Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in Colorado

Families looking at Teddy Bear puppies for sale in Colorado work with us from our five-acre farm in Fresno, Ohio, and we handle the whole trip out to the Front Range and the Western Slope. Teddy Bears are a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise cross, usually 8 to 15 pounds full grown, with a plush wavy coat and the rounded face the name comes from. They are calm, they stay close to their people, and they settle into a Denver apartment about as easily as a house outside Fort Collins.

Colorado sits roughly 18 to 23 hours from us by road depending on whether you are in Burlington or out past Grand Junction. That distance is worked out on a call after you reserve, and both ground transport and a flight nanny into Denver are used regularly for Colorado families.

Teddy Bear Puppy Delivery to Colorado

Three ways to get a puppy home, and we talk them through with you once the reservation is in.

Home delivery is the one most Colorado families choose. A professional transport service drives door to door in a climate-controlled van with the puppy in its own carrier, a vet check before departure, and updates along the way. The fee to Colorado is currently $450, flat to any address in the state. Vans leave on Tuesday mornings and Colorado is generally a two to three day run, so most families have their puppy within about three days of scheduling. Nobody has to drive to an airport or fill out a form at a cargo counter.

Flight nanny is the faster option and usually finishes the same day. A handler carries the puppy in the cabin under the seat, never in cargo, sends photos through the trip, and meets you at baggage claim. Denver International is the common arrival for most of the state, with Colorado Springs Airport working better for El Paso County and the southern half, and Grand Junction Regional for the Western Slope. This is quoted per flight rather than a flat fee. The puppy has to be at least eight weeks, under 20 pounds with the carrier, and traveling with a health certificate, which a Teddy Bear clears easily at that size. Winter weather at DIA can push a flight, so we build in some flexibility.

Farm pickup is open to anyone by appointment. It is a long drive from Colorado, though a few families make it part of a trip east. You get to meet the puppy's mother, walk the kennel, and go through the paperwork with us in person.

If you are on the Front Range and want the puppy quickly, the flight nanny into Denver is worth the extra cost. If a couple of extra days is fine, ground delivery is simpler and cheaper. One thing worth mentioning for this breed either way: the shorter Shih Tzu muzzle means we avoid scheduling transport during the hottest stretch of the day in summer, and the vans are climate-controlled the whole way.

Teddy Bear Puppy Breeder Serving Colorado Families

The Puppy Lodge is run by the Nisley family in the rolling hills of Coshocton County, about twenty minutes southeast of Millersburg. We have been raising dogs for over 13 years. All of our adult dogs belong to us and are genetically tested and chosen for temperament, health, pedigree, and color genetics, and litters are raised across a small closed network of local kennels that follow our standards and work only with our dogs. Danville Veterinary Clinic comes out weekly on a set schedule to check adults and newborn litters.

For Teddy Bears specifically, we test both the Shih Tzu and the Bichon side before any pairing, since each breed carries its own concerns. Every puppy runs the ENS protocol from day 3 through day 16 and is handled daily by our kids, which matters for a breed that bonds this hard. We are a long way from Colorado, and the tradeoff for that distance is a program you can check on directly by phone, a written three-year guarantee, and 50-plus Google reviews to read before you send a deposit. If you want the full picture on the breed first, our complete Teddy Bear puppy guide covers what to expect before one comes home.

Teddy Bear FAQs Of Colorado Families

Q: How does a Teddy Bear handle Colorado's dry air and altitude?

A: The dry climate is generally easier on this coat than humid states are, and it tends to help with the ear infections floppy-eared dogs are prone to. Dry air can make skin itchier, so a good conditioner at grooming and keeping the coat off the eyes helps. On altitude, these are mildly brachycephalic dogs, so keep exertion moderate above 7,000 feet and let them set the pace on a walk in Boulder or up near Estes Park.

Q: Are Teddy Bears alright in a Denver apartment?

A: They are one of the better small breeds for it. They need about 20 to 30 minutes a day between a walk and indoor play, they are quieter than most small dogs, and they will announce a knock at the door without barking through the afternoon. Puzzle toys and short training games cover a lot of their mental needs on days when the weather keeps you inside.

Q: What about winter and snow?

A: A Teddy Bear coat is medium length and plush, which holds up fine for a short walk in the snow, though snow packs into the fur between the paw pads and behind the legs. Keeping the feet trimmed and wiping them down after a walk handles most of it. Some Colorado owners go with a shorter puppy cut through the winter months for that reason.

Q: Will a Teddy Bear be okay if I work full time?

A: This is the honest trade-off with the breed. Both parent breeds were bred to stay close to people, so a Teddy Bear bonds deeply and can struggle with long stretches alone if nobody works on it early. Crate training, short practice absences that get longer over time, and something to chew on while you are out all help. The ENS work we do gives them a head start on handling stress, though it is not a substitute for building that routine yourself.

Q: Is a Teddy Bear a good fit if someone in the house has allergies?

A: No breed is completely allergen free. What this coat does is hold loose hair instead of dropping it, which means less dander moving around the house, and for a lot of mildly or moderately allergic families that is enough. Severe allergies are a different story. One thing worth factoring in is that Colorado's dry air keeps dander airborne longer than a humid climate does. Time with the specific puppy is the only way to find out, and we can set up a call to talk it through.

Q: How much do your Teddy Bear puppies cost?

A: Teddy Bear pricing starts at $1,995 and moves with color, coat type, and gender, so the current listing page is the place to check. Delivery to Colorado is separate at $450 for ground transport, or quoted per flight for a nanny. The deposit is $200, non-refundable but transferable to another available puppy, and financing is available through Credova.
