Teddy Bears are the result of a cross between a Bichon Frise and a Shih Tzu. They were first bred in the 1990s in the United States with the goal of creating a dog that looked like a teddy bear and would make a sweet companion to children and adults alike. Their history isn’t long, but the parent breeds are well-documented.

The Bichon Frise was created in the Mediterranean centuries ago. They were often traded, and that’s how they made their way around the world. In the 1300s the breed became very popular with Italian nobility. France discovered the breed in the 1500s, and they were also treasured there. They made their way to and became popular in the Canary Islands in the 15th and 16th centuries. The 1800s saw a decline in the breed’s popularity, but there were efforts to restabilize the breed after the first World War.

The Shih Tzu breed is one of the oldest known and was favored by Chinese royals and kept at court as far back as the Tang dynasty, 618 to 907. Although we don’t know its exact ancestors, experts believe they are a cross between Tibet’s Lhasa Apso breed and a small Chinese dog like a Pekingese. Shih Tzus became popular with commoners in China during the Ming dynasty, but they almost disappeared during the Chinese Revolution. Somehow seven males and seven females were saved, and all of today’s Shih Tzus are descended from those 14 dogs. They began to appear in other countries and North America in the early 1900s. They were often referred to as Apsos. Clubs recognizing the differences between Shih Tzus and Apsos were not established until 1934 and 1935, but a standard defining the Shih Tzu’s unique characteristics wasn’t established until 1938. World War II veterans returning to the United States brought these vivacious little pups home with them from England. In 1969 Shih Tzus were recognized as a toy breed with the American Kennel Club. They became popular in the U.S. quickly and continue to be popular today.

Teddy Bears need to be combed daily to prevent tangles and uncomfortable mats. They should be bathed and trimmed about every 3 months to keep their fur healthy and attractive. You may need to trim around the eyes in between haircuts to clear their view and prevent infection. Clip their nails a couple of times a month as necessary, and clean their ears with a cotton ball and ear-cleaning solution.

Brush their teeth at least three times a week to remove tartar, though daily is ideal.
