A Look At Shichon Teddy Bear Puppies For Sale

By Anita Ortega


Designer puppies are all the rage these days because they are specifically bred to highlight the best of two or more breeds of dog. The come in all sizes but the most popular ones are small and weigh less than twenty pounds. The Shichon Teddy Bear puppies for sale have proven to be a very good option for many people who want a smaller dog that fits well into families.

This breed is a blend of two small, well behaved dogs that are popular in their own arenas. The Bichon Frise and the Shih Tzu have very sweet and loving dispositions and are loyal companions for individuals or families. They are highly intelligent and easily trained because of their eagerness to please their people.

In addition to their sweet dispositions the dogs are said to be hypoallergenic because their coats are hair rather than fur like most dogs. They do not shed and do not have the dander that causes allergic reactions in many people. Their size makes them good candidates for apartment dwellers, seniors and children.

These are indoor dogs and do not fare well if kept outside. They get along with younger children because they react better to rough treatment should the child become overly exuberant. Another feature that pleases seniors is that they can get ample exercise by themselves and truly enjoy spending time with their humans doing nothing for hours.

These dogs do require daily maintenance such as brushing. Because their hair never stops growing they can become matted if not brushed and groomed regularly. They will also need bathing at least twice a month to keep their coats fluffy and glossy. Most owners begin the brushing and bathing processes when the pup is young because it creates a routine that the dog learns to enjoy.

Breeders of these dogs are very proud of them and usually house them inside when they are born. They keep them until they are eight to ten weeks old and most socialize them as they mature to the point of weaning. During this time some breeders will have the dew claws removed from the front legs. This is not a "must do" action but can diminish the possibility of scratches to humans and injury to the dog if hooked and torn from the leg later in life.

Another thing the breeders will take care of is the initial round of puppy shots and worming. They can get worms from their mothers and it is wise to have this taken care of early. A certificate of health is also provided for you from the breeders vet. Once you have your puppy it becomes your responsibility to finish getting the rest of their shots and care.

If you are seriously considering the purchase of a pet for you and your family this breed is an excellent option to consider. These dogs are reputed to be smart, loving and energetic. They also have the capacity to entertain themselves and are eager to please their humans. Being easy to train and just as happy sitting on your lap as romping around the yard they can be just the breed of puppy you will want.
