Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in Washington
Families searching for Teddy Bear puppies for sale in Washington are about as far from us as the lower 48 gets, and that trip is one we make routinely. The Puppy Lodge sits on a five acre farm in Fresno, Ohio, where the Nisley family has been raising dogs for more than 13 years. Teddy Bears are a Shih Tzu crossed with a Bichon Frise, usually 8 to 15 pounds grown, with a plush wavy coat, dark round eyes, and a calm personality that suits a Seattle condo as easily as a house outside Spokane. Most Washington puppies travel by flight nanny and land the same day they leave Ohio, though our climate controlled van does run all the way to the coast.
Available Teddy Bear Puppies for Washington Families
Every available puppy is listed below with photos, price, and a reserve button. Teddy Bear pricing starts at $1,995 and moves with coat, color, and gender. Reserving takes a $200 deposit, which is non-refundable but transferable to another available puppy if plans change, and financing is available through Credova if you would rather spread the cost out. Puppies go home at 8 weeks or later with a three year written health guarantee, registration papers, a registered microchip, current vaccinations and dewormings, a vet exam from Danville Veterinary Clinic, a bag of the food they are already eating, and a blanket that carries their mother's scent.
We do not keep a waitlist, so puppies are claimed first come, first served, and a puppy listed this morning can be reserved by another family this afternoon. If nothing here is the right fit, join the newsletter and you will hear about the next Teddy Bear litter before it goes public. Delivery to Washington is arranged after you reserve, on a phone call where we walk through the options together.
Teddy Bear Puppy Delivery to Washington
Washington is a 33 to 38 hour drive from our farm depending on whether you are in Vancouver, Seattle, or the far northeast corner near the Idaho line. That distance shapes which option we usually recommend, but all three are open to you. The method gets decided on a call once your puppy is reserved rather than at checkout, so nobody is locked into a choice before we have talked it through.
Flight Nanny, Our Recommendation for Washington. A trained handler carries your puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight and hands the puppy to you at baggage claim, usually the same day. Puppies never fly in cargo. Sea-Tac in SeaTac is the busiest arrival point for our western Washington families, Spokane International covers the eastern half of the state, and Bellingham International or the Tri-Cities airport in Pasco can work depending on connections. Nanny travel is quoted per flight since airfare moves around, and it costs more than the van, but for a state this far out it turns a multi day drive into an afternoon. Teddy Bears fit the requirements comfortably, since the airline limit is 20 pounds including the carrier and an eight week old Teddy Bear is only a few pounds. We arrange the health certificate before travel, and weather delays out of the Cascades in winter are the one thing worth staying flexible about.
Home Delivery by Climate Controlled Van. Our most popular option nationwide is door to door ground transport in a custom climate controlled van. Washington falls in the national tier, currently $450 flat, with no airport trip on your end. Vans leave Ohio on Tuesday mornings, and a West Coast route generally takes two to three days depending on the other stops along the way. Your puppy rides in an individual carrier, gets a veterinary check before departure, and you get updates while the van is on the road. The climate control matters more for this breed than most. Teddy Bears carry a slightly shortened muzzle from the Shih Tzu side, so heat is something we watch, and that is worth remembering in a Yakima or Tri-Cities summer once the puppy is home too.
Pickup at the Ohio Farm. You are welcome to come get your puppy in person by appointment. Pickup families tour the kennel, meet the puppy's mother, and go through the vaccination record, microchip registration, and health guarantee with us face to face. Very few Washington buyers make the drive for obvious reasons, though it happens when a family is already traveling east, and some fly into Columbus or Cleveland and drive the last stretch out to Coshocton County.
Teddy Bear Puppy Breeder Serving Washington from Ohio
Buying a puppy from three time zones away deserves a straight answer about why. Washington has good local breeders, and the argument for us is what happens before a litter exists. Every Teddy Bear parent dog is owned by The Puppy Lodge and has been genetically tested and health screened on both the Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise side, then selected for temperament, pedigree, and coat genetics before any pairing is made. Litters are raised across a closed network of local kennels near our farm by breeders who work only with our dogs and follow our standards, in climate controlled buildings with heated tile floors for winter and geothermal cooling in summer.
Teddy Bears bond hard, which is the trade-off of the breed, so we start work on it early. Every puppy goes through Early Neurological Stimulation from day 3 through day 16, gets handled daily by our children, and starts crate and potty training before go-home. That gives a puppy a head start on tolerating alone time, though the building of it continues with you. We also watch structure and weight in our pairings because small joints and dental crowding are known risks in this cross, and everything comes with a three year guarantee on genetic and congenital conditions. If you want the full picture on the breed before you decide, read our complete guide to Teddy Bear puppies. You can also set up a FaceTime call and see a puppy live before you put money down, which is how a lot of our out of state families get comfortable.
