

The "Teddy Bear dog" isn't a single purebred, but a popular name for small, hybrid dogs (often Shih Tzu, Bichon Frise, or Poodle mixes) bred for their fluffy, cuddly appearance and gentle nature. They typically weigh 6-18 pounds with soft, wavy to curly, low-shedding coats, making them appealing for allergy sufferers.

These dogs are known for being affectionate, intelligent, friendly, and adaptable, thriving on companionship and fitting well into various homes. Despite their size, they're playful and need moderate exercise. Their high-maintenance coat requires daily brushing and regular professional grooming to prevent matting, along with diligent ear and dental care. With a lifespan of 12-16 years, they can be prone to health issues from their parent breeds, making reputable breeding important. Overall, they're ideal for those seeking a devoted, intelligent, and cuddly small companion.
