If you’re searching for Teddy Bear Shichon or Shihpoo puppies, you’re about to discover something even better. The Habibi Bear™  Let our 36 years of dedication be your guide. Not a casual mix thrown together without regard for genetics. Not a purebred developed through generations of inbreeding, before science had a voice. Both leave you guessing—and often, disappointed. The Habibi Bear™ is different. A breed created for today, with modern science guiding every pairing. We’ve restored vitality through genetic diversity, crafted a consistent temperament, and given this breed a look—and soul—of its own. Raised with intention. Supported by a proven program. A dog with an owner’s manual. Now that’s a Habibi Bear.

So where did the Habibi Bear originate from? What makes this dog an ideal companion for those requiring emotional support?

This guide will discuss why it’s the perfect dog for those with disabilities and trauma. We’ll explain why our adoption process is one you can trust.

What Is the Habibi Bear?

We have poured decades into the development of these sweet little heart dogs, and they are incredible!  The Habibi Bear is an intentionally created hybrid of the best companion breeds, including the Bichon breed, which originated in the Mediterranean. Habibi means “my beloved” in Arabic, and the dogs get the bear part of their name because they resemble a soft teddy bear.  

The breed’s story was born 36 years ago out of a need for a service dog for families and children living with autism and emotional trauma. What began with breeding Schnoodles evolved into breeding Confetti Schnoodles, and our original name back then was Uptown Dogs Schnoodles.  Read our story! 

Using a process of modern scientific genetic testing combined with hybridization, the breed was infused over time. It was in an attempt to correct flaws found in the parent breeds to restore genetic diversity after years of inbreeding. 

The result was the Habibi Bear-a gentle and intuitive therapy dog.

Habibi Bear dogs are bred with small litters each year and no in-breeding. It has allowed the process to hone in on characteristics and traits and ensure genetic diversity for healthy dogs.
