Teddy the Crossbreed

Teddy is a 6 year old tricolour Collie cross who, as a stray, found himself at The Dogs Trust until, at 6 months old, he adopted us. Therefore, we do not have any history prior to this.

He has all the Collie traits, intelligent, high energy and eager to please. He attends both obedience and agility classes, which he really enjoys, but his biggest love is fetching a ball.

He has a very expressive face and always catches the attention of passers by when out walking. Often people liken Teddy to Pippin. He follows commands such as sit, down, over, spin, paw, stretch, off, bed, etc. He will happily hold his dumbbell in his mouth and is getting more comfortable holding other items, such as envelopes, small brochures, etc. In his obedience classes he will do recalls (novice and A), Scent, Send-away, Retrieve, etc. He also knows the names of his humans and some of his toys. He is a non-vocal dog, only barking once to come back into the house, after doing his business, then he will sit there patiently waiting to be let in. Teddy is a dog of habit, which helps with training as, once he has done something a few times and is rewarded, he remembers. He gets along with most dogs (not cats) but absolutely loves human company.
