Why a Shichon?
So first of all, we totally love both Shichon's and Shihpoo's, which is why we raise both! They are equally amazing as family dogs. We understand its a tough choice. Such a tough choice some of our families have a Shichon and a Shihpoo!
I’d like to share here below to help you make the best decision between these two delightful companions. Temperament can vary from litter to litter, from puppy to puppy, but all end up making a wonderful and intuitive family dog whom their new owners adore!
Shichon Description
Looking for a sweet companion that is gentle and loving yet a fluffy little goof ball of fun?! We would like to introduce you to the adorable "Teddy Bear" Shichon Puppy. Many call them real live stuffed teddy bears!
Shichons are happy-go-lucky, playful pups that love spending lots of time with their humans!
A Teddy Bear Shichon or Zuchon is an intentional cross between a Shihtzu and a Bichon Frise creating an F1 Hybrid.
The offspring brings out quality traits from both parents!
(Keep scrolling to meet our StonyRidge puppy parents at the bottom of this page.)
Our StonyRidge AKC purebred puppy parents have healthy bloodlines and excellent personalities. The outcome of these qualities have resulted into sweet, smart, loving puppies!
Shichon Temperament
The Shichon temperament will be that of a cuddly, gentle attitude from the Shihtzu, and then the loving to please, lively, charming spirit from the Bichon Frise.
Our Teddy Bear puppies are easily trained with dedication and love! They greet you with a smile and rarely have a bad day.
The Shichon is a wonderful family pet! They love everyone and get along well with other dogs or animals, and make a great companion for children! Making friends also comes rather easy. Shichons are sociable and enjoy people and other dogs no matter how small or big (and even cats)!
Shichon Appearance
You may have heard dogs nicknamed the "Teddy Bear" puppy. Shichons ARE the "Original" Teddy Bear Puppy! Their soft, cuddly coat and squishy little faces very much resemble a Teddy Bear.
We love all the different variety in Shichon coat color! How your Shichon puppy looks and coloring will depend greatly on the parents genetics. Our puppies for sale weight range is from 9 to 14 pounds as adults, based on past litters and parents weights.
Other options may vary too. The option of having a more curly coat of a Bichon Frise, or the soft coat a Shihtzu. Either way, the Shichon puppy you decide to adopt is going look like a little "Teddy Bear" with a fun-loving demeanor!

Shihtzus are known for their sweet-natured calm and cuddly temperament. They can tend to be a bit stubborn in training but can succeed in agility and obedience competitions. They also create beautiful colors, and take credit for the signature face mask. ShihTzu's require minimal exercise and are happy to lay in your lap.
