How to Identify Whether a Teddy Dog is Purebred
Teddy dogs can be said to combine many advantages. They look good, have high intelligence, minimal odor, shed little, and are easy to groom, so they have become the most common type of pet dog today. However, many unscrupulous merchants take advantage of this by selling dogs that merely look like Teddy dogs as purebreds, causing many people to be deceived. Therefore, let's talk about how to identify whether a Teddy dog is purebred.
First, purebred Teddy dogs have black eyes, eye rims, noses, and mouths, and their entire coat color should be uniform and glossy. It should not look patchy with multiple shades of color on one dog. If a Teddy dog's eyes are abnormally large, or its eyes, nose, and mouth are not black, then such a Teddy is not purebred and is not recommended to buy.
Second, Teddy dogs are very small in size. When selecting one, it is best to see the parents’ condition. Generally, choosing a Teddy with curly hair resembling sheepskin is preferred. When buying a puppy, you can observe the curl on the ears’ hair tips — the curlier, the better. When selecting a Teddy dog, also use your hands to feel the dog's body to check if the bones are normally developed, if the coat is smooth, and if there are parasites, etc. After all confirmations, choose those that are healthy and conform to the Teddy standard in appearance.
A better method to identify whether a Teddy dog is purebred is first to observe its parents. If the parents themselves are not very pure, the pedigree can be imagined. Of course, some detailed parts should also be checked to see whether they meet the Teddy standard.
