Fern is 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, giving her the Bichon and Shih Tzu companion breed background families often love.

For families wanting a smaller dog with plenty of charm, the Shichon is an easy mix to appreciate. Bichons are known for their cheerful, playful nature, while Shih Tzus are loved for their close connection with their people. Together, this mix can be a great fit for families wanting a puppy to love, teach, and include in everyday life.

Fern is played with in the yard by children, including a 2-year-old, giving her regular attention and experience around family activity. For a family looking for a Teddy Bear puppy with a warm, people-centered start, Fern could be a great fit.
