Excerpts

Scottish TerrierGrr, I may be little, but I'm good at guarding. My motto is: you cannot be careful enough. I'm cau-tious around strangers--it takes me some time to trust someone. I'm stubborn and have a mind of my own, so please have patience with me. Even one of the previous presidents of the United States of America, Franklin D. Roosevelt, fell in love with one of my ancestors, and now they rest together.Border TerrierYou wanna go for a run? I'm coming with you. You want to just lie down on a couch? I'm in! Are you planning a weekend trip to the mountains? Well then don't forget to pack my dog food. I will do anything your heart desires; I'm not stubborn at all. That means I'm a good choice even for beginners. I know what you're thinking: you just found the dog of your dreams!
