Freya 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. Based on her parents’ sizes, she is expected to stay small, though adult size can vary.

A good family puppy should feel like part of the home, not just a pet in the background. Shichons are loved because they combine the Bichon’s cheerful personality with the Shih Tzu’s companion-focused nature. Their smaller size also makes them appealing for many families wanting a little dog with plenty of heart.

Freya is played with in the yard by children, including a 2-year-old, giving her regular interaction and experience with family activity. For a home looking for a small Teddy Bear puppy to love and include in daily routines, Freya could be a lovely choice.
