Owning a Teddy Bear in Greensboro
A Teddy Bear's daily routine in Greensboro, the a Piedmont Triad regional city, fits around 20 to 30 minutes of exercise and the hot, humid city climate across most of the year. Through summer, walks move to morning and evening hours. The shorter Shih Tzu muzzle means slower cooling than longer-nosed breeds get, so AC covers peak afternoon hours. Brushing the wavy coat several times a week keeps tangles down during humid weeks. Indoor play fills in across the worst weeks. Apartments, condos, and family houses all suit the eight to fifteen pound build in a city setting, and most of the day is spent indoors near people anyway. The breed travels well in a city. The dog fits taxi seats, rideshare cars, and air-conditioned errands, and is welcome at most outdoor patios and pet-friendly businesses around town at cooler hours. Housetraining tends to come together in two to four weeks once a city puppy has a steady schedule, and the breed picks up routines quickly. Indoor accidents drop off fast in an apartment once feeding times and walks settle into a pattern, and the curly coat spot-cleans easily if a stray puddle slips through.
Why Greensboro Families Choose The Puppy Lodge for Their Teddy Bear
Teddy Bears are one of the most gentle, people-oriented breeds you can find, and that sweet temperament is exactly why so many families, seniors, and first-time dog owners are drawn to them. But that naturally affectionate personality still needs to be nurtured from day one. A Teddy Bear puppy that isn’t handled regularly can become timid or clingy. Our kids are in with the puppies every day from the time they’re born, holding them, carrying them, and getting them used to the sounds and activity of a family. With seven kids giving them daily attention, our Teddy Bear puppies grow up confident and social, which is why so many of them go on to be wonderful therapy and emotional support dogs.
Teddy Bears are a designer breed, a beautiful cross between a Shih Tzu and a Bichon Frise, and the quality of that cross depends entirely on the parent dogs. All of our breeding dogs are healthy and genetically tested before they ever have a litter. We know what we’re producing, and we stand behind every puppy with a 3-year health guarantee. Our vet at Danville Veterinary Clinic visits our kennel every week, and we’re certified through the Purdue University Canine Care Program, one of the few breeders in the country who can say that.
Every puppy goes through Early Neurological Stimulation between days 3 and 16, which strengthens cardiovascular development, builds stress tolerance, and improves immune response. For a smaller breed that can sometimes be sensitive to new environments, ENS helps them adapt more quickly and settle into their new home with less stress.
Our puppies are raised in our climate-controlled kennel, with heated tile floors in winter and geothermal cooling in summer. Our adults and puppies have large outdoor play areas on our five-acre farm in Central Ohio. We’re a family of nine with over 13 years of experience raising dogs, and we love what we do. Every puppy comes up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, and with a blanket carrying mom’s scent. We welcome visitors by appointment and deliver puppies nationwide right to your door.
About Teddy Bears (Shichon, Zuchon)
The Teddy Bear, also known as the Shichon or Zuchon, is a designer breed created by cross-breeding a Shih Tzu with a Bichon Frise. They are a small, sturdy breed that usually stands 9 to 12 inches tall and weighs normally 8 to 15 pounds when fully grown. This breed was developed in the United States around the year 2000 with the goal of combining the best traits of both parent breeds into one compact, family friendly companion. Teddy Bears are known for being affectionate, gentle, and very social. They do well with children, get along with other dogs and household pets, and are often used as therapy dogs because of their calm and intuitive nature. They are smart and respond well to training, though they can show a stubborn streak from their Shih Tzu side from time to time. One of the biggest draws of this breed is their hypoallergenic, low-shedding coat, which makes them a strong option for households with allergy concerns. Their coat can be either wavy or curly, depending on which parent they take after more, and will need regular brushings and professional grooming every six to eight weeks. Teddy Bears have moderate energy levels and do not require a lot of exercise. A couple of short walks a day and some indoor playtime are usually enough to keep them happy and healthy. Their small size and laid back personality make them well suited for apartments, smaller homes, and families of all types, including seniors. With proper care and routine vet visits, Teddy Bears typically live 12 to 16 years, and they benefit from hybrid vigor, which often means fewer inherited health issues than their purebred parents.

How Puppy Delivery Works To Greensboro, North Carolina
Getting your Teddy Bear puppy home to Greensboro is easy! Since Greensboro is just a short drive from our family kennel in Ohio, many of our Greensboro families love making the trip to pick up their puppy in person. The drive runs about 5 to 7 hours, and it’s a great chance to see where your puppy was born and raised. If you’d rather have your puppy come to you, we also offer climate-controlled ground transport right to your door in Greensboro, or flight nanny service into your nearest airport.
Once your Teddy Bear puppy is reserved, our team will reach out to schedule delivery to Greensboro. Every puppy receives a final vet check before delivery. Ground deliveries depart each Tuesday morning, so just reserve and schedule by noon on Monday to make that week’s delivery. Whether your puppy arrives by delivery van or flight nanny, most families have their new puppy in their arms within just 2 days.
1. In-Person Pickup at Our Kennel
If you are willing to make the trip, you can come right to our home and kennel to pick up your Teddy Bear puppy yourself. This option lets you meet the puppy, their parents, and see our kennel in person. We openly welcome visitors by appointment and love showing people our breeding operation so they can see for themselves why we are a step above your average breeder.
2. Ground Transport
We use a professional puppy delivery service to deliver your Teddy Bear puppy via a climate-controlled delivery van. These vans are temperature-controlled, and the puppies are well cared for on their journey to your home in Greensboro, North Carolina. This is our most popular delivery option, giving your puppy a safe, calm ride right to your door.
3. Flight Nanny Delivery
You can have your Teddy Bear puppy flown into a nearby commercial airport by a professional puppy flight nanny. Your puppy will sit right next to the flight nanny the entire flight and will never be stored with cargo or luggage. As with ground transport, your puppy will be cared for and looked after until you can pick them up at the airport. This option is a little more expensive, but it gets your puppy to you in the quickest time possible. We can deliver to your nearest airport, including Piedmont Triad International Airport, and Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

The Shih Tzu side of the breed brings a slightly shorter muzzle, which slows cooling and adds heat sensitivity compared to longer-nosed small dogs. In a hot humid city like Greensboro, that shapes the daily routine through most of the year. Through summer, walks happen at morning and evening hours, AC covers the middle of the day, and the breed actually wants to be inside during peak heat. Once the pattern is set, the household routine works around those few habits easily.
Beyond the heat-related habits, daily life with the breed in a city setting stays simple. Hot city sidewalks are harder on short legs than people expect, so timing summer walks for cooler hours matters. A few brushings a week keep the wavy or curly coat from holding onto humidity and matting. Six to eight weeks between salon visits is standard, with a shorter trim through summer keeping the dog comfortable. Twenty to thirty minutes a day covers the breed's exercise needs year round.
