The Bichon Frise - Shih Tzu mix well grow from 12 to 20 pounds, depending on breed,
the Mediterranean Bichon-poo and shih-tzu (Teddy Bear) mix weighs around 10 pounds, and has curlier hair, and the Imperial shichon bloodline can weigh 6 to 10 pounds and have more silky hair, while the standard zuchon can weight up to 20 pounds.

The Teddy bear by breed, will grow from 6-14 pounds.

zuchon hybrid hair is very soft, virtually hypo-allergenic, and well grow from 4 to 6 inch's.

Zuchons were originally bred for their temperament, for disabled children. Teddy bears are very affectionate and have a happy temperament. These designer dogs are not high strung, like many of the toy sized dogs these days, but still have a playful nature.This charming, little gentle dog will bark when needed, but definitely is not a yapper. Teddy bears can learn to perform tricks, and are great with children. Shih Chons, Zu-Chons, Teddy Bears, and Shi-Chons are all Shih Tzu Bichon Frise mix puppies.
It's pretty hard to offend a zuchon, Both the Bichon and the Shih Tzu are very social dogs, and the mix is every bit as social. The mix does benefit from the sweet and easy going nature of the Shih Tzu, bringing down the activity level of this mix to generally mild to medium. They love to play in bursts outside, but when it's time to settle down for the night, these zuchons are happy to do so.
