About Teddy

Teddy is a 3-year-old Cockapoo who thrives on playtime, especially fetch. He's smart and responds to multiple names, showing he knows his way around human relationships. However, he has a sensitive side; Teddy has been returned twice due to biting, likely stemming from discomfort when his space is invaded. It’s essential for his new family to respect his boundaries and understand that he doesn’t like to feel controlled. He can be held and petted but must not have his actions interrupted abruptly. This little guy needs a home without children, and a patient adopter who knows how to handle a dog with his quirks. Teddy is trainable and has the potential to become less reactive with proper guidance. Regular grooming every 8 weeks is important too. If you're ready for a loyal companion and are up for the challenge, get in touch with us to meet Teddy!
