How big do Teddy Bear puppies grow?
Teddy Bear puppies are small, affectionate designer dogs that typically grow to be between 9 and 12 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh anywhere from 8 to 15 pounds when fully grown. Their size can vary slightly depending on the specific breeds in their mix. Most commonly a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise or a Maltese and Shih Tzu.
Because they are a toy-sized breed, Teddy Bears are perfect for apartment living and families who prefer a smaller companion dog. Despite their size, they are sturdy and energetic, often acting bigger than they really are. Their compact build makes them easy to travel with, and their playful personalities make them a favorite among first-time dog owners.
To help your Teddy Bear puppy reach its ideal adult size, provide a balanced diet, regular exercise, and routine vet visits. With proper care, these adorable dogs stay healthy, happy, and full of love throughout their lives.
