Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in Delaware
Delaware families searching for Teddy Bear puppies for sale usually find us before they find a nearby breeder, and the distance matters less than it sounds. Our farm sits in Fresno, Ohio, roughly seven to eight hours from Wilmington by road, which puts every corner of the state inside one driving day. New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties all sit on the same eastbound route, so a puppy headed to a Newark townhouse and one headed to a place outside Lewes travel the same way.
The Teddy Bear is a Shih Tzu crossed with a Bichon Frise, also called a Shichon. Full grown they run 8 to 15 pounds and stand 9 to 12 inches, with a plush wavy coat, dark round eyes, and floppy ears. They are gentle with children, easy with other pets, and content on a 20 to 30 minute walk, which suits Delaware living whether that means a Riverfront apartment or a yard off Route 1.
Reserve a Teddy Bear Puppy for Your Delaware Home
The puppies shown here are the ones ready to go home now. Each one is vet checked by Danville Veterinary Clinic, microchipped, current on shots and dewormings, and comes with a written three year health guarantee covering genetic and congenital conditions. Both parents are dogs we own and have genetically tested for health, temperament, and coat traits before the pairing was made. Puppies leave at eight weeks or older, already started on potty and crate work.
Reserving happens right on the site with a $200 deposit, and financing through Credova is available if that helps. We do not keep a waitlist, so a puppy listed this morning can be claimed by someone else this afternoon. If nothing here is the right fit, upcoming litters are posted for reservation too. Delivery to Delaware is arranged after the puppy is yours, and a phone or FaceTime call before you commit is always fine.

Puppy Delivery to Delaware
Once a puppy is reserved we set up a call and work out how it gets to you. Three options, and Delaware families realistically use two of them.
Home delivery by van. A pet transport service drives the puppy to your door in a climate controlled van with its own carrier, a vet check before departure, and updates along the way. Delivery to Delaware currently runs $350, flat statewide. Vans leave Ohio on Tuesday mornings, and because the state is a straight eastbound run, Delaware is usually a next day arrival. Most families have their puppy within three days of booking the trip. This is what we recommend for almost everyone in the state. Eight hours in a van with a driver who does this for a living beats eight hours of your own driving, and there is no airport to navigate.
Farm pickup in Ohio. You can come to Fresno by appointment, meet the mother, walk through the kennel, and go over the vaccination record, microchip registration, and health guarantee in person. From Wilmington it is a long day out and back, and from Sussex County it is longer. Some families still prefer it, and we are glad to host. Visits run Monday through Saturday.
Flight nanny. A handler carries the puppy in the cabin beside them, never in cargo, and hands it to you at baggage claim. Most flights finish the same day. Delaware has no large hub of its own, so nanny flights land at Philadelphia International for New Castle County, Baltimore/Washington International for Dover and central Kent County, and Salisbury Regional if you are down near the beaches. Wilmington's own airport has only limited scheduled service, so it rarely works for this. Flight nanny costs more than ground and gets quoted per flight, and it needs a health certificate plus some flexibility if weather pushes the schedule.
Size is never the obstacle with this breed. A Teddy Bear at eight weeks weighs a few pounds and sits well under the 20 pound carrier limit airlines set. The one thing we do watch is heat. The Shih Tzu side gives these puppies a slightly shortened muzzle, so a July van with climate control is a better ride than a summer afternoon on a hot tarmac, and we schedule around that when it comes up.

The Puppy Lodge, a Teddy Bear Puppy Breeder Serving Delaware
We are the Nisley family, nine of us on five acres in the rolling hills of Coshocton County, and we have been raising dogs for more than 13 years. Litters are raised across a small closed network of local kennels near the farm, all working only with our dogs and held to the same health testing, genetic testing, and facility standards. No puppy comes from outside that group. Buildings are climate controlled with heated tile floors in winter and geothermal cooling in summer, and mothers have their own rooms with their litters through the early weeks.
For Teddy Bears specifically, we test both the Shih Tzu and the Bichon side before any pairing, which matters in a cross where each parent breed brings its own set of risks. Knees, eyes, and dental structure all factor into which dogs we put together. Every puppy runs the ENS protocol from day three through day sixteen, then gets daily handling from our kids. That early work builds stress tolerance, which is worth something in a breed that bonds hard and can struggle with alone time.
Delaware is a small state with a thin bench of Teddy Bear breeders, so most families here are choosing between a drive and a search. What eight hours buys you is a program where the parent dogs are owned and tested by one operation, a vet visits weekly on a set schedule, and the three year guarantee is written down. Our reference guide, everything you should know about Teddy Bear puppies, covers the breed in more depth if you are still deciding.
