About the Shichon
Shichon owners will tell you there is something almost unfair about how charming these little dogs are. Bred in the 1970s by crossing the Shih Tzu and the Bichon Frise, the Shichon brought together two of the great lap-dog traditions into one curly-coated package that quickly earned the nickname Teddy Bear dog. They are small enough for apartment life, gentle enough for kids of any age, and social enough to thrive with first-time owners who are still figuring things out. Their coats require real commitment, professional grooming every four to six weeks keeps them looking the part, and anyone who skips that step learns quickly why these dogs end up in rescue despite being endlessly lovable. That grooming chair time aside, Shichons are genuinely easy companions. Moderate energy, a strong desire to please, and a temperament built for closeness make them a natural fit for families and seniors alike. The people who love Shichons tend to love them hard, and this shop is here to celebrate that.

Yes. The Bella+Canvas 3001 has a modern, retail-quality fit, not boxy like cheaper blanks. It’s comfortable straight out of the package. If you prefer a relaxed fit, consider ordering one size up.

No. We use direct-to-garment (DTG) printing with water-based inks that are embedded into the cotton fibers, not sitting on top. The design stays soft to the touch and holds up through hundreds of washes.
