Shih
Chons, Shi-Chons, and Zu-Chons are all the Shih Tzu
Bichon Frise mix, True Teddy Bears, however have Bichon-poo
and shih tzu.
Teddy
Bears are bred for their temperament, unlike most small
dogs these days they are not high strung, and only bark
occasionally when playing or if a stranger comes in
your home unannounced.
Teddy bears were originally bred for handicapped children,
so they could hug and squeeze them with out getting
a nip and struggle and instead get licks and love in
return.
Teddy
bears have a rag doll feel to them, they're hair comes
in ether very soft and curly or a strait airy silky
type, both hair types are very nice to the feel of them,
unlike any dog you may have petted in the past. They
are also virtually hypoallergenic, and extremely affectionate.
Teddy
bears can learn tricks, and love to show off, they
are great with people and love other pets,they like
playing catch, love swimming and chasing people to
lick them like crazy.
Teddy
bears are always growing hair, so you can try many
styles with them, there is the teddy cut (trim 3-4
inches all the way around) and classy cut (cutting
hair short expect on ears and tail with feathered
feet) among many others, try your own new ideas, its
OK it'll grow back!
They also look adorable in outfits, and they don't
mind prancing around in them ether, they are unlike
any other dog and will cause attention wherever they
Rome.
Teddy
Bears adore there owners, they sit and watch for your
expressions, shoot they like just to sit there and
give you love eyes all day! They love to sleep with
there owners, and are always flopping around on you
and licking you, my teddy's wait for me to open my
eyes then go nuts flopping all over me and licking
me every morning, i love waking up to their extremely
soft fur all over me every morning.

The
funds from the puppies adoptions go into the development
of these ONE OF A KIND dogs, they are ONE OF A KIND because
they have the Euro lineages and the social development
that NO ONE else combines. They also help us foster victimized
pets from the human centers, and allow us to donate puppy's
to handicapped or hospitalized children.
What's
the difference between a designer dog and a mutt?
Generally, a mutt is of uncertain ancestry. A designer
dog has documented purebred ancestry, and one knows for
sure what it is.
We
believe in Hybrid Vigor or Heterosis, which is an increase
in the performance of hybrids over that of purebreds,
most noticeably in traits like fertility and sterility,
however we drive for the Euro genetics, (such as the imperil
shih-tzu and Mediterranean
bichon).
Heterosis
is a term used in genetics and selective breeding. The
term heterosis, also known as hybrid vigor or outbreeding
enhancement, describes the increased strength of different
characteristics in hybrids; the possibility to obtain
a genetically superior individual by combining the virtues
of its parents.
A mixed-breed dog Heterosis is the opposite of inbreeding
depression, which occurs with increasing homozygosity.
The term often causes controversy, particularly in terms
of the selective breeding of domestic animals, because
it is sometimes believed that all crossbred animals are
genetically superior to their parents; this is true only
in certain circumstances : when a hybrid is seen to be
superior to its parents, this is known as hybrid vigor.
When the opposite happens, and a hybrid inherits traits
from their parents that makes them unfit for survival,
the result is referred to as outbreeding depression.
The dominance
hypothesis attributes the superiority of hybrids to the
suppression of undesirable recessive genes from one parent
by dominant genes from the other. It attributes the poor
performance of inbred strains to loss of genetic diversity,
with the strains becoming purely homozygous at many loci.
Certain combinations of genes that can be obtained by
crossing two strains are advantageous in the hybrid vigor.
So what's up with these hybrid, "designer" dogs?
Are they healthier?
Hybrid dogs can still have genetic problems because you
are still crossing two first generation dogs, however
the percentage of hybrid dogs with genetic problems is
much lower than purebred dogs Because the gene pool is
mixed. Breeders who breed purebred to purebred creating
a first generation hybrid believe in the heterosis effect
and hybrid vigor. Ours are F3 so third generation each
generation thins bad recessive genes.
Our
breeding process includes Euro bloodlines which are.....
the Mediterranean Teddy Bear. The
Mediterranean *Teddy Bear (a Hybrid Zuchon "aka shichon"
The true teddy bear mix Bichon-poo &
Shih tzu). So in our case the Bichon is Mediterranean
Bichon which is the euro linage.
F1 - meaning
first generation True Teddy Bear (later shichons were
nicknamed teddy bears), his father being Mediterranean
bichon-poo, a smaller bichon with Euro features, such
as, button eyes, thinner snout, softer hair, and long
silky tail hair.
Then
the Imperial
*Teddy Bear
(a Hybrid Zuchon "aka shichon" The true
teddy bear mix Bichon-poo & Shih tzu). So
in our case the Imperial
is the euro linage.
F2
(second generation True Teddy Bear)
with imperial
shih tzu on the fathers side to provide us with Euro features,
such as, the baby doll face and "Ewoak"
(on Star Wars) like features, with smaller size of course.
These
are true Teddy Bear Puppies, but a step up with the euro
bloodlines.
Our
Teddy bear puppies come in a variety of colors....
•
Panda bear (white with black spots)
•
Parties
(white with calico spots)
•
Campaign (white with gold spots)
•
Reds (they get redder as they grow)
•
Cinnamon (brown & white under coat)
•Black
and brindles.
They
also come in several sizes, because of our breeding process,
(depending on shichon dam bloodline),
They all come with Euro features, such as...
Thinner snout, softer hair, long silky tail hair, button
eyes, baby doll eyes,
and "Ewoak" (on star wars) like features.

have a rag doll feel to them, they're hair comes in ether

Different Outfit

5.22.09 Update:
At
this time they are just feeling around and
growing.
We give them stimuli about three times a
day, by picking them up, rubbing our face
on them, petting their backs, this help
associate human smells with positive stimuli.
We also are talking to them, so they know
human voices, this will help them pick up
commands when older.
She has the
ewoak face!
5.29.09 Update:
As
far as development, they are scooting around
and beginning to build there muscles, they
lift the head and look towards a sound.
We are now putting them on different textured
blankets, this stimulates the nerves in
there feet and skin. To enhance balance,
and play. We also tickle them and scratch
there butts, to get a little more personal
with them, to enhance a bonding emotion
in them young.
We
are also altering the lights, we had a soft
light in the room, for the development of
the eyes, were now switching once a day
to an energy saver bulb, which isn't as
hard a common bulb, when there eyes open
we wont use ether for three days and just
let some natural light flow in, then we
will go to soft bulb for a day then the
energy saver bulb switch again for at least
a week. This well help them be able to focus
there eyes quicker. It also enhances night
vision, and makes the eyes with proper deit
very healthy, long term.
6.5.09 Update:
At this time we aren't focusing on the development,
we are only focusing on the socializing,
they have just opened there eyes, and we
want the eyes as there ajusting to see us,
we give them tons of petting, and rub our
fingers around the cheeks to get them to
play a bit with us, there ears are opening
too so we have started calling them by name.
6.11.09 Update:
We
are socializing, and working with the eyes,
getting them to follow and look in different
directions to strengthen the eye muscles,
we are also grooming them so they don't
have to look through the fur, the fur causes
there eyes to be opposite of cross eyed,
our pups are corrected at this young age
to have normal looking and functioning eyes,
PLEASE keep
there eyes groomed once you have them so
our work isn't for nothing.
Next Week we will be starting up the senses
stimulus.
The Hair has just
started to grow, and the puppies have just
started to play, they also have just started
to eat, we only give them smashed up beef
stew at this time so its like a thick liquid
made from peas, carrots, beef and water
cooked overnight
Please
note: The eye exercises
are not to clear a genetic defect from our
lineages, our lineages come from healthy
dogs.
But are actually something I had come up
with.
My sons had lazy or crossed eyes as babies,
doctor Siegel from pacific eye institute
had shown me exercises to do with them to
correct this. When I volunteered at the
human centers before I even had these dogs
I noticed the way furry dogs had developed
an opposite look to the crossed eyes. Due
to looking around there fur. This has developed
over years and years of breeding the fuzzier
dogs in many breeds.
Well I didn't like it and thought if I kept
the face groomed and did the eye exercises
dr Siegel showed me for my children I could
correct it. Come to find out not only dose
it correct it, but if you do it while they
are young, they grow to have gorgeous eyes,
( See
my photo page ).
Once you receive a puppy the exercises are
no longer needed, just keeping the face
groomed.
6.18.09 Update:
We
are still socializing, working
on the eyes and
working with the senses, We give them different
taste of safe organic foods, such as honey,
Banana Chips, beef broth, beef soup paste
(home made), and other foods, just a drop.
This well give them a strong gut able to
also absourb a a variety of nutrients. We
are also now taking them to the yard, there
eyes are adjusting to sun light, and we
are giving them different things to smell,
flowers, bugs, our cat, grass, rocks ex..
They are
very play full now, and wake up in a hurry
when I say "puppy!" they lick
you, gnaw on you, cry for you, I even cuddle
them in the bed and they fall asleep with
there little noses snuggle up to you. They
already have a strong attachment to people.
6.26.09 Update:
We are
working on motor skills, and listening skills,
we have them run up and down stairs with
us. and follow the puppy noise. We also
hide and yell puppy so they can find us.
we also use a cream rub on the feet, but
theres no real reason except they like it,
it may have its benefits to the pads.
the puppies
are very active now, and the hair is coming
in.
They are
also teething on pig ears and beef sticks.
7.2.09 Update:
Next
week is the last update! Those who still
have the puppies here can request a photo
VIA Email.
Its all fun and games now! they learn action
words like Wanta Go, Puppy, and a few others
which we have been doing, but besides that
it all about the human bond.
