You keep referring to him as a teddy bear. As a groomer, I just want to let you know a Tedd Bear is a mutt (bichon / shih tzu mix). Just so no one is confused, his is a pure-bred shih tzu right?
i was talking about his looks. the style of coat/hair cut which makes the dog look like a cute teddy bear. i use to work at a grooming shop also and we have a cut/style called the teddy bear face/style which was insanely popular with our small dog customers & yes he is a 100% purebred shih tzu which i bought from a local breeder who shows her dog.
