TEDDY is a 38lb, 2.5 year-old miniature Poodle/Australian Sheppard mix.
Playful, goofy, sensitive, easy-going, athletic. Good with other dogs, cats and animals. He would be great with another easy-going dog for a playmate, but not necessary.
Teddy is a young dog with a lot of energy who needs to walk, run and hike with you. Looking for someone with dog experience who can provide ROUTINE, STRUCTURE and LEADERSHIP with calm confidence. No kids because over-excitement isn't great for him.
Teddy needs a minute to build up trust with new people.
Must be willing to come to Cesar Millan’s Dog Psychology Center to participate in a few Saturday morning pack walks to learn how to implement the training that has made Teddy such a great dog. This is an amazing experience paid for by the current owner who rescued, invested a lot in and adore Teddy, but cannot give him the lifestyle he deserves as a young dog.
