If you’re wondering, “How big do Teddy Bear dogs get?” you’re not alone. These irresistibly fluffy companions have become the gold standard for family dogs, and at Habibi Bears, we hear this question almost every day. Whether you’re dreaming of a pint-sized pup to tuck under your arm or a larger snuggle buddy to share your couch, Teddy Bear dogs come in sizes to fit every lifestyle.
But here’s the thing: not all Teddy Bear dogs are created equal.
At Habibi Bears, we’ve spent over 36 years perfecting the Teddy Bear Schnoodle into something even more special: the Habibi Bear. Our dogs aren’t just cuddly. They’re intuitive, hypoallergenic, emotionally attuned, and available in three carefully curated sizes to match your life perfectly.



What Is a Teddy Bear Dog?
Before we dive into size, let’s quickly clarify what “Teddy Bear dogs” are. While the term can refer to a variety of small, fluffy mixed breeds (like Shih Tzu-Bichon or Poodle mixes), here at Habibi Bears, we’ve elevated the concept into a next-generation companion.
Our Habibi Bear line was created with intention, drawing from heritage Schnoodles, Poodles, Cavaliers, Shih Tzus, Bichons, and more. This isn’t a random combination of traits. It’s a scientifically and emotionally guided breed designed to form deep bonds and love unconditionally.
So, How Big Do Teddy Bear Dogs Get?
We offer three Habibi Bear sizes to choose from. Let’s break them down so you can find the perfect match:

🧸 Teacup & Toy (3–12 lbs, 7–11 inches tall)
Tiny but mighty. These Teddy Bear dogs are small enough to fly in-cabin with you, yet they have a personality that fills a room. They’re ideal for city living, travel, or families who want a compact cuddle buddy that still feels like a full-sized dog in spirit.
- Perfect for apartment life
- Easily portable
- Great for families with older kids or gentle little ones
🧸 Miniature (12–20 lbs, 11–15 inches tall)
Our most popular size. These Teddy Bear dogs are the perfect middle ground. They’re sturdy enough for kids to play with, light enough to carry, and just the right size to adapt to any home or routine.
- Think Mini Schnauzer or Mini Poodle size
- Family-friendly and manageable
- Great for first-time dog owners
Moyen (18–30 lbs, 14–24 inches tall)
Need a bigger Teddy Bear dog with a therapeutic presence or a love for adventure? The Moyen size is perfect for emotional support work, hiking companions, or families who love the great outdoors. These dogs are sturdy without being overwhelming.
- Ideal for service or therapy work
- Excellent for active households
Too large for in-cabin flying, but still incredibly loving

Size Isn’t Everything, But It Helps
Choosing the right size for your Teddy Bear dog is about more than just space. It’s about lifestyle.
Do you want your dog to travel with you? Teacup or Mini is best.
Looking for a pup to snuggle with kids or provide emotional comfort? Mini or Moyen might be the way to go.
Need a pup to apply calming pressure during moments of anxiety? The Moyen size’s gentle weight is ideal.
No matter the size, all of our Habibi Bears are raised with the same love, science, and soul. Each comes with an owner’s manual, a proven training program, and lifelong support from the Habibi community.
Habibi Bear vs. Standard Teddy Bear Dogs
Schnoodles are known for their spirited and affectionate personalities. They are social animals who bond closely with their people and thrive on being included in family activities. Most Schnoodles enjoy attention and are quick to become attached to their humans.
Traditional Teddy Bear dogs are adorable, but the Habibi Bear is in a league of its own. Why?
Because we don’t just breed for size or cuteness, we breed for emotional intelligence, hypoallergenic coats, and intuitive connection.
Every Habibi Bear is hand-raised using our unique Habibi Method and matched to your family based on temperament and lifestyle needs, not just color or weight. That’s why they don’t just fit in your home. They fit in your heart.
The Takeaway: How Big Do Teddy Bear Dogs Get?
To sum it up, Teddy Bear dogs from Habibi Bears come in three size ranges:
- Teacup & Toy (3–12 lbs): ideal for travel and compact living
- Miniature (12–20 lbs): perfect balance of playfulness and portability
- Moyen (18–30 lbs): best for active families or emotional support needs
Whether you fall in love with a Teacup, a Mini, or a Moyen, one thing is guaranteed. Your Teddy Bear dog will be a life-changer.
