Incredibly sweet and loving dogs, both. Particularly good with kids.
But they are diggers and runners away, so you need to be very careful to keep them fenced in and/or on a leash. I'd definitely microchip it.
They are obsessed with food.
And they bark and bay. Brewster howls whenever fire trucks go by and he barks and barks at trucks that have low rumbles.
They are a bit hard-headed, one-track mind dogs sometimes (esp. when food is concerned.
I'd do obedience lessons right from the start.
Thanks texasgirl. Jumping, running, dancing, you name it! He even gets up on his doghouse like Snoopy!texasgirl said:Awww, Duncan is a cutie, Barbara!! He just looks like he's ready to start jumping around!!
Thanks Dina. Yes, he is a lot of fun. He is so funny though. There is a stray white dog that hangs out around here (she was dumped nearby a couple years ago and just eats at everyone's houses--she is a sweetie, but extremely skittish). If we put meat or other regular food out for Duncan, he will let her eat first, then he finishes it (if there is anything left!), but if we give him tortillas or bread, he will snap at her and won't let her have any!!!Dina said:Barbara,
Duncan is gorgeous! You must have fun with him.
