About Teddy’s Breed:
Our best guess is that Teddy is a Standard Poodle Breed. Standard Poodles are known for their intelligence, athleticism, and affectionate, people‑oriented nature. They’re highly trainable, intuitive dogs who love being part of family life and often form deep bonds with their humans. With their mix of playful energy and calm companionship, they thrive when they have both mental stimulation and time to relax with their people.

Their ideal home is one that offers regular exercise, enrichment, and plenty of affection. They do well with families who enjoy walks, training, and including their dog in daily activities. Whether in a home with a yard or an apartment with an active routine, Standard Poodles flourish when they’re engaged, loved, and treated as true members of the family.

What to Love about Teddy:

Teddy loves affection and quickly becomes a total lovebug once he knows you. He’s great with people, enjoys relaxing on the couch, and has excellent house manners. He’s fully house trained and crate trained, making him an easy companion in the home!

Teddy absolutely loves his walks — long walks, short walks, two or three a day — he’s always ready to go! He’s wonderful on a leash and has an easygoing demeanor that makes outings enjoyable. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and loves their company, whether it’s playing or curling up together for a nap. He hasn’t met kids or cats yet, but he’d likely do well with respectful, school‑aged children and is open to meet‑and‑greets with both kids and cats.

While Teddy doesn’t need a fenced yard, he’d certainly enjoy one for exploring and stretching his legs. He has that adorable puppy‑like playfulness and would thrive in a medium‑active household that enjoys both fun and downtime. He settles nicely when it’s time to relax and is happiest when he’s close to his people.

Teddy is ready to bring joy, companionship, and plenty of fluffy love to his forever family. If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and affectionate young poodle, Teddy can’t wait to meet you!
