To determine the total number of different choices available, we need to multiply the number of options for each type of pet.
For dogs, there are 3 choices for collies, 3 choices for poodles, and 6 choices for dachshunds. Hence, there are 3 * 3 * 6 = 54 different choices for dogs.
For cats, there are 4 choices for Persians, 6 choices for Siamese cats, and 7 choices for American Bobtails. Hence, there are 4 * 6 * 7 = 168 different choices for cats.
Since Ted can choose either a dog or a cat, we can add these two totals together to find the overall number of choices: 54 + 168 = 222.
Therefore, there are 222 different choices available.
