About Our Teddy Bear Parent's & Their Puppies
Decades of experience in creating the ultimate happy, healthy, trained Teddy Bear puppy companions!
To have the best dog possible, they must first be a great puppy born from an amazing set of parents with an experienced, knowledgeable, loving human and dog squad support system! There is nothing like the little pitter-patter of their feet following closely behind us. We do all the "extras" to provide the very best of the best in your companion with a solid platform to continue building on.
There is a tremendous value in our heart and soul dedication to creating healthy, happy intelligent Teddy Bear puppies that are beyond gorgeous inside and out. Our training and puppy methods make a distinct difference in the dog you plan to spend your future years with. We have invested decades in progressing our Tiny Teddys toward the standard for which the Shichon or Zuchon, a Shih-Tzu Bichon Hybrid, will be loved and known.
A vast expense is involved in raising our quality puppies properly. We are fully committed to our dogs and their puppies. Our adults and their puppies have our complete commitment to ensuring each puppy is loved, adored and nurtured, neurologically stimulated, enriched, well adjusted and healthy. Our puppies are raised on lap and underfoot, with age-appropriate training and socialization to ensure they are the ideal companion. This hands-on technique requires an immensely personal and financial obligation; it is extensive but enriching. They are, indeed, our most exceptional pride and joy.
Raising our puppies
Our life, home and property are designed around our dogs and their puppies for optimum enjoyment!
Our home is their playground! We take the time to get to know each puppy, and we are always happy to help you in the choosing process.
The puppy nursery is centrally located in the heart of our home, as is the safe place set up for the older puppies when they can't be directly watched. As our puppies achieve various levels of trust, they earn a free run of the house and property, enjoying toys, treats, toy boxes and play centers indoors and out as they please, depending, of course, on the ages of the puppies.
Our Zuchons have sweet, loving easy-going dispositions, making them the perfect choice for children, companionship, and other pets. Their absence of prey drive makes them uniquely gentle and kind to all living things. Their unique high intelligence allows them to quickly pick up and retain hundreds of different words and commands, with an uncanny ability to read their people's emotions, mannerisms, and body language on a higher level than other breeds. Making one of the best and most sought-after dogs for future therapy, service and emotional support needs and more.
Litter box & pee pad trained
Be free to enjoy your puppy, rather than clean up messes!
As part of our successful Tiny Teddie's puppy rearing approach, we both litter box train and pee pad train our puppies to expand your options. We start their litter box training at four weeks, and it works like a dream for immediate and long term use, house training, travelling etc. The litter we use is earth-friendly and biodegradable and doesn't resemble anything else in your home, discouraging accidents. So when your free to just enjoy your puppy. Our puppies are also familiar with pee pads for use in carrying bags, crate training, during flights and road trips etc.

Summary of our Teddy Bear Zuchons
Please see our Zuchon Breed Info page for more complete details
Appearance - Teddy bear Zuchons are a small breed with an adorable lifelong Teddy Bear appearance consisting of the originating breeds of strickly the Bichon and Shih Tzu only. Zuchons can range in weight from 5 to 18 pounds as adult dogs. Our Teddy Bear Zuchons are typically around 11 to 12 pounds. Their coats are luxuriously soft with fluffy hair like fur that doesn't shed like most dog breeds and considered to be hypo-allergenic like their originating breeds. They come in a variety of incredibly gorgeous colours from black & white, white tri-colour & brown tri-colour to the more rare reds & blacks. We also have the uber-rare and unique green eye beauties and chocolate colour coats and noses. Their hair can be clipped short into a "puppy cut" or "teddy bear cut" or left long and flowing, with top knots and bows. Their faces look like little teddy bears and Ewoks throughout their lifetime. They have round faces with shorter muzzles on some, a little longer nose on others and large beautiful endearing eyes, earning them their teddy bear namesake along with their calm, patient, happy-go-lucky temperaments. Our Zuchons are multi-generational, which makes a distinctive difference. We have been continuously working on and improving our line for decades, to create the breed standard Zuchons will be known by. This also means they no longer tend to have any of the issues of their purebred ancestors. For example, our Zuchons have more athletic builds with longer stronger legs, stronger bones with larger joints & tendons and deeper sockets compared to the Bichon and the Shih-Tzu as well as longer noses, larger stronger teeth and deeper eye sockets rather than the flatter face and bulgy eyes of the Shih-Tzu
Temperament - Zuchons are eager to please, attentive, cuddly, loving and extremely intelligent, making them ideal to for training. They love the company of their human pack, unlike some of the more independent small dog breeds. They also tend to be way less vocal than other small dogs. They will let you know if there's a visitor, but they aren't nuisance barkers. Their patient happy go lucky temperament makes them ideal for children and people of all ages and types. They are extremely playful little comedians they will play with every toy you get them and live to entertain you all day long, but will also drop everything instantly for a much-loved snuggle.
Health and Care - Our Tiny Teddys are very healthy compared to their purebred ancestors. This is partially due to the genetic diversity of being a mixed breed and their small stature. For families with allergies they are ideal. Their non-shedding and hypoallergenic coats are very low in dander. Regular brushing and the occasional trim is required to keep their coat in top shape. A neglected coat can become matted. Cleaning of teeth and ears on a regular basis is important for over all health especially after swimming and bathing will keep away tartar and grime.
