Owning a Teddy Bear in Spokane
Dry mountain air and big morning-to-afternoon temperature swings are the two things families plan around with a Teddy Bear in Spokane, WA. A water bottle on every walk handles hydration. Brushing the wavy or curly coat several times a week keeps it from drying out in city dry air. Cold winter mornings get a doggy sweater, and summer walks shift to cooler hours, which rounds out the seasonal routine. About 20 to 30 minutes of daily activity does it, with a couple of short walks handling most. Indoor play counts toward the daily total too. Apartments, condos, and family houses all suit an eight to fifteen pound dog in a city setting. A Teddy Bear fits a normal car, taxi, or rideshare, rides quietly, and is welcome at most leashed-dog spots like hardware stores and coffee shop patios across Eastern Washington. Most Teddies get along with kids, cats, and other small dogs in apartment buildings once introductions are handled slowly over the first week or two at home. Strong prey drive isn't part of the breed, so cat households in apartment settings tend to settle in within a few weeks once the new dog stops being a novelty.
Why Spokane 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 Spokane, Washington
The easiest way to get your Teddy Bear puppy home to Spokane is through our professional flight nanny service. Your puppy flies in-cabin with a dedicated handler right into your nearest airport, right beside the handler the entire way. We also offer climate-controlled ground transport by delivery van if you prefer a door-to-door option. Since Spokane is about 35 to 37 hours hours from our kennel in Ohio, an in-person pickup is a bigger commitment, but you’re always welcome to visit by appointment if you’d like to meet your puppy’s parents and see our operation firsthand.
Once your Teddy Bear puppy is reserved, our team will reach out to schedule delivery to Spokane. 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 4 days.
1. 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 more expensive but gets your puppy to you as quickly as possible. We can deliver to your nearest airport, including Spokane International Airport, and Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport.
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 Spokane, Washington. This is our most popular delivery option, giving your puppy a safe, calm ride right to your door.
3. 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.

City life suits a Teddy Bear's size well in Spokane. An eight to fifteen pound dog fits car rides, rideshare cars, and longer family trips across Eastern Washington without much room needed. Carriers and crates fit a small dog easily. Apartment hallways and elevators aren't a problem. Pet-friendly cafes, stores, and small businesses generally welcome small dogs more readily than large ones, which makes urban errands and outings simpler day to day.
Travel at altitude brings a few habits to plan around. Hydration matters more at altitude than at sea level, so water on every walk is part of the routine. Outings shift to cooler hours through summer since the breed's shorter muzzle slows cooling. A doggy sweater handles the coldest winter mornings. Brushing several times a week keeps the wavy or curly coat healthy through dry stretches. The low-shedding coat doesn't fill the apartment with hair across any season.
