Two year old Teddy weighs only 6 pounds and looks a little scrawny, but he is very energetic and can play for hours before curling up in your lap or on your bed for a snooze.  He had to be shaved almost to the skin because his soft fur was terribly matted.  He will require daily brushing when his fur grows out.  Teddy also needs a couple of nice long walks every day, and he is well behaved on a leash.  He loves other dogs as well as people, young and old.  Teddy does not like to be confined in a crate, but he is making good progress towards being house broken.  He will be some caring soul's BFF!
