True to his name, Teddy is a big, lovable teddy bear with a heart just as soft as he is. This large, sweet boy adores meeting new people and will happily trot over to say hello, tail wagging and smile ready. Teddy thrives on affection and enjoys being part of the action, especially when it involves spending time with his humans.
When he's not soaking up attention, Teddy loves to play outside, exploring the world and enjoying fresh air and fun. Whether it's a romp in the yard or a leisurely walk, he's happiest when he gets to stretch his legs and share the adventure.
If you're looking for a friendly, gentle giant who brings warmth, joy, and a whole lot of love, Teddy might just be your perfect match.
