What is a Teddy Bear dog like?

The Teddy Bear dog is actually a Poodle; because many like to clip Poodles into a teddy-bear style, it is also called a Teddy. It is small and eats little, so the cost of keeping it is not high. Also, the Teddy is quite smart and easier to train than many dogs.

But the Teddy is energetic and may bark or destroy furniture, so the owner must walk it daily to burn energy. Finally, its bones are slender and it is playful, so fractures are common; supplement calcium regularly to strengthen its bones.
