Teddy bear puppies are not one breed. It is the name families use for small dogs with round faces, soft fluffy coats, and a look that stays puppyish well into adulthood. Most are Shih Tzus or Bichon Frise crosses like the Shichon (the original teddy bear dog), Cavachon, Havachon, and Maltichon.
Every teddy bear puppy at Sugar Sweet Georgia Puppies comes from a trusted local Georgia breeder and spends time in our family home nursery before joining the showroom. Our on-staff veterinarian gives each one a complete health check, and every puppy is up to date on shots.
That fluffy coat does take some care. Plan on regular brushing at home and a professional groom every six to eight weeks. We offer grooming too, so ask about it when you visit.

Frequently asked questions
Is a teddy bear puppy a real breed?
No. It describes a look rather than a breed. Shih Tzus and Bichon Frise crosses are the most common teddy bear puppies, and the Shichon is the dog the nickname started with.
How big do teddy bear puppies get?
Most grow to roughly 8 to 20 pounds, depending on the breed and the parents. We can tell you what to expect for any puppy you meet.
Do teddy bear puppies shed?
Many have low-shedding coats, especially Shih Tzu, Havanese, and Maltese crosses. Crosses with a heavier-shedding parent, like a Cavalier or Pekingese, can shed more. No dog is completely hypoallergenic.
Can I meet them before deciding?
Yes. Visit our Lawrenceville showroom Monday through Saturday from 12 to 7, or Sunday from 2 to 6. Booking ahead lets us have the puppies you want to meet ready for you.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer flexible financing for qualified buyers (see our Financing page).
