Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in New Jersey

If you have been looking for Teddy Bear puppies for sale in New Jersey, The Puppy Lodge raises them in east-central Ohio and brings them right to your door. A Teddy Bear is a Shih Tzu crossed with a Bichon Frise, and the name comes from the look. Round head, dark button eyes, small black nose, and a plush wavy coat that sheds very little. They grow to about 8 to 15 pounds and stay affectionate and easygoing their whole life.

New Jersey sits roughly seven to nine hours east of our farm, which puts the whole state on our regional delivery tier and usually means a next day arrival once transport is scheduled. Whether you are in Bergen County, down near Cherry Hill, or somewhere along the shore, getting a puppy home is a short trip for our drivers.

Available Teddy Bear Puppies for New Jersey Families

Every puppy below is listed with its price, coat, color, and gender, and you can reserve one online with a $200 deposit. That deposit is non-refundable but it moves to another available puppy if you change your mind about which one. We do not keep a waitlist, so puppies go first come first served and a listed puppy can be claimed by someone else the same day. Financing through Credova is available if you would rather spread the cost out.

Each puppy leaves at eight weeks or older, vet checked by Danville Veterinary Clinic, microchipped, current on shots and dewormings, and covered by a written three year health guarantee. If nothing here is quite right, upcoming litters are posted for reservation ahead of time. Delivery to New Jersey is arranged on a call after you reserve.

Teddy Bear Puppy Delivery to New Jersey

We offer three ways to get a puppy home, and we sort out which one fits you on a phone call after the puppy is reserved rather than at checkout.

Home delivery is what most New Jersey families choose. A professional transport service drives the puppy door to door in a climate controlled van with an individual carrier, a pre-transport vet check, and updates along the way. Right now New Jersey is $350, flat to any address in the state. Vans leave our farm on Tuesday mornings, and because the state is only about a seven to nine hour drive, most East Coast runs arrive the next day. Given that distance and how much of New Jersey traffic you would otherwise be sitting in, this is the option we usually recommend.

Flight nanny is the faster choice if you want the puppy the same day. A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin beside them, never in cargo, and hands it to you at baggage claim. Newark Liberty International is the most common landing spot, though Atlantic City International and Trenton-Mercer both work, and families in the southern counties sometimes find Philadelphia International easier to reach. Flight nanny is quoted per trip and costs more than ground transport. A health certificate is arranged before travel, and the puppy needs to be at least eight weeks old and under twenty pounds including the carrier, which a Teddy Bear clears without any trouble.

Farm pickup in Fresno, Ohio is open by appointment if you would rather make the drive. It is a long day from New Jersey, closer to fifteen or sixteen hours round trip, but some families like doing it. You get to meet the puppy's mother, walk through the kennel, and go over the vaccination records, microchip registration, and health guarantee in person before you leave with a bag of food and a blanket carrying the mother's scent.

One breed note on travel. Teddy Bears are mildly brachycephalic from the Shih Tzu side, so heat matters more for them than it does for a longer muzzled puppy. Both the van and the cabin are climate controlled, and in a New Jersey July we time the handoff so the puppy is not waiting outside in the middle of the afternoon.

About Our Teddy Bear Puppy Breeder Program Serving New Jersey

The Puppy Lodge is a family run operation on five acres in Coshocton County, Ohio, and the Nisley family has been raising dogs for more than thirteen years. We own every parent dog, and litters are raised across a closed network of local kennels near the farm that work only with our dogs and follow the same health testing, genetic testing, and breeding standards we hold our own kennel to. The buildings are climate controlled with heated tile floors in winter and geothermal cooling in summer, and mothers give birth and stay with their litters in separate quiet rooms.

With Teddy Bears specifically, both breeds behind the cross are genetically tested before a pairing, which matters for a mix carrying Shih Tzu knee and dental tendencies on one side and Bichon skin and allergy tendencies on the other. Those are common concerns across small dogs generally, not unique to this breed, and testing plus a weekly on-site visit from our veterinarian is how we work to keep them out of the puppies we place. Every Teddy Bear goes through the ENS protocol from day three through day sixteen and is handled daily by our children, which gives them a head start on the separation anxiety this breed can develop. There are closer breeders to New Jersey, and the reason families still order from Ohio is the testing behind every pairing, the three year written guarantee, and being able to see the same program produce this cross for over a decade. If you want the full background on the breed first, our complete Teddy Bear puppy guide walks through what to expect before one comes home.

Teddy Bear FAQs Of New Jersey Families

Q: Do Teddy Bears do well in a New Jersey apartment or condo?

A: Yes, and this is one of the better breeds in our program for it. They need about twenty to thirty minutes of activity a day, split between a short walk and indoor play, so a walk around Hoboken or Jersey City in the morning and some toy time at night covers it. They are also quieter than most small dogs. They will announce someone at the door, but they are not the sort to bark through an evening.

Q: We both commute into the city. Can a Teddy Bear handle being alone all day?

A: They can, but it takes work on your end. 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 builds that tolerance early. Crate training, short practice absences that get longer, and puzzle toys or a midday walker make a big difference. The ENS work we do in the first weeks helps them handle stress better, but it is a head start rather than a fix.

Q: How often will a Teddy Bear need grooming?

A: Plan on brushing several times a week with a slicker or pin brush, more often if you keep the coat long, and a professional groom every six to eight weeks. Mats show up first at the ears, chest, and behind the legs. New Jersey summers are humid enough that the floppy ears need a weekly check and cleaning, since trapped moisture is what leads to ear infections. The hair around the eyes grows fast and needs trimming so it does not irritate them.

Q: What do Teddy Bear puppies cost?

A: Our Teddy Bear puppies start at $1,995, and the exact price depends on color, coat type, and gender. The reservation deposit is $200 and applies to the total. New Jersey delivery is a separate $350 flat fee for ground transport, or a per trip quote if you go with a flight nanny. Financing is available through Credova and you can apply online.

Q: Someone in our house has allergies. Is this a safe pick?

A: No, and we would not claim it about any breed. The allergen is dander and saliva protein rather than hair, but hair is how it travels, and this coat keeps most of what it sheds. That matters more in a smaller home where the air does not move much. Mild reactions are usually fine. Serious ones often are not. Come and meet the puppy, or start with a video call, before you decide.

Q: Can we see the puppy before it ships to New Jersey?

A: Absolutely. We do FaceTime calls before you commit so you can see the puppy moving around and ask about temperament, which is worth doing if you are looking for a calmer one for therapy or emotional support work. You are also welcome at the kennel by appointment to meet the puppy and its mother. The father is sometimes not on site if an outside stud was used.
