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 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.

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.

They have been determined to be hypoallergenic because they do not have the normal dog dander that so many people are allergic to.

The smaller size they have is also a perfect fit for apartment living and works well for senior citizens who cannot take them for long walks every day.

If started early in their lives the dogs will learn to look forward to these grooming features because they feel loving in nature.

The breeders of this dog generally treat them as family members and raise them inside their homes. This allows them to be well socialized when they arrive at their new homes. Most breeders do not offer them for adoption until they are eight weeks old and are completely weaned from their mothers.
