Things I recommend for the Teddybears
The TeddyBear dog is a new breed of "designer dog" that was first introduced at the start of the new millennium. Also known as the Zuchon or Shichon, this dog has earned its place as one of the cutest companion dogs.
- Teddy bear puppies are small in stature, and they remain small even into adulthood, growing to a height of approximately 12 inches. They weigh a light 12 to 14 pounds as adult dogs.
- The breed sports a soft, fluffy coat that doesn't shed like most dog breeds. It can be clipped short into a "puppy cut" or left long.
- These dogs have round faces with squashed muzzles and large, endearing eyes, earning them their namesake. They also have medium-length droopy ears and short, fluffy tails.
- Their coat can come in virtually any colour, giving each dog its own uniqueness that isn't usually seen in other companion breeds such as the Bichon Frise.
- They are eager to please and intelligent, making them ideal to train.
- This breed loves the company of their human pack, unlike some of the more independent small dog breeds.
- Teddy bear dogs tend to be less vocal than other small dogs. They will still let you know if there's a visitor, but they aren't usually nuisance barkers.
- Teddy bear puppies are brachycephalic (short-muzzled) dogs, which means that breathing problems or sensitivity to high temperatures may be an issue.
- Cleaning the dog's ears on a semi-regular basis may be required to prevent a buildup of grime and dirt.
- It is important not to neglect this dog's coat. Regular brushing and the occasional trim is required to keep this breed's coat in top shape. A neglected coat can become matted, leading to painful hot spots on your dog.
- For families with allergies, this dog is ideal. Not only does the breed not shed its coat, but it is also very low in dander, making it very hypoallergenic.
