Teddy Bear Puppies for Sale in Wisconsin

Families searching for Teddy Bear puppies for sale in Wisconsin end up at The Puppy Lodge, a small dog program run by the Nisley family on a five acre farm in Fresno, Ohio. A Teddy Bear is a Shih Tzu crossed with a Bichon Frise, usually 8 to 15 pounds grown, with a plush wavy coat and the settled, people first personality that both parent breeds are known for.

Wisconsin sits roughly eight to thirteen hours west of the farm, depending on whether you are down near Kenosha or up by Superior. That puts almost the whole state inside a single day of driving for our transport van, so most Wisconsin families never have to arrange a trip themselves.

Teddy Bear Puppy Delivery to Wisconsin

Wisconsin falls in our regional delivery tier, so door to door ground transport is currently $350, flat statewide. A professional pet transport service drives your puppy out in a climate controlled van, in an individual carrier, with a vet check before the trip and updates from the driver along the way. Vans leave the farm on Tuesday mornings, and most families have their puppy in hand within three days of scheduling. For a state that is one long driving day from us, this is the option we point most Wisconsin buyers toward, whether you are in Milwaukee, Wausau, or a farm outside Viroqua.

Flight nanny service is the faster route if you cannot wait for the van. A trained handler carries your puppy in the cabin beside them, never in cargo, and meets you at baggage claim, usually the same day. Teddy Bears make easy travel companions for this since a grown one tops out around 15 pounds and fits comfortably in a soft carrier under the seat. Milwaukee Mitchell International, Dane County Regional in Madison, Austin Straubel in Green Bay, and Appleton International all work well for a handoff. Flight cost is quoted per trip because it depends on the day and route, and winter storms across the Great Lakes can push a flight back a day, so we build in some flexibility from December through March.

You are also welcome to pick your puppy up at the farm in Fresno by appointment. From southeastern Wisconsin that is around eight hours each way around Chicago, so it makes for a long day, but some families like doing it. You get to walk the kennel, meet the mother, and go over the vaccination records, microchip registration, and health guarantee in person before you drive home with the puppy, a bag of the food it has been eating, and a blanket carrying its mother's scent.

A Teddy Bear Puppy Breeder Serving Wisconsin Families

The Puppy Lodge has been raising dogs for more than 13 years. We own every parent dog in the program, and each one is genetically tested and screened before a pairing is made, on both the Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise side of the cross. Litters are raised across a closed network of kennels near our Ohio farm by breeders who work only with our dogs and follow the same health testing and raising standards we use ourselves. Our veterinarian from Danville Veterinary Clinic comes out weekly to check the adults and the new litters.

With Teddy Bears we pay close attention to two things in particular. Structure and knee health factor into pairings, because patellar luxation shows up in a lot of small breeds. And because this cross bonds so deeply with people, every puppy goes through the ENS protocol from day 3 through day 16 and is handled daily by our children, which gives a puppy a better start on tolerating time alone. Wisconsin is a full day away from us, and what you get for that distance is a documented pairing, a three year written guarantee on genetic and congenital conditions, and a puppy that arrives at your door already socialized.

Teddy Bear FAQs Of Wisconsin Families

Q: How much is a Teddy Bear puppy delivered to Wisconsin?

A: Puppies start at $1,995 and go up based on color, coat, and gender. Ground delivery to any Wisconsin address is that same $350, and flight nanny service is quoted separately since it depends on the flight. A $200 deposit holds your puppy, and it is non refundable but can move to another available puppy if plans change.

Q: How do Teddy Bears handle Wisconsin winters?

A: The coat is medium length and plush, so cold walks are not a problem for a healthy adult, but this is still a 10 to 15 pound dog and potty trips in January should be short. Snow clumps into the leg and belly hair, which is why a lot of Wisconsin owners keep their dog in a shorter puppy cut from November through March. Rinse the feet after walks in town, because road salt irritates the pads and they will lick it off. Summer needs a little care too, since the shorter Shih Tzu muzzle means they should not be pushed hard in heat.

Q: Are Teddy Bears a good fit for an apartment in Milwaukee or Madison?

A: They are one of the better small breeds for it. Twenty to thirty minutes a day covers their exercise, split between a walk and indoor play, and they are quieter than most companion breeds. They will announce someone at the door and then settle back down. Winters where walks get cut short are easier with this breed than with a dog that needs a hard run every day.

Q: Will a Teddy Bear be okay while I am at work?

A: They can be, but it takes some planning. Both parent breeds were made to stay close to people, so a Teddy Bear that never learns to be alone can develop separation anxiety. Crate training from the first week, short practice absences that you slowly stretch out, and a puzzle toy or chew while you are gone all help. The ENS work we do in the first weeks gives a puppy a head start on handling stress, though it does not replace the training you do at home.

Q: Are they good for someone with allergies?

A: No breed truly is. What helps is that this coat holds what it sheds rather than releasing it, so there is less dander drifting through the house than with a heavy shedding dog. Light reactions are usually workable. Serious ones are a genuine risk. We can set up a FaceTime call or an appointment at the farm, because the only honest answer comes from time with that specific puppy.

Q: Can I come see the kennel before I buy?

A: Yes, visits are by appointment, Monday through Saturday. From Milwaukee it is about an eight hour drive, so plenty of Wisconsin families do a video call instead. On a FaceTime call you can see the puppy, watch it move, and ask whatever you want before putting a deposit down. Call or text us at 330-790-5007 to set either one up.
