Ted

Ted is a good-natured and active boy who loves to play, run and play some more!  His toys are his world and he is always sorting through to choose which one he wants next.  He also loves playing tug with my small terrier and racing around the yard with him so a home with a doggy friend is a must.

Teddy, still a pup, spent a couple of his early months in the pound. This means he missed out on many vital things a puppy needs. Because little Ted hadn’t been exposed to the world outside early on, he worries about new situations, especially new people.  So fast forward a couple of months and Ted is doing a lot better.  With time and patience, he’s now realised the world can be a fun place.  He absolutely loves going for a walk or a run. He has blossomed in many ways but his new family will need to continue helping him grow in confidence and become a happy balanced adult dog.  Right now is a critical stage in his learning and development. He still has a bit of a way to go with confidence and meeting new people but he is smart and quick to pick up on things especially routine and life in a home environment.  Having a confident doggy companion will help him realise new people are ok.  He loves food and treats so it’s easy and a pleasure to teach him new things.  He’s keen to learn, loves all the attention that brings, and is eager to please.

For people he knows he will come up for a cuddle or time on your lap.  While little Ted does struggle with new people he is getting better the more we expose him to new situations. It’s important to take things slowly as that is the best approach. It’s also important his new owners have experience with training/behaviour.  It doesn’t take him long to become familiar so once comfortable, he’ll shower you with affection and love!

Teddy is good with other dogs although a little intimidated by bigger dogs at first but quickly warms up. He can also be a little rude in his play style but is learning fast as my dogs tell him off. He plays a lot with one of them so a home with a female dog would be ideal for Ted.  He also gets his confidence from other dogs so another reason for him to have a canine companion.

Ted has an adventurous nature. He is also upbeat, lively and inquisitive.  If he’s not playing with one of my dogs, he’ll happily take himself outside to check out the yard, do zoomies or have a game with one of his many toys!

As far as children, he’d be best in a home without kids. He startles easily and the hustle and bustle that naturally comes with children would be too much for him.

Teddy has a lot of energy so a home where he gets a long walk each day and playtime with a doggy companion would be perfect.  He’d also love a yard to go sniffing and do zoomies!  Ted does have an off switch tending to crash in his bed or on the couch!

Ted sleeps well in his crate overnight, is a good little traveller in the car and is housetrained.
