Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Teddy is a loyal, attentive, and affectionate 3-year old Maltese. At about 7lbs, he is a good indoor lap dog who just wants to be with his owner. He is a purebred Maltese that is very food motivated which helps with training.
Teddy loves belly rubs, and being pet while sitting next to you or on your lap. He will stand by you in the kitchen or sit at your feet at your desk. He is very loyal and loves attention.
As a purebred Maltese, Teddy is very hierarchical. This is creating problems with our other, older dog and at times, with our children. He has bitten strangers before but fortunately at 7lbs he doesn’t do much damage.
We believe Teddy would be a great pet as the only animal for a couple or a family with older kids. Other pets or younger kids can make him defensive about his position in the hierarchy.
We would love to find Teddy the right home to thrive so that he can give all of his living attention to his owners without feeling the need to defend his position.
