Ideal Home: 

Teddy and his 6 siblings found themselves surrendered to the pound with their mum when he was only 6 weeks old. Luckily the pound staff are amazing and made sure they stayed safe while their mum did a fab job of making sure they grew up to be great babies.

Teddy is still a baby so he will need someone home with him during at least some of the day.

Teddy is a sweet natured, happy go lucky, affectionate boy who takes the world in his stride.

Teddy is a handsome and intelligent fella with a love of food, a love of cuddles and a love of fun! Teddy LOVES to learn (especially if it involves food), but it also means that he will need a home where he will get the mental stimulation he needs along with clear rules and boundaries - not just physical exercise. Teddy is a happy, confident guy who takes things in his stride . We believe he would suit just about any home, with hoomans that will give him lots of consistency and fun times. He has met older kids and did great! Nice and gentle and loved all the attention. We'd recommend either a home with kids 10+ who will love to play with him or no kids. He'd fit in just about anywhere. 

Teddy knows to sit for attention so his little butt hitting the ground with a thump once he realises and looking up at you for love is heart-melting! He loves his toys, especially his squeaky teddy but food is a big driver for him too - he loves to try new foods (egg, carrot, broccoli, apple have all been winners!). He is currently in a foster home with his sister, adult dogs, a dog savvy cat and chooks. He has shown interest in the chooks but not over the top so we think with additional training and chooks that are contained he may be ok. With proper introductions and clear boundaries, he may be ok in a home with a cat that is confident around dogs also as he currently ignores the cat in his foster home. Another calm and playful (female) dog in the home would be great for him to learn from and play with but isn't a necessity. 

Teddy is a Husky Lab mix so will need plenty of exercise - for his brain and for his body. He would love hoomans who will enjoy taking him on daily walks or runs, as well as adventures on the weekends when he's old enough. We think when he's old enough he will make a great running/hiking/long walks buddy. He does love to run and play and be active but also knows how to settle and be calm too which we think is fab for a pup of his age. His foster mum says "he's an all round well adjusted guy with wags and loves for everyone". He recently got out and about in a doggy back pack for a walk around the park and it blew his MIND! He loved being able to see all the new things and learn about the world from the safety of the backpack.

Teddy is a wonderful all-rounder - fun, confident, adventurous, sweet, cuddly and able to settle. He is ruled by his heart and his tummy which means he is a quick learner. He would be a wonderful only dog for a household who will include him in their adventures, or a best buddy for a dog who needs a mate.

Teddy and his siblings are part Husky, this is something we recommend people take into account before applying. While Teddy is a sweet natured, good boy, who isn't loud or barky (just the normal puppy stuff), he will need clear and consistent rules and boundaries to make sure he learns what is ok and what is not - just like any new puppy.

Teddy will need a family committed to making sure he learns all the things a good pupper should know so he can grow into a good doggy citizen. Puppy preschool would be a great start but really it comes down to clear, consistent rules and boundaries.
