15 Teddy Bear Dog Breeds That Look Like Stuffed Animals Came to Life

Also known as Zuchon or Tzu Frise, this is perhaps the teddy bear-iest of all breeds considering they're an adorable blend of two others on this list: Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise. They also take after those breeds as playful and happy pooches.

This breed never seems to grow out of their young puppy-looks or behavior as they grow up eternally playful, affectionate, and a little bit needy when it comes to being around their family as much as possible.

Despite their teeny, tiny statures, any Yorkie owner will tell you they pack in a lot of personality — in their silly minds, they're the biggest dogs around.

This playful, snow white pooch will add so much joy to any family's home with their charm, but they can be a bit stubborn when there's something they've set their mind to (like treats).

If you thought you couldn't get any cuter than a Maltese or a Yorkie on their own, just look at this precious pup that's a mixture of both! They tend to have a balance of both parents' personalities, so you'll have a feisty fur baby on your hands.

The AKC describes this intelligent breed as "family comedian" who add plenty of laughter to their family's lives, but will likely be standoffish with strangers.

The American Kennel Club describes these sweet little balls of fluff as especially great at bonding with young children. 

Doesn't that face just melt you heart? The mix of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and poodle is known for being super affectionate, smart, and easy to train.

How fun it is to just say this name of a mixture between miniature Schnauzers and poodles? This breed is another great choice for a watchdog who can also charm anyone they meet.

Aside from the Shichon, this breed might be the closest to an actual bear cub you can safely bring into your home! They're also easy to train and make great watchdogs — even if their bark is bigger than their bite.

This super-floofy breed is like a Pomeranian times 10 in size, but just as loyal and loving as their tinier lookalikes.

These beautiful mixes of Cocker Spaniel and poodle are affectionate companions with bright, happy personalities. 

Their breed name might sound super fancy, but these mop-topped cuties will feel right at home snuggling up with their favorite humans whether they live in a castle, mansion, or regular ole home.

This blend of golden retriever and a miniature or standard poodle look like mega-sized maltipoos and share their playful, friendly spirit.

These silly pooches can always put a smile on their owner's face with their peppy charm and curious nature.
