Bear
Our absolute star student: This intelligent, joyful little treasure has made incredible progress and is still waiting for his perfect person.
Bear is a young, 10-month-old Yorkshire Terrier x Pomeranian, who’s an intelligent, high-energy pup who has grown into the most wonderful, joyful little dog.
He is bright as a button, eager, and full of potential, but he thrives on consistency, boundaries, and the right routine to help him shine.
About Bear
Bear is believed to be a Pom x Yorkie type mix, though we suspect there is likely some Cairn Terrier or similar breed in there too. Whatever his exact mix, what is clear is that he is a small, sturdy, very busy terrier-type dog with a big personality and even bigger energy levels.
After arriving as an over-stimulated, under-taught whirlwind, the good news is that he has come on in leaps and bounds. He is now bright, responsive, affectionate and genuinely a pleasure to live with.
Bear’s Progress & Personality
Bear has made incredible progress while with us:
Sweet and affectionate: A people-loving little dog who is lovely company and a joy to have around.
Nipping behaviour has completely stopped: Thanks to consistent structure and boundaries, he is now fine with confident older children.
Recall is really good: Fast, clever, and he genuinely wants to listen.
Crate trained: He now sleeps through the night and thrives on his routine.
Lovely company: Genuinely easy and a real pleasure to have around the home.
He is a cracking little dog who genuinely wants to get things right and he has worked so hard to learn how.
Training & Behaviour
Bear is absolutely thriving with his ongoing training:
Awesome progress: He now knows loads of commands and absolutely loves learning.
Highly intelligent: Active, playful, and adores the fields.
Toy-obsessed: Especially motivated by the smelliest toy he can find.
Respectful of fencing: He shows a great respect for boundaries and seems to lack any inclination to escape.
He is friendly with dogs out and about, though he is still enthusiastic and really wants to greet them.
Excellent potential: With his brains and drive, he would excel at agility or trick training.
With Other Dogs
Bear is generally very social and loves canine company:
Great with other dogs: He lives happily with them and is far more settled with canine company.
Friendly and playful: Enjoys socialising off-lead and in the home.
No issues with dogs he has met in our care, though he would still likely benefit from living with another confident, well-balanced dog.
On the Lead
Lead walks are lovely when Bear is calm, though it is still a bit of a work-in-progress when he gets excited. He is a bright little terrier with bags of potential, and he just needs someone who will continue to patiently build these skills as he grows.
Ideal Home for Bear
Bear will thrive in a home that is:
Experienced with energetic, intelligent terrier-type dogs.
Active and able to provide mental and physical stimulation.
Suitable for homes with confident older children now his nipping has stopped.
Able to provide structure, consistency and routine.
Ideally interested in training, agility, or dog sports, where he would absolutely excel.
