Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in Pennsylvania

Families looking at Teddy Bear puppies for sale in Pennsylvania are usually a short drive from where our puppies are raised. The Puppy Lodge is based in Fresno, Ohio, in Coshocton County, which puts us roughly two hours from the Pittsburgh area and closer to seven from Philadelphia depending on where you live in the state.

Teddy Bears are a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise cross, usually 8 to 15 pounds full grown, with a plush wavy coat that sheds very little. They are gentle, people focused dogs that do well in a Center City apartment, a rowhome in Lancaster, or a house with a yard outside Scranton. Every puppy is genetically tested on both sides of the pairing and raised by breeders we know personally.

Teddy Bear Puppy Delivery to Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania sits two to seven hours from our Ohio farm, which makes it one of the easier states for us to serve. There are three ways to get your puppy home, and we decide together which one fits after the puppy is reserved.

Farm pickup is the option we recommend for most Pennsylvania families, especially anyone west of Harrisburg. Pittsburgh, Erie, Altoona, and State College are all within a comfortable day trip. You come to Fresno by appointment, meet the puppy's mother, walk through the kennel, and go over the health records and microchip paperwork in person before you drive home. There is no fee for pickup.

Ground delivery is our most popular choice and is currently $350, flat to any Pennsylvania address. 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. Vans leave Tuesday mornings, and since Pennsylvania is on the eastern route, most families here get their puppy the next day.

Flight nanny is the fastest option and is quoted per flight since the cost depends on the route and airfare. A handler carries the puppy in the cabin under the seat, never in cargo, and hands them to you at baggage claim. Philadelphia International, Pittsburgh International, Lehigh Valley in Allentown, and Harrisburg International all work well for this. Most nanny deliveries finish the same day. The puppy needs to be at least 8 weeks old and under 20 pounds with the carrier, which no Teddy Bear comes close to, so weight is never the limiting factor for this breed.

One note specific to Teddy Bears: the Shih Tzu side gives them a slightly shorter muzzle, so we schedule summer transport around the heat and keep the van cool. Pennsylvania winters can also delay a flight, so we build in some flexibility when we book.

About Our Teddy Bear Breeding Program Serving Pennsylvania

The Puppy Lodge is a family business run by the Nisley family on five acres in the rolling hills of east-central Ohio. We have been raising dogs for over 13 years, and Teddy Bears have been part of that for most of it. We own every parent dog, and litters are raised through a closed network of local kennels near our farm that work only with our dogs and follow our health testing and genetic testing standards.

Buildings across the network are climate controlled with heated tile floors in winter and geothermal cooling in summer, with separate rooms where mothers stay with their litters through the early weeks. Every Teddy Bear puppy goes through the ENS protocol from day 3 through day 16, gets handled daily by our children, and starts crate and potty training before go-home at 8 weeks. That early work matters for this breed in particular, since Teddy Bears bond deeply and can struggle with being alone if nobody builds that tolerance early. It gives you a head start, not a finished job.

Being close enough for a Pennsylvania family to visit is part of the point. You can drive out, see where your puppy came from, and meet the mother before you commit. If you want more background on the breed before you decide, our complete guide to Teddy Bear puppies covers what to expect in the first year.

Teddy Bear FAQs Of Pennsylvania Families

Q: How big will a Teddy Bear get, and will one fit in a Philadelphia or Pittsburgh apartment?

A: Most land between 8 and 15 pounds and 9 to 12 inches tall, reaching full height around 9 months. They need about 20 to 30 minutes of activity a day, split between a walk and indoor play, which is easy to manage in a city apartment. They are quieter than most small breeds too, so shared walls are less of a concern than they would be with a more vocal dog.

Q: Are Teddy Bears a good choice for someone with allergies?

A: Not fully. No breed is, and we would rather be upfront than lose your trust later. What Teddy Bears have is a very low shedding coat that traps loose hair instead of dropping it, which keeps dander down. Mild to moderate allergies are often fine. Severe ones often are not. Pennsylvania families are close enough to visit, and an hour in the room with the puppy tells you more than any breed description can.

Q: How much grooming does the coat need in Pennsylvania weather?

A: Brush several times a week at minimum, and daily if you keep the coat long. Mats form first at the ears, chest, and behind the legs, and damp winters in the northeast make that a little quicker. Plan on a professional groomer every six to eight weeks. Many owners here go with a shorter puppy cut through the wet months to keep brushing time down.

Q: What health testing goes into your Teddy Bear pairings?

A: Every parent dog is genetically tested and health screened on both the Shih Tzu and Bichon side before we pair them. Small breeds across the board can carry things like patellar luxation, dental crowding, eye conditions, and allergies, and Teddy Bears are no exception, so we screen for what we can and pair with structure in mind. Danville Veterinary Clinic visits our kennel weekly and examines every litter more than once. Every puppy leaves with a three year written health guarantee covering genetic and congenital conditions. Call us at 330-790-5007 if you want to go through the specifics.

Q: Can I visit the farm before reserving a puppy?

A: Yes, and Pennsylvania families do it often. We are open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and visits are by appointment. You can meet the puppy and its mother, though the father is sometimes not on site if an outside stud was used. If a drive to Ohio is not workable, a FaceTime call works well for seeing a puppy before you commit.

Q: Do Teddy Bears do all right if I work during the day?

A: They can, but it takes planning. Both parent breeds were developed to stay close to people, so a Teddy Bear left alone for long stretches without preparation can get anxious. Crate training, gradual practice with short absences, and something to work on while you are gone make the difference. The ENS work we do in the first weeks builds some early stress tolerance, and the rest is on the routine you set at home.
