About Dan — Boundless Horizon Puppies
I'm Dan, owner of Boundless Horizon Puppies — Millersburg, Ohio, established 2022. My wife Melissa and I place Teddy Bear puppies with families across Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Florida through a vetted network of family home raisers. Never kennels. Never commercial operations. I evaluate every home raiser personally before any placement takes place. I am your direct contact from first inquiry through delivery day and for the life of your dog.
West Virginia families are among the most loyal and committed buyers in my program. The Appalachian values that define this state — genuine community, directness, long-term relationships — align with exactly the kind of ownership that a Teddy Bear requires and thrives in. Read about our ENS training program, our 2-year health guarantee, and our placement process.
About the Teddy Bear
The Teddy Bear — a Shih Tzu × Bichon Frise cross — is consistently the most popular breed I place with West Virginia's senior families, single-person households, and anyone whose lifestyle calls for a calm, unhurried companion rather than an active one. At 9 to 15 pounds with a reliably gentle temperament, the Teddy Bear suits West Virginia's full range of living situations: Morgantown apartments, Charleston family homes, Huntington neighborhoods, and rural properties across the state. Parkersburg at 110 miles is our closest West Virginia delivery point and one of the strongest Teddy Bear markets I serve in the state.
The Teddy Bear's primary ownership commitments are daily — not weekly, not occasional. Daily brushing to prevent matting. Daily tooth brushing to prevent the dental disease that is the #1 long-term health cost on the Shih Tzu side. Weekly eye cleaning to manage the tear-duct and eye-corner care that Shih Tzu ancestry requires. None of these are difficult. All of them are consistent. Call me before you reserve if any of those commitments feel uncertain — I would rather have that conversation now.

Three Things Every West Virginia Teddy Bear Buyer Needs to Know
Daily grooming is permanent — not optional, not weekly. The Teddy Bear coat grows continuously. Tangles become mats in 48 hours on a neglected coat. A slicker brush and steel comb every single day. Professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks. Skip sessions and the coat mats to the skin — causing genuine discomfort and requiring a full shave-down that sets coat health back months. If this schedule doesn't fit your life right now, this is the wrong breed right now.
Dental disease is the #1 long-term health cost for Teddy Bears. The Shih Tzu jaw is small, the teeth are crowded, and tartar accumulates faster than in larger breeds. Daily tooth brushing starting in the first week of ownership — before the adult teeth come in — is the only effective prevention. Budget for professional dental cleanings under anesthesia from around age 2 or 3.
Eye care is a daily commitment. Shih Tzu ancestry means prominent eyes that collect debris, develop tear staining, and experience irritation from hair. Daily gentle cleaning at the inner corners, hair kept trimmed from the eye surface, regular vet checks. Not difficult. Consistent. Part of what Teddy Bear ownership means.

West Virginia Teddy Bear Puppy FAQ
Do you deliver Teddy Bear puppies throughout West Virginia?
Yes — private climate-controlled delivery to all West Virginia communities for a flat $599. Parkersburg is 110 miles from my Millersburg, Ohio base — our closest West Virginia delivery point. Charleston is 200 miles via I-77 South. Weekly delivery route, $200 refundable deposit to reserve. Call Dan at (330) 238-8997.
Are Teddy Bears good for seniors and smaller West Virginia households?
Yes — the Teddy Bear is consistently the breed I recommend most for West Virginia seniors, single-person households, and calm family environments. At 9 to 15 pounds with a reliably gentle temperament and very moderate exercise needs, they are ideal for smaller homes, apartments, and any lifestyle that doesn't center on high-activity outdoor routines. They are devoted, quiet, and genuinely content with the pace of a calm household.
What is the difference between a Teddy Bear and a Maltipoo?
The Teddy Bear (Shih Tzu x Bichon Frise) is generally calmer, lower-energy, and better suited to senior and single-person households. The Maltipoo (Maltese x Poodle) is slightly more alert and active. Both are minimal shedding. The Teddy Bear's primary health commitments are dental and eye care. The Maltipoo's are dental and fragility around small children. Call me and I will help you figure out which one fits your specific household.
How far is Millersburg, Ohio from West Virginia?
Parkersburg is about 110 miles and 1 hour 45 minutes — our closest West Virginia city. Wheeling is about 120 miles and 2 hours. Morgantown and Clarksburg are about 160 to 165 miles and 2.5 hours.

What health testing do the Teddy Bear parents have?
Both parent dogs are screened for eye conditions, luxating patellas, and a comprehensive genetic panel before any litter is planned. Documentation is included with every puppy. I do not plan litters from parents with unresolved health flags, and I do not list health testing I cannot document.
