From Uptown Dogs to the Habibi Bear™ — Meet the Creator of the Ultimate Teddy Bear Dog
From Schnoodle to Something Even Better…
Back in the ’90s, we were known as Uptown Dogs, one of the first breeders in the U.S. to specialize in the Schnoodle—a charming mix of Schnauzer and Poodle. Our Schnoodles quickly became known for their intelligence, adorable teddy bear looks, and hypoallergenic coats. Families all over the country fell in love with these dogs for their sweet temperaments and compatibility with kids.
But we didn’t stop there.
As the world changed, so did the needs of modern families. We began noticing what traditional Schnoodles were missing—and what today’s families were really looking for in a dog. And that’s when the next evolution was born…
“We recommend Habibi Bears to everyone. We’ve never heard of a breed and a program for raising them all in one place!”
– Jensen Family
We are truly amazed at the ease with which we were able to raise our Habibi Bear; it was so uncomplicated that we decided to add a second one this year. We extend our gratitude for your program and the continued support. As first-time dog owners, we initially felt anxious about the possibility of mismanaging our responsibilities; however, the Human’s Guide to the Dog Galaxy instilled in us a sense of confidence and preparedness.
We thoroughly appreciated the flow charts, as they facilitated easy course corrections and helped us understand the needs of our puppy. As our second Habibi Bear prepares to join our family, we intend to reuse all the supplies and prepare for an abundance of Habibi Bear Magic!

The Next Generation of Teddy Bear Schnoodles
You could call the Habibi Bear the Perfected Schnoodle. Or the Ultimate Schnoodle Upgrade™. But to us, they are so much more than that. They are a breed of our own creation, designed with intention, intuition, and purpose.
We started with everything people already loved about the Schnoodle—loyalty, intelligence, and a low-shedding coat—but we took it further. We created something extraordinary: the ultimate family companion by adding genetic diversity, a softer, thicker coat, and a friendlier, more affectionate temperament.
The result?
A new breed for today’s world.
✨ Emotionally attuned.
✨ Hypoallergenic and non-shedding.
✨ Calm, adaptable, and endlessly affectionate.
✨ The intuitive dog that chooses you.
This thoughtfully curated blend became the Habibi Bear™—not just a dog, but a heart dog. A soul friend. An Anam Cara.
This is what makes our dogs one of a kind. This is the Habibi Bear Magic™.

“My dog is my lifeline, raising her with Habibi Method was life changing – Lisa R
Meeting Julie has been one of the best experiences for me in a long time. I was eager to welcome a new puppy into my life and desired a deeper bond with my dog. . I connected with Julie’s philosophy: guiding puppies instead of breaking them. My past experience with a trainer was traumatic and left a negative impact on my last dog. They employed shock collars and prong collars, resulting in my little pup coming home with a collapsed trachea. Unfortunately, that dog was never the same afterward, and I vowed never to send my dog to a trainer again. I aimed to learn how to raise a puppy on my own and empower myself. This is the essence of the Habibi Bear movement. Julie has fostered a wonderful community of individuals who share a passion for their Habibi Bears, and her program has been a refreshing change. She inspires us to delve deep and navigate our challenges by connecting through love rather than punishment. Her insightful perspective on dogs is truly remarkable. Thank you, Julie, for guiding me with your love and support. I did it!
