Teddy – Autism Service Dog

Update:  Teddy has been officially matched with a child!  He is now moving forward in his training for autism assistance. He will be trained for deep pressure therapy, tactile stimulation and tethering. We are so proud of Teddy!

Teddy went to Highland Canine Training, a training program dedicated to helping people train service dogs. Teddy has always been a lover. In his litter, he was always very confident. He would sit back and watch as the other pups would get into tussles. While he didn’t start too many shenanigans, he would engage when they were brought to him. He’s always loved people and we are so excited that he is so successful with Highland Canine.

At Highland Canine, Teddy has become a fan favorite. He’s often the highlight of their Facebook feed and he’s taking to training like a dream.

Teddy was bought to Highland in November of 2023, but only four months later he looks like he will make an excellent service dog for an autistic child. His patience, confidence, and willingness allow him such an opportunity.

“All three dogs are doing really well! You did a great job with them! All three are some of may favorite poodles we’ve had. I just love how confident and eager they are even with there different personalities.”

“Best Place to Get a Standard Poodle, Hands Down!”

I could not be happier to be a poodle mom for my Dahlia, who was bred at Tamarack Standard Poodles and cared for by the owner, Laura.  As a breeder of poodles, Laura was so nice and approachable, and clearly an expert on this incredible breed.

When I went to meet Dahlia and (naturally) to take her home immediately, I was pleasantly surprised to have a comprehensive history on her parents printed out and in a binder for me to take with me.  The care shown for the puppies was evident and it was clear to me that the first weeks of my baby’s life were pleasant, peaceful, and harmonious.

Laura’s communication throughout the process was filled with quick and precise correspondence and she was so patient with me as I asked all my questions.  She only places her puppies in the best homes and has created lifelong relationships with many of her clients.

As for my beautiful and caring Dahlia… her coat is immaculate, her disposition is calm and curious, and her affection for me and my child as well as for other children, family members and dogs is a perfect combination of joy, love and playful spirit.  She is smart (maybe too smart for her own good!) and respectful and learned very quickly how to be the best girl she can be.

I enthusiastically recommend Laura & Tamarack Standard Poodles to anyone looking to get the best poodle in the world.  They simply are the best!
