Yes, the Teddy dog is real. It is a cross between a Standard Poodle and a Bichon Frise. The Teddy has all the best qualities of both breeds: it is intelligent and easily trained like the Standard Poodle, and it has a gentle disposition and loves to cuddle like the Bichon Frise. The Teddy is also hypoallergenic, which means it is unlikely to cause allergies in people who are allergic to dogs.
