About Teddy
Hi, my name is Teddy. I’m a 4 year old Lagotto ... ok, go on, Google it! Not many people know my breed but I can tell you ... I’m Italian! Chiao! Of course I love water - my breed name actually means Lake Dog, so it only seems fit that I live up to it right? To touch me, I kinda feel like a lamb. Weird but really cool at the same time.
I’m a medium sized dog and I love human interaction. I’ve also learned to play tug and chase with my foster sister and have quite a good time playing with her so if you have another young friendly dog, I’m happy with that! My favourite thing to do is go for a walk so if I see you put on your sneakers, I’m ready to go! I walk well while I’m out and I’m not bothered by other dogs either.
I also like to be vocal at times, whether it's a random bark here or there, or when I get startled, or sometimes I tend to have a little sook for attention. With continuous help, I’ve been getting loads better though. I can be needy at times so I'm learning that it's not always all about me, and that my foster parents have other furs to pat and they only have 2 hands. Lol.
I know sit, drop, stay and walk nicely on lead. I also come back most times when they call me. Foster parents have taught me boundaries so when I go inside, I am restricted from some rooms in the house which at times I try to be cheeky and barge through. Mainly the laundry where the cat food is. I'm a little obsessed with food. My furever home would need to be someone always keen for walks as I need the exercise. I need to get my summer body back ready in time for the beach. My manners once I'm inside the house are really good. I always wait to be invited on the couch for cuddles but when they do invite me up I just can’t sit still and I'm off again. Silly me ... I enjoy their cuddles.
I'm cat, kid and dog friendly. If you're interested in giving me a great home, send me an application and I'll get my foster parents to have a read through. caninelifeline@hotmail.com
Please Note:
Please no apartments or unsecured large rural properties.
Teddy will be choosing a home where she is allowed inside and can have fun with another young dog, and/or some kids who don’t mind a bit of rough and tumble so no little tiny ones.
Teddy will be too much for elderly or infirm owners.
Medical notes
Teddy has no major medical requirements.
