🐶Big Things Come in Tiny Packages: Introducing Our Micro Habibi Bears

If you’ve followed us for a while, you may have noticed something special popping up in our litters over recent years—tiny, MICRO teacup-sized puppies.

What started as a rare, tiny surprise in our litters has now become one of the most beloved sizes in our community—and I had no idea just how adored they’d be! The Micro Teacup line is officially taking shape, and these little ones are truly something to behold. With their unique colors, pocket-sized charm, and incredibly loving temperaments, they’re winning hearts left and right.

Behind the scenes, I’ve been thoughtfully selecting and integrating micro-sized boys into our breeding program—and I’ll be introducing these precious new sires very soon. Recent litters were also paired with the future in mind, as I plan to hold back a few special girls to become the founding mothers of our Micro line. It’s such a joy to watch this vision come to life—and I can’t wait to see which of these tiny treasures will carry it forward!

✨ How It All Began…

Back in the late 1980s when I began developing the Habibi Bear breed, the focus was on miniature sizes in the 15–25 pound range—think Mini Schnauzer or Mini Poodle-sized companions. Over time, as I observed my lines and listened to the needs of our families, I noticed that some of our girls naturally produced smaller puppies.

These tiny pups were rare, but they were undeniably special. So, I paid attention. I studied their health, personality, and structure, and began the quiet work of refining this emerging “Teacup” size while keeping everything you love about the Habibi Bear intact.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks and announcements—you won’t want to miss this!

#152 – Getting Through the Puppy Phase

Here at Habibi Bears we frequently receive emails from members of our Habibi Bear Tribe asking about two main subjects concerning our youngest puppies after they’ve made the transition to their forever homes, biting and potty accidents. Both are problems that usually resolve with some patience and time as your puppy grows.  We know it seems overwhelming when you are in the thick of things with your new Habibi Bear puppy but we would like to urge you to take a step back and take a deep breath, and focus on three things. 

Welcome to Habibi Bears! We are so glad you’re here! The Habibi Bear is a special breed born out of love and designed to be an intuitive family member for you. We believe in relationship-based training and have designed our entire Habibi Bear Method around this priniple. When you have the relationship with your dog, everything else can easily fall into place. 

We’d love to tell you more about our beloved Habibi Bears.
