Should You Adopt a Shichon?
Shichons are adorable, affectionate, and low-shedding companion dogs, but they aren’t the right fit for every home. The Shichon (also known as a Teddy Bear Dog) is a delightful mix of the Bichon Frise & Shih Tzu. If you’re looking for an affectionate, low-shedding, and family-friendly dog, here are five great reasons why a Shichon might be your perfect match!
1️⃣ Shichons Are Loving & Affectionate
Shichons form strong bonds with their families and love to cuddle. They thrive on companionship and make excellent lap dogs.
2️⃣ They Are Hypoallergenic & Low-Shedding
Thanks to their Bichon Frise lineage, Shichons have a low-shedding coat, making them a great choice for allergy sufferers.
3️⃣ Perfect Size for Any Home
Weighing 9-15 lbs, Shichons are the ideal size for apartments, small homes, or larger spaces—as long as they get love and attention!
4️⃣ Great with Kids & Other Pets
Shichons have a gentle, playful nature that makes them wonderful companions for children, seniors, and even other pets.
5️⃣ Adopting Saves Lives
By adopting a Shichon, you’re giving a dog in need a second chance at a loving home. Adoption helps reduce pet overpopulation and supports responsible pet ownership. It also helps families facing the heartbreak of having to rehome a cherished pet.

🤔 Things to Consider Before Adopting a Teddy Bear Dog
The Teddy Bear Dog (a mix between a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise) is an adorable and affectionate breed, but they’re not the right fit for everyone. Here are a few important things to consider before bringing one home.
✔ They Need Regular Grooming
Shichons have a soft, fluffy coat that requires frequent brushing and professional grooming every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting.
✔ They Thrive on Companionship
Teddy Bear Dogs are highly social and can suffer from separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. They do best in homes where someone is around most of the day.
✔ They Require Training & Socialization
While intelligent and eager to please, Shichons can be stubborn at times. Early training and socialization are key to ensuring they grow into well-mannered companions.
✔ They Have Moderate Energy Needs
Shichons are playful but don’t require excessive exercise. Daily walks and playtime will keep them happy and healthy.
✔ Vet Care & Long-Term Commitment
With an average lifespan of 12-16 years, adopting a Teddy Bear Dog is a long-term commitment. Regular vet visits, a high-quality diet, and preventative care are essential for their well-being.
