Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in Michigan
Families looking at Teddy Bear puppies for sale in Michigan are usually after the same thing: a small, plush, gentle dog that wants to be in the room with everybody. That is the Shichon, a Shih Tzu crossed with a Bichon Frise, and it is one of the calmest companion breeds we raise. They finish between 8 and 15 pounds, carry a wavy coat that sheds very little, and settle just as well into a Grand Rapids condo as a house outside Ann Arbor.
We are in Fresno, Ohio, which puts the Michigan state line about three hours from our door and Detroit around four. Grand Rapids and Lansing sit in the middle of the state, and the Upper Peninsula runs closer to eleven. Almost every Michigan family has a short, easy option for getting their puppy home.
Available Teddy Bear Puppies for Michigan Families
Every puppy below is listed with its price, color, coat, and gender, and you can reserve one online with a $200 deposit. There is no waitlist here. Puppies go first come, first served, so a puppy listed this morning can be spoken for by tonight.
Each one goes home at eight weeks or older with a three-year written health guarantee, a vet exam from Danville Veterinary Clinic, microchip registration, current vaccinations and dewormings, registration paperwork, a bag of the food it has been eating, and a blanket that smells like its mother. Financing is available through Credova, and we do FaceTime calls if you want to see a puppy move around before you commit. We deliver to every part of Michigan, and we sort out how once the puppy is yours.

Puppy Delivery to Michigan
After you reserve, we call you and pick the method together. Michigan families have three.
Pickup at the farm. You drive to Fresno, Ohio, meet the puppy's mother, walk the kennel, and go over the health records and microchip paperwork in person before you leave with your puppy. From Toledo it is barely two and a half hours, and from Detroit or Ann Arbor it is a comfortable half-day round trip down US-23 and I-71. If you live anywhere in the southern third of Michigan, this is the option we point you to first. Appointments Monday through Saturday.
Ground delivery. A professional transport service drives the puppy to your door in a climate-controlled van with an individual carrier, a pre-transport vet check, and updates along the way. Michigan is in our regional tier, currently $350 flat for any address in the state. Vans leave Tuesday mornings, and Michigan is close enough that most runs are next-day. Detroit, Lansing, and Kalamazoo are typically a single day out. The Upper Peninsula takes longer because of the drive up and over the bridge, so plan on two days if you are in Marquette or Escanaba.
Flight nanny. A handler carries the puppy in the cabin next to her, never in cargo, and meets you at baggage claim. Most flights finish same-day. We fly into Detroit Metropolitan (DTW), Gerald R. Ford International in Grand Rapids (GRR), Bishop International in Flint, Capital Region in Lansing, Cherry Capital in Traverse City, and Sawyer International in the Upper Peninsula. Flight nanny is quoted per route and costs more than ground, and it makes the most sense for northern Michigan and the U.P., where a drive would take most of two days. A grown Teddy Bear stays well under the 20-pound cabin limit, and because it rides in the cabin the shorter Shih Tzu muzzle is never a problem the way it can be for snub-nosed dogs in cargo. We arrange the health certificate before travel.
Teddy Bear Puppy Breeder Serving Michigan
The Puppy Lodge has been raising dogs for over thirteen years from a five-acre farm in the hills of Coshocton County. The Nisley family owns every parent dog, and litters are raised across a small closed network of kennels near us that work only with our dogs and follow our health testing, genetic testing, and breeding standards. Nothing comes in from outside that network.
For Teddy Bears specifically, both sides of the pairing are genetically tested and health screened before we breed, since the Shih Tzu and the Bichon each bring their own things to watch for. Knees, eyes, and skin are all part of that. Structure factors into which dogs we pair. Our vet from Danville Veterinary Clinic comes to the kennel weekly and sees the adults and the newborn litters on a set schedule.
Every Teddy Bear puppy goes through Early Neurological Stimulation from day three through day sixteen, then spends the next several weeks being handled and played with by our kids and around other dogs. That matters more for this breed than most. Teddy Bears bond hard and can develop separation anxiety if alone time is never built in, so an early start on stress tolerance and crate work gives you something to build on. Potty and crate training begin before go-home.
Being four hours from Detroit instead of forty minutes is a fair thing to weigh. What you get for the drive is a program where the parents are known and tested, where the same people raise every litter to the same standard, and where a three-year written guarantee backs it up. If you want to see all of it first, come out. Visitors are welcome by appointment, and plenty of Michigan families make the trip. Our complete guide to Teddy Bear puppies covers the breed in more depth if you are still deciding.
