This dear little boy (11kg) is Teddy, a handsome apricot poodle. An active just 8 years old. 

Teddy has mastered lead walking, house training, being good at the groomers, mixing with all dogs large and small and playing with a ball. He loves to run and do zoomies when he’s happy too. Unfortunately he cannot live with cats.

A few months ago, Teddy was adopted to a couple but he was recently returned to his fosterer because he became too possessive of his adopter dad, getting upset if they were separated. He led an almost sedentary life with the man, wasn’t corrected or guided with his behaviour and he became more and more confused.

Since being back in familiar surroundings and with proper boundaries in place he’s beginning to settle again and he’s much happier for this.

He’s a lovely boy, affectionate and loyal but he needs lots to do and lots going on. He loves being outside and is happiest with other girl dogs of a similar size and energy. Poodles are clever dogs with active minds. (They were originally bred to accompany horses during a hunt before they were reduced to the tiny hand bag size in some cases.) He won’t suit being a lap dog with nothing to keep his mind busy.

Initially he will bark at strangers, but the resident dogs bark too, so that’s understandable! He soon settles though.

Teddy is now looking for a home with resident female dogs who love to run and play but who will let him cuddle at the end of the day. He needs a garden, regular off lead walks and someone who understands ex breeding dogs and who is there for him most of the time.

Teddy has waited a long time for his forever home and the next and final home will be 5* and fulfil all the criteria! He’s too special for it not to be perfect for him.
