The Shih Tzu Bichon is a designer mix between a male bichon and a female shih tzu. They are very playful, affectionate, and gentle mannered. The Shih Tzu Bichon is naturally sociable and loves to be a part of a busy family. These little pups are very sociable with other pets and very obedient with children. Shih Tzu Bichons are very intelligent and eager to please their owners. They can learn tricks very easily and they love to show off what they have accomplished. The Shih Tzu Bishon's appearance is absolutely beautiful, almost reminding you of a stuffed teddy bear. The Shih Tzu Bichons hair resembles the Shih Tzu's rather than the Bichon. Their hair is soft and smooth and most of the time straight. Once in a while their hair can be curly, but our Shih Tzu Bichon's hair is always straight or wavy. One wonderful trait the Bichon did pass on is that the mix is non-low shedding and hypoallergenic, meaning it's allergy friendly. Our Shih Tzu Bichons weigh between 10-17 pounds and they range from 9-11 inches in height full grown.

Overall this cute, furry, and family friendly dog would make a great addition to any ones home. The Shih-Tzu Bichon is a hybrid breed, with the first-generation crosses being a mix of Bichon Frise and Shih Tzu. It is not a purebred dog, which sometimes makes it a challenge to determine the dog’s future temperament, but if you research the temperament of both breeds and are comfortable with the fact that your Bichon Frise Shih Tzu mix may exhibit, to varying degrees, any of those characteristics, you ought not to be surprised. Because they are a cross between these two breeds, these dogs are compact and sturdy. This hybrid cross breed is officially recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club and is considered a “designer dog.” This breed, also known as the Zuchon, can reach heights of about 12 inches and will weigh between 12 and 14 pounds full grown. They are a great choice for people with allergies, as they are a hypoallergenic breed! Bichon Frise Shih Tzu crosses are playful and full of life and are a great social companion.

They are gentle and well mannered, and are alert and intelligent, traits they inherit from both parent breeds. They can be stubborn, but if you can get through the housebreaking challenge you will be rewarded with an obedient, loving puppy that is great around children. They can keep pace with an active lifestyle and will make great family pets. Like most hybrids, Zuchons inherit the best of the best in terms of their health. Your puppy should not exhibit any congenital defects that can be present in purebred dogs. Because they are hypoallergenic, these dogs make great companions for allergy suffers, as we’ve mentioned. And their soft coats require not much more than a weekly brushing to keep it free from tangles, and oh-so-touchable. They only require a moderate amount of exercise and will adapt nicely to an indoor lifestyle, making them perfect for life in an apartment. Because they are so social, however, be aware that your puppy may get a little miffed if you leave the house without her.

She’ll get over it though, once you return! So, if it’s a cute, cuddly, kid-friendly puppy you want, head over and see us.

Therefore, price does matter. Think about it... if a breeder were advertising that they had purebred AKC Shih Tzu Show Quality puppies for sale for only $100 each, would you be hesitant?

Would you wonder why the pups were being sold so cheap?...Most would and there is a reason for this....Just about anything of quality has a price to match it. If a Shih Tzu is not carefully bred he or she can have many medical issues; some may be apparent at birth and others will not show up for years but when they do you may find yourself emptying your nest egg to pay for vet bills. Additionally, poorly bred dogs will not meet the breed standards...Not only will a potential owner find that as the pup grows into an adult that they do not have the classic appearance of the breed, but it can also cause medical problems such as hip dysplasia and many more. We receive many emails asking "why is the cost for a Shih Tzu so much money?" One must understand that small home breeders must put a long of money into their breeding program in order to produce a litter of high quality, healthy puppies. For those who are dedicated to improving the bloodlines, just the cost to begin with 1 female and 1 male can be in the thousands.

Then, one must think about maintenance cost: high quality dog food, veterinarian visits, toys, pens, baby gates, blankets, toys, birthing supplies, grooming supplies, etc.Programs run ethically will only breed a dam every other heat.. or 2 heats in a row and then stop to allow the female to recuperate and have a rest period. The window for producing litters is relatively small compared to the life span of the dog....It is between the ages of 2 and 6....and in some cases a female will be retired early if a veterinarian has deemed there to be any possible health risks associated with another pregnancy. In addition, litter size is small....and this all comes into play regarding cost. are going to cost more than those who are not show quality. One must understand that a show quality pup is deemed this because they are almost "perfect" in regard to AKC conformation of the breed. Perhaps 1 pup out of 3 or 4 liters will be as such. There is nothing wrong with "pet" quality Shih Tzu, as long as they have been breed properly, have been raised in a loving environment and have a health guarantee.

ONLY if you are planning on showing your dog in AKC conformation events should you pay attention to these labels. DO however, be aware of someone who tells you that the entire litter is show quality....it has not and never will happen.Be aware of the term "Imperials", learn what this means...And never pay more because you are promised a Tzu of a smaller size To sum things up and keep things simple, we would suggest the middle ground....Stay away from puppies who are so cheap that they are practically given away...and unless you are planning to show and you have experience in determining show quality, stay away from very expensive pups. Go with a small, home based, experienced and devoted breeder whose available puppies fall with the $400 to $700 price range.
