Often used and bred as therapy dogs

Shichon puppies are a designer breed picked for their stature, weight, and calm temperament. For children who have a handicap these mellow, sweet dogs can be the perfect companion that help their owner. Teddy bear puppies were also bred for their patience. They are very compassionate and tolerant animals who will be more than happy to cuddle up and watch a movie after a long day or help their owner through a stressful time. If you decide to adopt a therapy dog or a dog trained to work with those who are handicapped be sure they are trained properly from accredited trainer and come from a reputable breeder.

Need to be needed

These little guys love people and do actually require plenty of time with their owner. If you decide to adopt this pooch, be sure you have plenty of time to hang out and can bring them virtually everywhere you go (specifically work). They are very adaptable and won’t mind exploring the office while you work or taking a nap during a meeting.

You will also want your family to become familiar with them if you have family living in your home. That way your pet will become attached to everyone in his or her pack.

Love walks on the beach

Teddy bear dogs need to have lots of exercise. You do not need to have a yard but it will help. If you have a fenced in yard you are somewhat off the hook but you will still want to take your pooch on a daily walk. If you do not have a yard be sure to give them at least two good walks a day with a game of fetch during each. These pups have plenty of energy packed in their tiny bodies and need lots of outlets for it so they do not succumb to cabin fever. If your puppy begins to misbehave be sure they are getting plenty of exercise. This may help in the long run so they can look forward to play and you won’t have to stow your new heels on top of the fridge.

Shichon puppies are great for small families who are ready to have a pooch to spoil with affection and attention. They are patient, sweet little guys who are ready to bring more fun to your world
