When you cross a shih tzu with a bichon frise, the result is a real-life teddy bear dog called the Shichon. In fact, many people call this the teddy bear dog! Given its small stature and gentle disposition, the shichon is a great pet for seniors and families with kids. Shichons love other dogs as well as people and can suffer with separation anxiety if they don’t have company and attention throughout the day. Half an hour of play or walking every day is enough exercise for most Shichons. They grow up to 7 kilograms in weight and up to 30 centimetres in height.

There are 600,000 pet dogs in New York City alone—plus 400,000 pet cats. The first official dog park in NYC was Tompkins Square Dog Run, opened in 1990. Tompkins is an off-leash haven for the city’s canines, featuring wading pools in the summer and two designated play areas for large dogs and small dogs. Outside of the state’s capital city, you can chill with Fido on the dog-friendly beaches, B&B getaways, campsites and countless eateries. New Yorkers stand out as usual with their unique taste, their favourite dog breed being the Cockapoo! That’s a mix between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle, and just the right size and temperament for apartment living.
New York City has more than 20 registered dog spas.
