Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in Texas
Families looking at Teddy Bear puppies for sale in Texas work with us the same way families two hours from our Ohio farm do, and the distance changes less than you would think. Our Teddy Bears are a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise cross, usually 8 to 15 pounds grown, with the plush wavy coat and round dark eyes that gave the breed its name. They are gentle, they stay close to their people, and they settle into a Houston apartment as easily as a place outside Lubbock.
Texas sits between 16 and 26 hours by road from our farm in Fresno, Ohio, depending on whether you are in Texarkana or out near El Paso. That puts the state in our national delivery tier, and it also means most Texas families end up choosing between a climate-controlled van at the door or a flight nanny into one of the big Texas airports. Both are covered further down the page.

We do not keep a waitlist, so puppies go first come, first served and a puppy listed this morning can be reserved by someone else this afternoon.

Teddy Bear Puppy Delivery to Texas
Three ways to get your puppy home from Ohio, and we settle on one over the phone after the reservation, not during checkout.
Home delivery is the option most families pick nationwide. A professional pet transport service drives the puppy door to door in a custom climate-controlled van, in an individual carrier, with a veterinary checkup before the trip and updates along the way. Texas falls in our national tier, currently $450 flat to any address in the state. Ground runs leave on Tuesday mornings, and because Texas is a long haul the trip usually takes two to three days depending on the route and where in the state you are. Someone in Beaumont or Tyler is on the shorter end of that. Amarillo, Midland, and El Paso sit on the longer end.
Flight nanny is worth a serious look from Texas, and it is the option we lean toward recommending for families here. A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin on a commercial flight, never in cargo, in an airline-approved soft carrier under the seat, and hands the puppy to you at baggage claim. Most of these are done same day. Nannies fly into the airports you would expect, including Dallas Fort Worth International, George Bush Intercontinental and Hobby in Houston, Austin-Bergstrom, San Antonio International, and Dallas Love Field. The puppy needs to be at least 8 weeks old, under 20 pounds with the carrier, which no Teddy Bear comes close to, and we arrange the health certificate before travel. Flight nanny costs more than ground and gets quoted per flight, since it depends on the route and the date. Weather delays happen, so a little flexibility on the date helps.
Farm pickup in Fresno, Ohio is open to Texas families by appointment, though it is a long drive and most people skip it. It is a genuine option if you are already headed through the Midwest. You would meet the puppy's mother, tour the kennel, and go over the vaccination records, microchip registration, and health guarantee in person before heading home.
One Texas-specific note on the breed. Teddy Bears inherit a slightly shortened muzzle from the Shih Tzu side, so they handle heat less well than a longer-nosed dog. That matters for a July arrival in Dallas or San Antonio. Both delivery vans and the cabin of a plane are climate controlled the whole way, and the handoff is short, so the trip itself is not the concern. The first few weeks at home are where it counts. Walk early or after sunset, keep water available, and skip the midday concrete.

Teddy Bear Puppy Breeder Serving Texas Families
The Puppy Lodge is a family business run by the Nisley family on five acres in the rolling hills of east-central Ohio, and we have been raising dogs for over 13 years. We own every parent dog, and each one is genetically and health tested and chosen for temperament, pedigree, and coat and color genetics before any pairing happens. Litters are raised across a closed network of local kennels near the farm by breeders who work only with our dogs and follow our standards, with a veterinarian from Danville Veterinary Clinic visiting weekly to check adults and newborn litters.
With Teddy Bears we test both sides of the cross, the Shih Tzu and the Bichon, because the things worth screening for come from both parents. Knees, eyes, and dental structure all factor into how we pair, and every puppy goes through the ENS protocol from day 3 through day 16, which builds early stress tolerance. That matters more in this breed than most, since Teddy Bears bond hard and can develop separation anxiety if alone time is not built up on purpose. That is the trade-off of a dog bred to stay near you. Our head start helps, but the work continues at your house.
Texas has plenty of local breeders, and the question is what you can find out about the parents. Because we own ours and test them, we can tell you what a pairing has produced before, what the coat is likely to do, and roughly where a puppy will land in the 9 to 12 inch range. Every puppy leaves vet checked, microchipped, current on shots and dewormings, with a three-year written health guarantee covering genetic and congenital conditions, a bag of food, and a blanket carrying its mother's scent. Go-home age is 8 weeks at the earliest, no exceptions. For more on the breed itself, our complete Teddy Bear puppy guide covers what to expect before one comes home.
