Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in Virginia
Families looking at Teddy Bear puppies for sale in Virginia are usually about a day's drive from where our puppies are raised. The Puppy Lodge is based in Fresno, Ohio, and most of Virginia sits five to nine hours away, with the northern Shenandoah Valley on the close end and Hampton Roads on the far end. That distance matters less than it used to, since ground transport reaches every part of the state and a flight nanny can be at Dulles or Richmond the same day.
Teddy Bears are a Shih Tzu crossed with a Bichon Frise, sometimes listed as a Shichon. They grow to about 9 to 12 inches and 8 to 15 pounds, carry a plush wavy coat that sheds very little, and settle into apartments in Arlington as easily as they do into a house outside Roanoke.
Available Teddy Bear Puppies for Virginia Families
Every puppy below is listed live with its price, photos, and a reserve button. Teddy Bears here are priced from $1,995, with the spread coming from coat type, color, and gender. There is no waitlist. Puppies go first come, first served, so a puppy showing as available today can be reserved by another family before the evening. A $200 deposit holds one, and it is transferable to another available puppy if plans change. Financing runs through Credova and is applied for online.
Each puppy leaves at eight weeks or older with a vet exam, microchip, current vaccinations and dewormings, registration, a three-year written health guarantee, a bag of food, and a blanket that carries its mother's scent. We deliver to Virginia, and we can walk you through the options on a call once your puppy is reserved.

Puppy Delivery to Virginia
We arrange transportation after a puppy is reserved, not before, so the timing works around your schedule. There are three ways to get a Teddy Bear home to Virginia.
Home delivery by van. Ground transport is what most Virginia families choose. A professional pet transport service drives the puppy door to door in a climate-controlled van, in an individual carrier, with a veterinary checkup before departure and updates along the way. Virginia is currently $350, flat to any address in the state. Runs leave Ohio on Tuesday mornings, and because Virginia is on the East Coast leg of the route, most puppies arrive the next day. Nothing about the trip involves an airport.
Flight nanny. A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight, never in cargo, and hands it to you at baggage claim. Most of these are done in a single day. Common arrival points for Virginia families are Washington Dulles, Reagan National, Richmond International, Norfolk International, and Roanoke-Blacksburg. The puppy travels in an airline-approved soft carrier under the seat, and a health certificate is arranged ahead of time. Cost is quoted per flight and runs higher than the van. A grown Teddy Bear tops out around 15 pounds, so the airline limit of 20 pounds including carrier is never a problem for this breed. In-cabin travel also sidesteps the cargo restrictions that some airlines put on short-muzzled dogs, and Teddy Bears do inherit a slightly shorter muzzle from the Shih Tzu side.
Pickup at the Ohio farm. You are welcome to come to us by appointment. Families in far northwestern Virginia near Winchester are roughly five hours out, which makes a day trip workable. From Richmond, Norfolk, or Virginia Beach it is closer to eight or nine hours each way, so ground delivery usually makes more sense. Coming in person means you can meet the puppy's mother, tour the kennel, and go over the health records and guarantee face to face.
What we recommend for Virginia: home delivery for most of the state. If you are in Northern Virginia or the upper Shenandoah Valley and want to see where your puppy came from, the drive is short enough to be worth it. If you need the puppy home fast, take the flight nanny into Dulles or Richmond. One note on summer scheduling: Teddy Bears handle heat less well than long-nosed breeds, so for a July or August arrival in the Tidewater area we plan the handoff for the cooler part of the day.

Teddy Bear Puppy Breeder Serving Virginia
The Puppy Lodge is a family operation run by the Nisley family on five acres in Coshocton County, Ohio. We have been raising dogs for over 13 years. Every parent dog is owned by us, individually genetically tested, and chosen for temperament, health, pedigree, and coat and color genetics. Litters are raised across a closed network of local kennels near the farm by breeders who work only with our dogs and follow our health testing and breeding standards. The buildings have heated tile floors for winter and geothermal cooling for summer, with indoor and outdoor play space and separate rooms where mothers stay with their litters through the early weeks. A veterinarian from Danville Veterinary Clinic comes out weekly on a set schedule.
For Teddy Bears specifically, we run the ENS protocol on every puppy from day 3 through day 16, which builds early stress tolerance. That matters more for this cross than for most, because both parent breeds were built to stay close to people and a Teddy Bear can develop separation anxiety if alone time is never practiced. Our children handle and play with the puppies daily, potty and crate training start before go-home, and we test both the Shih Tzu and Bichon sides of the pairing for the conditions each side carries. A Virginia family is choosing us over a closer breeder because of that testing and because we can tell you what a given pairing has produced before. If you want the full picture of the breed first, read our guide to Teddy Bear puppies before you reserve.
