Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in West Virginia
Families looking at Teddy Bear puppies for sale in West Virginia are closer to our kennel than almost anyone else we work with. The Puppy Lodge sits on a five acre farm in Fresno, Ohio, and most of West Virginia is a two to six hour drive from our front gate, with the northern panhandle at the short end and the eastern panhandle around Martinsburg at the long end.
Teddy Bears, also called Shichons, are a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise cross that grows to about 8 to 15 pounds. They have a plush wavy coat that sheds very little, dark round eyes, and a calm and affectionate personality that suits a house in Morgantown just as well as a farm outside Buckhannon. Our adult dogs are genetically tested and chosen for temperament, health, and pedigree before any pairing is made.
Available Teddy Bear Puppies for West Virginia Families
Every puppy below comes from parent dogs owned by The Puppy Lodge and raised inside our closed network of local kennels. Each one goes home vet checked by Danville Veterinary Clinic, microchipped, current on vaccinations and dewormings, with registration papers, a bag of food, a blanket carrying its mother's scent, and a written three year health guarantee covering genetic and congenital conditions.
Teddy Bear pricing starts at $1,995 and moves with color, coat type, and gender. A $200 deposit reserves a puppy online, and it is non refundable but transfers to another available puppy if plans change. We do not keep a waitlist, so puppies go first come first served and a listing can be claimed by another family the same day you looked at it. We deliver to every part of West Virginia, and we can walk you through the options once your puppy is reserved.

Delivery and Pickup Options for West Virginia Families
The way your puppy gets home is decided on a phone call after you reserve, not at checkout. West Virginia buyers have three routes.
Pickup at the Ohio farm. This is what we suggest for most West Virginia families. Wheeling and the northern panhandle are roughly two hours out, Morgantown and Clarksburg sit close behind, and Charleston or Huntington run in the three and a half hour range. That makes a same day round trip realistic. You come by appointment, meet the mother, walk through the kennel, and go over vaccination records, microchip registration, and the health guarantee in person before you leave with the puppy and a bag of its current food.
Ground home delivery. A professional transport service drives your puppy to your door in a climate controlled van with an individual carrier, a veterinary checkup before departure, and updates along the way. West Virginia falls in our regional pricing tier, currently $350 flat. Runs leave Tuesday mornings and most families in the state have their puppy the next day, since we are on the same side of the Appalachians. This is the option we point eastern panhandle families toward, since Charles Town and Martinsburg are a five to six hour drive each way and door to door service saves you the whole day.
Flight nanny. A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin beside them, never in cargo, and hands the puppy to you at baggage claim. Most flight nanny trips finish the same day. West Virginia International Yeager Airport in Charleston, Huntington Tri-State, North Central West Virginia Airport near Clarksburg, Morgantown Municipal, and Greenbrier Valley Airport in Lewisburg are the usual in state arrival points. Flight nanny is quoted per trip and costs more than ground transport, so with drive times this short it usually only makes sense when a family wants the puppy home on a specific day. A Teddy Bear clears the requirements easily at 8 to 15 pounds, well under the 20 pound in cabin limit with the carrier included.
One breed note on travel. Teddy Bears inherit a slightly shortened muzzle from the Shih Tzu side, so heat and heavy exertion deserve attention. Both the transport vans and in cabin flights keep the puppy in a controlled temperature the whole way, which matters more in an August pickup than a March one.

Teddy Bear Puppy Breeder Serving West Virginia Since 2013
The Puppy Lodge is run by the Nisley family in Coshocton County, Ohio, and we have been raising dogs for more than 13 years. Every parent dog behind our Teddy Bears belongs to us, and litters are raised across a small group of nearby kennels that work only with our dogs and follow our health testing, genetic testing, and breeding standards. Our veterinarian visits on a weekly schedule to check the adults and the newborn litters.
Being a couple hours from most of West Virginia means you can see all of this yourself rather than taking our word for it. The buildings are climate controlled with heated tile floors for winter and geothermal cooling for summer, and mothers have their own rooms for whelping and the first weeks with the litter.
Teddy Bears get a few things we plan for specifically. Every puppy runs the ENS protocol, the Super Dog Program, from day three through day sixteen, which builds early stress tolerance and helps with a breed that bonds hard and can develop separation anxiety without early work on it. Our kids handle and play with the puppies daily so they meet people before they ever meet you. Potty and crate training start before go home, and no puppy leaves before eight weeks. We test the parent dogs on both the Shih Tzu and Bichon side for the conditions that run in each, including knee, eye, and dental related concerns, all of which show up across many small breeds and not just this one. If you want to go deeper on the breed before you decide, our complete Teddy Bear puppy guide covers what to expect at home.
