Get to know Teddie
Jack Russell Terrier & Poodle (Toy), 9 years old
My favourite thing about Teddie is...
Teddie is my best friend and confidante. She is a little mum to my three young grandaughters watching over them intently particularly when they're asleep. She greets them with her waggy tail and licky kisses. She is constantly by my side and pulled me through some tough times. She is a perfect and very intelligent little dog with a big basil brush tail
The biggest challenge with Teddie is...
There are no challenges except for the usual puppy ones we experienced but proper accredited training for a few sessions gave us the knowledge and skills to settle down to our shared life
The most surprising thing about owning a Jack Russell Terrier & Poodle (Toy) is...
How quick she learnt as a puppy as a breed I was told wouldn't be taught. After being shown the basic commands of sit, lie down, paw she mastered them. Teddie was a gift from my family which I thought I didn't want but she filled a huge gap and is very intuitive to knowing when I need a cuddle . She loves the heat like me and gets under the covers at night..with her head on the pillow!
What I wish I’d known about Jack Russell Terriers & Poodles (Toy) is...
I would thoroughly recommend this breed for children as that had been my main concern. She is quite independent and doesn't really like a fuss so isn't one to be lifted but has boundless energy for a little dog and is very hard to catch..watch her with rabbits or she's gone.
