Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This sweet boy looks like a toy fox terrier/cairn terrier mix. He is approx 2.5 yrs and 11 lbs.. he would do great in a home with no children as he
is a “timid” dog. He’s still shy around new people, but when he’s one on one, he is a happy and confident dog. He loves to cuddle and sleep in. He sleeps on the bed with me, but I think he would adapt to a doggy bed in the bedroom if that’s your preference. He definitely likes having a blanket or towel to snuggle into. He enjoys being petted and brushed. I try to brush him daily.
Grisby is food motivated, so it’s pretty easy to earn his trust. Just keep lots of little treats in your pockets and reward him frequently and praise him continually. Once you bond, you will have a constant companion. When I first got him, it was very challenging to get him close enough to pick up or to put on the leash. He is still a little suspect of fast movements towards him, but if you play with him a bit and give him treats and head scratches, he will approach while you are standing and allow you to put on a leash. You will have to work on this with him. Don’t expect this part to come naturally for him. He will love you and want to be with you, but he will still shy away a little if you approach him too fast.
He is very well potty trained. I have left him in the house for 10 to 12 hours with no incidents. He seems to have a very large bladder which is a good thing. I’ve never seen him mark in the house either. He does ask to go out and to come in. He is an “alert” barker. If there is a strange noise or if someone new comes to the house, he will bark. As soon as I let him know I’ve got it handled, he quiets down.
