“Teddy Bear Retriever” or “Jelly Bean Dog”

Writes Sabrina Kane (’21):

The dog breed I designed for Dogs and The Humans  is called the “Teddy Bear Retriever” or lovingly nicknamed the “Jelly Bean Dog” because it’s shaped like a jelly bean.

The Jelly Bean Dog is mainly used for emotional support, and therapy. It resembles a Golden Retriever, but it has short legs, and a small, stocky body like a Corgi. Being part Golden Retriever, they are very happy, loving dogs that are great fit in families with kids.

They’re naturally happy around people, and can get very affectionate. Their small size makes it easy to take them places and also makes them perfect for kids because they’re kid sized!

The Teddy Bear Retriever is part Maltese Terrier so it has nice fluffy fur that doesn’t shed very much. The Maltese is also a playful and loving breed which contributes to their behavior. Overall the Teddy Bear Retriever is low maintenance, family friendly, loving, and the perfect emotional support companion.
