Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in New Hampshire

Families looking at Teddy Bear puppies for sale in New Hampshire are usually about 11 to 14 hours of driving away from us, since The Puppy Lodge is based in Fresno, Ohio and New Hampshire sits at the far northeast corner of our regular delivery routes. That distance sounds long on paper, but it is a single leg for our transport van, and most New England families have their puppy home the day after it leaves.

A Teddy Bear is a Shih Tzu crossed with a Bichon Frise, usually 8 to 15 pounds full grown, with a plush wavy coat and the rounded face the name comes from. They are gentle, quiet for a small dog, and happiest sitting next to someone, which suits a condo in Nashua as well as a house on a few acres near the Lakes Region. If you want the full rundown before you decide, read our complete guide to Teddy Bear puppies.

Puppy Delivery to New Hampshire

Once a puppy is reserved, we set up a call to sort out how it gets to you. There are three ways.

Home delivery by van. This is what most New Hampshire families choose and what we would suggest for your state. A professional transport service drives the puppy door to door in a climate-controlled van, with an individual carrier, a vet check before departure, and updates along the way. New Hampshire falls in our regional pricing tier, currently $350 flat. Ground runs leave on Tuesday mornings, and because the East Coast route is a straight shot up I-90 and I-93, deliveries to Manchester, Concord, Portsmouth, and points north are usually next-day. Most families have their puppy within three days of scheduling.

Flight nanny. A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin beside them, never in cargo, and hands the puppy to you at baggage claim. Most flight nanny trips finish the same day. Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is the usual landing spot for New Hampshire, and families in the Seacoast sometimes prefer Portsmouth International at Pease or Boston Logan, which is a short drive from the southern half of the state. Flight nanny costs more than ground and is quoted per flight. The puppy has to be at least 8 weeks old and under 20 pounds including the carrier, which a Teddy Bear clears easily at 8 to 15 pounds. A health certificate is arranged before travel. Winter weather in northern New England can push a flight, so there needs to be some flexibility in the date.

Pickup at the kennel. You are welcome to come to Fresno by appointment, meet the puppy's mother, tour the buildings, and go over the vaccination records, microchip registration, and health guarantee in person. It is a long drive from New Hampshire and back, so most families skip it, but the door is open if you would rather see everything yourself. Whichever option you pick, the puppy travels with a bag of its current food and a blanket carrying its mother's scent.

Teddy Bear Puppy Breeder Serving New Hampshire Families

The Puppy Lodge is a family operation on five acres in Coshocton County, Ohio, run by the Nisley family, who have been raising dogs for over 13 years. We own every parent dog, and each one is genetically tested and picked for temperament, health, pedigree, and color genetics before any pairing happens. Litters are raised across a closed group of nearby kennels that work only with our dogs and follow the same standards we do, with a veterinarian from Danville Veterinary Clinic on site weekly to check adults and newborn litters.

Teddy Bears get a few things that matter for this cross specifically. Because both parent breeds were bred to stay close to people, this is a dog that can develop separation anxiety if alone time is not built in early, so every puppy runs the Early Neurological Stimulation protocol from day 3 through day 16 and gets daily handling from our children plus time around other dogs. That is a head start on stress tolerance, not a cure, and crate work at your end still matters. We also start potty and crate training before go-home. New Hampshire has a handful of small breeders, but the pool of health-tested Shih Tzu and Bichon parents up there is thin, and what you get from us is a documented pairing on both sides of the cross, a written three-year health guarantee covering genetic and congenital conditions, and a van that pulls into your driveway.

Teddy Bear FAQs Of New Hampshire Families

Q: How much does it cost to get a Teddy Bear puppy delivered to New Hampshire?

A: Ground delivery to New Hampshire is that $350, which covers the door-to-door drive in a climate-controlled van with a handler who checks on the puppy the whole way. Flight nanny service costs more and gets quoted per flight, since the price depends on the route and the airfare that week. Delivery is separate from the puppy price, which starts at $1,995. We sort the method out on a call after you reserve.

Q: Do Teddy Bears handle New Hampshire winters?

A: They do fine, with some help. The coat is medium length and dense, which holds warmth well, but snow and road salt cling to the fur around the legs and belly and need rinsing off after walks. Snow can also ball up in the paw hair, so keep the feet trimmed through the winter months. Most owners here shorten the coat in summer and let it grow back before the cold comes in.

Q: Is a Teddy Bear a good fit for an apartment in Manchester or Nashua?

A: Yes, this is one of the better small breeds for apartment living. They need about 20 to 30 minutes of activity a day, split between a walk and indoor play, and they are quieter than most small dogs, though they will bark when someone knocks. Their size means indoor play covers a lot of it on days when the weather is bad, which in New Hampshire is a fair number of days.

Q: Will a Teddy Bear work in a house with allergies?

A: No breed is completely allergy-free, and we would rather say so than make a claim we cannot back. The coat sheds very little and holds loose hair instead of dropping it, so less dander circulates, and that is often enough for mild to moderate allergies. Severe allergies are a different story. Call us and we can set up a visit or a FaceTime first, since the only real test is time with that particular puppy.

Q: What health issues should I ask about with this breed?

A: The Shih Tzu side can bring patellar luxation and dental crowding, and the Bichon side can bring skin and food allergies. Eye conditions show up on both sides, and dental disease is common across nearly every small breed rather than being specific to this one. Every parent dog is genetically tested and health screened before a pairing, and the three-year guarantee covers genetic and congenital conditions. Weight is the thing most in your control, since extra pounds put stress on small joints.

Q: Can I see the puppy before it ships to New Hampshire?

A: Yes. We do FaceTime calls before you commit, so you can watch the puppy move around and ask about temperament. If you are shopping for a therapy or emotional support dog, call us instead of picking off the listing, because we would rather match you on temperament than let you guess from photos. Call or text 330-790-5007 and we can walk through it.
