Owning a Teddy Bear in Oxnard
A Teddy Bear's days in Oxnard run smoothly thanks to the mild local climate and the breed's flexibility in a city setting. The temperate weather stays comfortable year round, so walks happen at almost any hour. The heavy seasonal habits other climates ask for don't apply here. Daily exercise for the breed runs 20 to 30 minutes, and a few short walks take care of most of it. Homes work in any size at eight to fifteen pounds. Apartments, townhomes, and family houses all fit, with a fenced backyard adding convenience but not being required in a city. The breed travels well to most places in California. The dog rides comfortably in a normal car, fits taxi seats, and is welcome at outdoor patios and the kinds of businesses that allow leashed dogs. Energy in the breed mirrors what the household brings. A calm urban home produces a calm dog, and a busier household raises a more outgoing dog, which lets Teddies fit a wide range of city households. That flexibility is one of the qualities buyers across different households comment on after the first month or two with the new dog at home.
Why Oxnard Families Choose The Puppy Lodge for Their Teddy Bear
Teddy Bears are one of the most gentle, people-oriented breeds you can find, and that sweet temperament is exactly why so many families, seniors, and first-time dog owners are drawn to them. But that naturally affectionate personality still needs to be nurtured from day one. A Teddy Bear puppy that isn’t handled regularly can become timid or clingy. Our kids are in with the puppies every day from the time they’re born, holding them, carrying them, and getting them used to the sounds and activity of a family. With seven kids giving them daily attention, our Teddy Bear puppies grow up confident and social, which is why so many of them go on to be wonderful therapy and emotional support dogs.
Teddy Bears are a designer breed, a beautiful cross between a Shih Tzu and a Bichon Frise, and the quality of that cross depends entirely on the parent dogs. All of our breeding dogs are healthy and genetically tested before they ever have a litter. We know what we’re producing, and we stand behind every puppy with a 3-year health guarantee. Our vet at Danville Veterinary Clinic visits our kennel every week, and we’re certified through the Purdue University Canine Care Program, one of the few breeders in the country who can say that.
Every puppy goes through Early Neurological Stimulation between days 3 and 16, which strengthens cardiovascular development, builds stress tolerance, and improves immune response. For a smaller breed that can sometimes be sensitive to new environments, ENS helps them adapt more quickly and settle into their new home with less stress.
Our puppies are raised in our climate-controlled kennel, with heated tile floors in winter and geothermal cooling in summer. Our adults and puppies have large outdoor play areas on our five-acre farm in Central Ohio. We’re a family of nine with over 13 years of experience raising dogs, and we love what we do. Every puppy comes up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, and with a blanket carrying mom’s scent. We welcome visitors by appointment and deliver puppies nationwide right to your door.
About Teddy Bears (Shichon, Zuchon)
The Teddy Bear, also known as the Shichon or Zuchon, is a designer breed created by cross-breeding a Shih Tzu with a Bichon Frise. They are a small, sturdy breed that usually stands 9 to 12 inches tall and weighs normally 8 to 15 pounds when fully grown. This breed was developed in the United States around the year 2000 with the goal of combining the best traits of both parent breeds into one compact, family friendly companion. Teddy Bears are known for being affectionate, gentle, and very social. They do well with children, get along with other dogs and household pets, and are often used as therapy dogs because of their calm and intuitive nature. They are smart and respond well to training, though they can show a stubborn streak from their Shih Tzu side from time to time. One of the biggest draws of this breed is their hypoallergenic, low-shedding coat, which makes them a strong option for households with allergy concerns. Their coat can be either wavy or curly, depending on which parent they take after more, and will need regular brushings and professional grooming every six to eight weeks. Teddy Bears have moderate energy levels and do not require a lot of exercise. A couple of short walks a day and some indoor playtime are usually enough to keep them happy and healthy. Their small size and laid back personality make them well suited for apartments, smaller homes, and families of all types, including seniors. With proper care and routine vet visits, Teddy Bears typically live 12 to 16 years, and they benefit from hybrid vigor, which often means fewer inherited health issues than their purebred parents.

How Puppy Delivery Works To Oxnard, California
The easiest way to get your Teddy Bear puppy home to Oxnard is through our professional flight nanny service. Your puppy flies in-cabin with a dedicated handler right into your nearest airport, right beside the handler the entire way. We also offer climate-controlled ground transport by delivery van if you prefer a door-to-door option. Since Oxnard is about 41 to 43 hours hours from our kennel in Ohio, an in-person pickup is a bigger commitment, but you’re always welcome to visit by appointment if you’d like to meet your puppy’s parents and see our operation firsthand.
Once your Teddy Bear puppy is reserved, our team will reach out to schedule delivery to Oxnard. Every puppy receives a final vet check before delivery. Ground deliveries depart each Tuesday morning, so just reserve and schedule by noon on Monday to make that week’s delivery. Whether your puppy arrives by delivery van or flight nanny, most families have their new puppy in their arms within just 4 days.
1. Flight Nanny Delivery
You can have your Teddy Bear puppy flown into a nearby commercial airport by a professional puppy flight nanny. Your puppy will sit right next to the flight nanny the entire flight and will never be stored with cargo or luggage. As with ground transport, your puppy will be cared for and looked after until you can pick them up at the airport. This option is more expensive but gets your puppy to you as quickly as possible. We can deliver to your nearest airport, including Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, and Bobe Hope / Hollywood Burbank Airport.
2. Ground Transport
We use a professional puppy delivery service to deliver your Teddy Bear puppy via a climate-controlled delivery van. These vans are temperature-controlled, and the puppies are well cared for on their journey to your home in Oxnard, California. This is our most popular delivery option, giving your puppy a safe, calm ride right to your door.
3. In-Person Pickup at Our Kennel
If you are willing to make the trip, you can come right to our home and kennel to pick up your Teddy Bear puppy yourself. This option lets you meet the puppy, their parents, and see our kennel in person.

A low-shedding coat is one of the reasons the Teddy Bear suits city apartments well. The wavy or curly hair stays put rather than dropping around close-quarters living rooms and bedrooms. Families with allergies do better with the breed than with typical shedding small dogs, which is one of the top reasons buyers in Oxnard reach out. Hair doesn't end up on couches or clothes the way it does with most small breeds.
Coat care doesn't change much in a mild climate. Two or three brushings a week, plus a salon every six to eight weeks, keeps the coat healthy year round. On warmer summer afternoons, walks shift to cooler hours since the breed handles heat less well than longer-nosed dogs. Temperate weather doesn't faze the wavy or curly coat. The apartment stays cleaner than with most other small breeds, which is one of the qualities buyers across Southern California Coast appreciate most about owning the dog in closer-quarters city living.
