The Shichon, also known as the Teddy Bear dog, is a hybrid breed of dog that is created by crossing a Shih Tzu with a Bichon Frise. These dogs are known for their small size, playful personality, and fluffy, hypoallergenic coat. Shichons are generally good with children and other pets, and they are known for their friendly, affectionate nature.

Shichons are generally intelligent and easily trained, but they can be stubborn and may require consistent, patient training and socialization to become well-behaved pets. They are also known for their playful, energetic nature and need regular exercise to stay healthy and happy.

Shichons have a medium-length, fluffy coat that is typically white, cream, or black in colour. They are generally easy to groom, with a coat that requires regular brushing to prevent tangles and matting, and they are known to shed minimally, making them a good choice for people with allergies. Shichons are generally healthy and long-lived, with a lifespan of 12-15 years. They can be prone to certain health issues such as hip dysplasia and other joint problems, as well as certain eye conditions, so it’s important to work with a reputable breeder and keep up with regular vet check-ups. With proper care and training, the Shichon can make a loving and loyal companion for the right family.
