The average life expectancy of a Teddy Bear Dog is at least 15 years, although some of the people who have purchased puppies from me have had their Teddy Bears live to be 19 years of age!!!
Since 1985 we have had a very small breeding program, with healthy First-Generation Bichons mixed with First-Generation Shih Tzus. Our primary responsibility is the health and temperaments of our dogs and puppies.
