About Teddy

Teddy is the definition of a lovable little companion. This 12 pound, snaggle-toothed sweetheart is happiest curled up at home, preferably right in your lap soaking up all the snuggles and affection he can get. With his silly personality, adorable army crawls, and gentle kisses, Teddy has a way of making everyone around him smile. Teddy is already potty trained, sleeps through the night like a champ, and settles nicely in his crate after a brief little protest. He's respectful in the home and doesn't chew on things he shouldn't. He has a growing interest in stuffies and will carry them around proudly. He gets along well with the other dog in the house. On walks, Teddy is friendly with passing dogs and absolutely fascinated by squirrels and birds. He has the cutest little prance in the park and brings so much joy to everyday outings. Sometimes all the exciting critters can be a bit overwhelming, but Teddy responds wonderfully to praise and is very food motivated, making training both fun and rewarding. He has mastered "sit." We are working on "come" and "wait." Teddy can be a little shy when meeting new people and appreciates slow, gentle introductions. He is never, ever aggressive--he just ducks his head or backs away when he is not ready to be greeted. Once he feels safe, he warms up quickly and shows off his sweet, affectionate nature. His interactions with children have been positive as long as they move calmly and respectfully around him. Each day Teddy becomes a little braver, a little more social, and even more ready to find the forever family who will cherish his loving heart and quirky charm.
