The 'Shichon', or 'Teddybear', or 'Zuchon' is a mix between and purebred Shih Tzu and a purebred Bichon.  The Shichon is typically very friendly, never aggressive towards animals or people, and very healthy and playful.  They are a non-shedding dog with a beautiful, fluffy, easy to maintain coat.  They are playful and very active, but they are not 'non-stop-energy' dogs.  They like to have interactive play time, but they also love to be held and cuddled.  Their temperments are very forgiving and they always want to please you.   They typically train very easily and quickly.  Ours are raised around several small children so they really love kids and are very good with them.  The Shichon is quickly becoming one of the most popular hybrid dogs as more and more people learn about them.
