Meet Faith, a female Shichon, also called a Teddy Bear puppy. Her sire is Donold, a 12 lb Bichon, and her dam is Fluffy, a 10 lb Shih Tzu, so she is expected to stay small, though adult size can vary.

For families looking for a little companion with a soft, playful breed background, Shichons are a wonderful mix to consider. They bring together the cheerful nature of the Bichon with the loyal, people-focused qualities of the Shih Tzu, making them a popular choice for homes wanting a smaller dog to love and include in daily life.

Faith is played with in the yard by children, including a 2-year-old, giving her regular handling, attention, and experience around family activity. For a family looking for a small Teddy Bear puppy to welcome into the rhythm of home, Faith could be a lovely fit.
