About Teddy
Teddy was surrendered at ten weeks when his first family realised a puppy is a lot of work. He's sweet, curious and chews everything. He needs patient puppy training and someone home for most of the day while he learns the ropes.
The home he's hoping for
A family or couple with time for puppy school, toilet training and lots of short play sessions. Not a fit for long days alone.
“Toilet training is going well, with an accident roughly every other day. Teething on everything, so remember frozen carrots.”
