A Teddy Bear puppy is a man made dog. The Teddy Bear puppy will stay looking like a puppy. The two dogs that are bred to create a TB puppy are a Bichon Frise and a Shih Tzu. You will find that the American Canine Hybrid Club classifies the Teddy Bear puppy under the name of Zuchon.
A Teddy Bear puppy typically does not weigh more than 8 lbs full grown. You may opt for a teacup Teddy Bear puppy which will weigh only about 4 lbs.
Your furniture, clothing and allergies will love the fact that the Teddy Bear puppy does not shed. Some dogs hair tangles more than others so you may want to make sure that you have enough time to commit to brushing your dog.
These dogs typically cost $500 plus. You can also find Teddy Bear puppies for over $1,000.
The good news is that the Bichon Frise and Shih Tzu dog breeds are easy to train.
Training tips include:
Using praise words or treats when your dog does the correct command. Never use a shock collar, choke collar or pull collar on one of these small bred dogs. You will increase your odds of hurting your little dog as well as matting up the fur on your dog.
Always repeat the desired behavior over and over. This will help to train your dog as well as let him/her know this is what is expected. If one day you let your dog do something and the following day you do not, you are only confusing him/her.
When training your dog keep him/her on a leash. This will help prevent your dog from running or playing around. If you are training your beloved dog outside, than you will keep him/her safe from traffic or running away.
Use two commands at the same time when training your dog. For example, if you are commanding your dog to stop than say the word as well as use the “stop" sign language word. You simply take your left hand with the palm facing upwards and take your right hand, turn it side ways and hit the pinky side down onto your left hand. Or you could put your hand out in the stop position.
Good luck training your Teddy Bear puppy. You will have a lifelong loyal dog that will steal your heart.
