A Little Bit About the Zuchon

The Zuchon Designer dogs are half Bichon Frise and half Shih Tzu. They are also commonly known as "Teddy Bear Zuchon." Their are fluffy like teddy bears and oh so cute. This is a hybrid that is gaining much popularity in the United States especially.

They are clever, playful, love attention and make good companion dogs easily adapting to any kind of living arrangements. They make excellent apartment pets due to their smaller size. Both of these breeds, the Bichon Frise and the Shih Tzu are bred solely for loving companionship. They make good pets for children as well as adults. 

This Teddy Bear look designer dog has been around now for about 10 years in the United States. They are usually small, about 10 to 12 inches in height and weighing about 9 to 13 pounds. In general they have fairly big expressive eyes, and short noses. This hybrid dog has an abundant and soft coat of hair that can be curly or wavy and might even grow moderately long if left not clipped. Colors are usually:


  • black
  • white
  • silver
  • grey
  • tan
  • cream
  • muli-colors of black and white, silver and white, tan and white, cream and white
As both these dogs, the Bichon Frise and Shih Tzu are highly intelligent, you can expect the Zuchon or "Shichon" to be easy to train as well.

Ways to Eliminate Fear in Dogs and Puppies

Have you ever met up with a very anxious dog or puppy? Sweet as can be, but still yet "nervous." He or she hides behind mommy when new people show up rather than wagging the tail happily and greeting them. 
Sometimes more information about any one subject is dangerous in that people make generalizations that are just not true at all. One of these is all the news about "abused animals" and how they act when they been abused. 
When a dog is fearful many people NOW assume that dog must have been abused. It is the today's catch-all phrase people use whenever a dog has unknown history shows stress or fear. We say, "he is scared of men because a man must have one time abused  him," or she is scared of ball caps because someone has abused her with ball caps. The same kind of things are said about men with beards, people wearing sunglasses, pulling out a camera and numerous other behaviors.

In fact, there are a lot of dogs who are nervous or show fear and do so NOT as a direct result of abuse. It certainly happens and is horrible when it does, however, a much more likely explanation is that these dogs have just not been adequately socialized as puppies.
A great deal of neurological development takes place after puppies are born, much of it happens in the first 16 weeks. Their early experiences is a crucial time that will make a lifelong impact on their ability to react to stress. During this period of time, they are most open to new experiences, sights and sounds such as:
  • appliances running in the home like vacuum cleaners
  • cats and other pets
  • children
  • men with beards
  • people wearing sunglasses
  • doorbells ringing
  • baseball caps
  • and much more
Dogs who have positive experiences with simple things in their environment during this critical development time is much less likely to react negatively to them on down the road in a new home or elsewhere.

Most puppies go to a new home at eight weeks at the youngest and ideally even a little older than that. As our understanding of the importance of socialization has increased many trainers are opening up puppy classes to 12 week old puppies, and the socialization benefits are well worth it.

Formal programs used to socialize puppies at very early stages of life (puppy preschool so to speak) are great because they walk people through each important aspect of social exposure needed for good socialization, from touching to meeting strangers, to music and doorbells. In fact, breeders can do the same kind of socialization exercises for puppies about to leave home.

Puppy kindergarten and breeder training programs with new litters are well worth the time and effort for both the puppy and their new owners. It can do a lot to help diminish a dog's fear of new sights, sounds or experiences.

For best results use the Life's Abundance All Natural Pet Care Products for grooming any breed of dog.

Do you raise the puppies for sale or show? Are you a pet groomer?

Life's Abundance Gives Back: Here are Just a Few of the Variety of Animal Rescue Groups

Every time you shop from Life's Abundance, a portion of the profits is set aside to fund the good works of our charitable foundation. This is true whether you order our superior nutritional supplements for yourself, or premium food, treats and supplements for your companion animals. Your repeat business helps fund the efforts to save the lives of homeless, abused and neglected animals throughout the United States.


The Dr. Jane Foundation is our non-profit agency that provides financial support to small and medium-size rescue groups from coast to coast. Each charitable organization dedicates itself to the hard work of ending animal homelessness and helping pets survive and overcome the effects of chronic abuse and neglect. Our financial support helps many rescue groups continue their operations and grow. Since 2007, the Dr. Jane Foundation awarded in excess of $200,000 to over 150 deserving groups.
The needs are many and great. Today, reliance upon euthanasia is just a fraction of what it was 20 or 30 years ago due to our efforts and the efforts of others. Still yet, far too many adoptable dogs and cats have their lives ended prematurely. We very much support a no-kill approach.


To qualify for funding from our foundation, applicants must meet rigorous criteria. 
Just think, simply by buying from Life’s Abundance, you’ll be making the world a better place for dogs and cats in need. How often do you get to do something super positive without having to do anything different at all? As long as you keep purchasing our health-promoting products, you’ll be supporting rescue efforts across the US!
And now, we’re pleased to inform you that our Board of Directors held a quarterly meeting on July 17, 2018. We approved funding several grant applications and sent checks to the following worthy rescue organizations in addition to several others.
ACTion Programs for Animals
Located in Las Cruces, NM, this 100-volunteer-strong animal rescue is making a tremendous difference, not only in their local community, but even beyond state lines. Since May of 2012, they have rescued more than 3,500 dogs and cats. Nearly all of those were pulled from a nearby high-kill shelter. They have been able to make such great strides through the tireless work of their committed volunteer network of rescue and foster coordinators and families. They've even managed to hold weekend adoptions to locate loving homes for their rescues quickly and efficiently, all on a shoe-string budget. Soon, they plan to move into a newly purchased facility that will double their housing capacity, further bolstering their presence in the area as a welcome alternative to municipal shelters.
Animal Rescue of Southern Colorado
Based in Antonito, CO, this small yet committed animal welfare group focuses their efforts on two pressing needs: one, to house, care for and adopt out neglected and abandoned dogs; and two, to reduce pet overpopulation through spay-neuter services. Now barely into their second year of operation, this hardworking rescue managed to save 74 dogs in their first six months! Their goal - and fervent hope - is to never have to turn away a dog in need. Our financial grant has been earmarked to help cover the costs of constructing a modern kennel, which will allow them to rescue even more homeless animals. The new kennel will utilize solar panels to provide heat during harsh winters.
Bounce Animal Rescue
This foster-based rescue organization is located in beautiful Northern Colorado. Their goal is to grow to the size where they'll be able to rescue unwanted animals from high-kill shelters all over the country, place them with loving fosters and ultimately find them forever homes where they will be loved unconditionally. Even while they're out there saving lives, they're still focused on the well-being and adoption of unwanted animals. They're committed to building stronger community relationships, investing in technology and fundraising at the grassroots level. Bounce focuses on quality veterinary care, nutrition, spay/neuter programs, training and, of course, adoptions.
Boxer Aid and Rescue Coalition, Inc.
Headquartered in Tallahassee, Boxer Aid and Rescue Coalition is a not-for-profit rescue organization that operates a network of volunteers in north Florida and south Georgia. In their decade of operation, these devoted caretakers have helped to rescue and find forever homes for hundreds of Boxers. Each dog receives medical care, basic training (including a behavioral assessment), a caring foster environment and the promise that they’ll be ultimately be placed in homes where they will be treated "as a member of the family." Keep an eye on this group, as they plan to expand their organization to help provide care for senior and hospice dogs.
Become a Life's Abundance Representative and help us keep funding these worthwhile organizations.
