Teddy Bear Puppy near Houston, TX

A. B. Friday, January 17, 2020

Greetings and Howdy from Texas! Bevo (formerly known as Ace) found his forever home here in the great Longhorn State. He is appropriately named after the The University of Texas mascot...it was the obvious choice given his coloring and size --a whopping 9 pounds:)! We bought Bevo from Premier Pups in April 2019. Given that our dogs are family for life and are beloved, we choose very carefully when buying a puppy. I can honestly say that I never thought I would buy a dog online. We do extensive research and like to be able to get to know the breeder, pup and environment before bringing him home... This time we were challenged though...My daughter was turning 16 and wanted a smaller puppy for her birthday. She had been asking for several years and with her heading off to college before you know it...the timing was right. We already have a "Teddy Bear" dog in the house and have been so pleased with breed....dad gave his consent for a puppy if and only if it was another "Teddy Bear". I am not sure how in a city as big as Houston, finding a Teddy Bear puppy was so difficult but our search yielded no reputable results. I started combing online sites hoping to hit on something local but no luck. I then stumbled upon Premier Pups. The website was very user friendly, detailed and of course, filled with the cutest pictures of so many puppies including Teddy Bears. I called no less than 5 times asking all kinds of questions about their track record, breeders, how they operate, protocol, health of puppies, warranty, etc and so on. I can say that I talked with a different person each time and they were all knowledgeable, patient and gave in-depth and consistent answers. I then read review after review to get insight into how others found the process and their experiences. After 10 days of back and forth phone calls...I decided to pay the fee to face-time with a little guy my daughter had fallen in love with...I figured for $10 it was well worth out to see how he behaved, talk with an employee who was familiar with his routine and personality. It was love at first sight...He was giving kisses from the moment he was pulled from his pen and bounded about all over the grass...curious, happy and a bit spunky. Within 24 hours, we had made an offer and I have to say I was still a bit leery and was taking a leap of faith. We settled on a price, airline ticket and much to my surprise...Bevo was heading to Texas the very next day. It has been almost 9 months now and Bevo is an absolute joy. He makes me smile and laugh everyday. He has the best disposition--he loves all other dogs and everyone he meets, and responds well to training. He actually slept through the night the very first evening in our home...amazing for a little guy weighing 2lbs 4 oz. He is happy go lucky, intelligent and snuggly when he finally tires out. My favorite thing he does is cock his head when you talk to him as if I am the most interesting person in the world. His health has been good and the hernia that was disclosed when we bought him was easily fixed when he was neutered. I has a small issue with the preventive antibiotics that were sent home with him but called the 24 hour hotline and got immediate advice. We simply discontinued them and he was a-ok. From start to finish, Premier Pups was professional and transparent. They delivered on their promises and met my expectations at every turn. I hope they keep records of who bred our little guy because I would buy from them again in a heartbeat. I wish I could post 10 more pictures because a picture is worth 1000 words and this little guy and Premier Pups are deserving of all of them. Thrilled in Texas!!
