Teddy Bear puppies are a cross between the Shihtzu and Bichon Frise. They are really soft and fluffy. The cross breed does not have the flat face of a full blooded Shihtzu They are family raised and very friendly, hypoallergenic and no shed they are great couch potato type puppies who do not need a lot of running activity like your big dogs do. They do need to be groomed every 8-10 weeks and of course they need to be kept up to date on their vaccines
