Clan Duncan TBN, Teddy

 

Welcome to Teddy's Page!

Okay, so yes I got another Sheltie (see my first Sheltie love, plus numerous links and stuff here) and yes I am a bit crazy, but Teddy's here and I wouldn't change it for the world! I am thrilled that he is a little bi-black baby. After Logan, my wonderful sable, I really wanted a bi-blue or a bi-black little boy. Well the fates aligned so that it all worked out.

I travelled quite a ways for Teddy. I truly believe that this was my one shot to own a Clan Duncan Sheltie and so I embarked on a journey to meet Dana Quinney and her wonderful dogs. If you don't know about Clan Duncan dogs, web art, Sheltie funnies and games, and Dana herself, you can find out here.

Our trip home was stressful and crazy, but Teddy took the whole thing in stride and was a real trooper about everything. I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the way home about how quiet he was (even got asked if I had given him benadryl, which I did not) and how beautiful he was. I also can't recall how many times I've heard, "I didn't know they came in that color!" I wrote about the havoc on the trip back and if you have a little time, you can read it here.

Teddy was born on August 28th, 2009 and as I write is currently 14 weeks old. He is close to being house trained (hopefully we can shore that up over Christmas break) and is eating, sleeping, playing and pooping, although not always in that order! :-) We are currently attending puppy training classes working on watch me, sit and down. He sits well (without the throw out puppy leg) but we are working on the other two.

I don't yet know his registered name, but his "family" name is Theodore (Teddy) Bear Mulligan. Cora and Logan play well with him and our pack dynamic is, so far, doing well.

And of course, now on to the fun stuff! Below are a few pics of Teddy. I'll try to keep this updated more frequently than I did with Logan, but with the encroaching holidays, it may be a few months before I manage it again. The first two are pics that Dana took while he was with her, and the last two are after he was home in Texas.

 

I've also included a pic below of why a Sheltie is not a dog for everyone......this is the hair I brushed off of Logan today. It took two hours to do and this is the "finished" product. That is my size 9 women's shoe for reference. And all I could think about afterwards was that, in six months or so, I will have a black pile of hair to go with the sable one. What was I thinking?! :-)

 

 

Well I hope you have enjoyed Teddy's little homepage. I will update again when I can. Please click the Sheltie below if you would like to contact me about anything. Until next time!
