Customer Feedback
Delilah is almost 4 years old now. She’s sooo sweet… always wanting to be right next to us, never nips or bites. Her estimated weight was about 7-12 lbs. She is between 7-8 lbs. Her tan/brown markings (around her eyes especially) faded to a light cream/white within the first year. She’s had some terrible & awkward haircuts! But once we found a great groomer that specializes in small dogs, she always looks so cute! We love her!!

We purchased our little Delilah (formerly “Gili”) the day her pic was posted! I was extremely hesitant about purchasing a puppy online! Especially 3.5 weeks before she was actually available! I did a lot of research on Teddy Bear breeds prior to the purchase, and I asked a lot of questions! For instance, I asked what specific breeds were mixed, and I requested pictures of the parents. Our Teddy Bear pup is a Maltese/Shih tzu mix (Malshi). In my opinion, I would expect more information to be automatically given from Premier Pups... especially since a “Teddy Bear” breed is a vague category that includes many mixes... and especially for the price. I asked for an updated video or picture before she was flown out. I was extremely happy to get an adorable video! We ran into a few glitches with her microchip number, and I never received an initial email after purchasing her, only an automatic receipt. The issues were resolved quickly and politely! The employees I spoke to throughout the process were very kind and helpful! I really liked that I could text a question also. Her flight went smoothly, and we immediately fell in love with her! Premier Pups called 2-3 times after we received her to check in! She is now 13 weeks old, has been to the vet twice for check ups, and she is a healthy, happy, growing little puppy! We love our little Malshi! Overall, we’d do it all again to get Delilah! She’s pure joy! My advice to anyone making a puppy purchase is to be proactive in gathering as much information as you can, set up a vet appointment as Premier Pups recommends, evaluate the preventive meds and the needs of your specific pup, and don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions! Thank you Premier Pups!

Teddy Bear Breed Info
Tiny, fluffy, and completely charming Teddy Bear puppies bring new meaning to love at first sight. These little toy dogs are happy, playful, and as cuddly as can be. They love to impress their owners with cute tricks and stunts, and are entirely devoted to making their human family happy. Teddy Bear puppies adore being involved in every family activity, and are quite fond of games, cuddles, and training.
Teddy Bear puppies, sometimes referred to as the Zuchon or Shichon, are a designer breed that is typically a cross between the Shih Tzu and the Bichon Frise (Teddy Bear Shichon) or a mix between the Shih Tzu and the Maltese (the Teddy Bear Mal-Shi).
With their petite stature, soft and cuddly coats, and their cute round faces, they are truly teddy bears in appearance.
