This suggests there were âhomemadeâ teddy bears in existence as early as the late 1800s. Steiff (shown right) is, indeed, the original manufacturer of teddy bears, and artist Richard Steiff was that teddy bearâs designer in Germany, in 1902. The first and oldest model Steiff bear that survives is the Rod Bear.
Origin. The Teddy Bear is the result of a few different designer breeds. The Teddy Bear can be a mix of the Shih Tzu and the Poodle (Shih Poo), the Bichon Frise and the Toy Poodle (Poochon) or the Bichon Frise and the Shiz Tzu (Zuchon). In some cases, the Teddy Bear can be a mix of all three breeds. Designer breeds like the Teddy Bear have been bred both for their looks and their allergy-friendly coats. Size. The size of the Teddy Bear varies but generally the dog is small, weighing 12 to 14 pounds and measuring no more than 12 inches. Grooming Needs. The Teddy Bear is a low shedding breed with a soft and fluffy coat that resembles a stuffed animal.
