    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Selecting a dog can be both perplexing and exciting. The one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's personality will reveal itself.

    Understanding why a breed was developed, and the country and climate it initially came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and character.

    Some breeds require much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also take time to cultivate: the boxer's lively and extrovert nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog

Shichon Information

The Zuchon is also known as a Shichon, teddy bear dog, or fuzzy wuzzy puppy. They reach an average height of 9-12 inches from the shoulder, and a weight of 8-25 pounds fully grown. 'Dog Breed Info' says the Zuchon is a dog "known for his endearing face, large expressive eyes, and his soft teddy-bear coat." The Zuchon usually has a longer coat that does not shed very much, if at all. This longer coat may lead to more time for maintenance and grooming. As hypoallergenic dogs, Zuchons are generally more suitable for homes with allergy problems amongst the inhabitants, although allergic reactions may still occur.
