Story
Scottie is a 2.5 year old rat terrier (Purebred-I did an Embark test) that I got from a FB post on a group I follow. His original family needed him rehomed asap and didn't ask for a fee so I just paid them for any of his belongings (crate, food, clothes, leashes). I have other dogs and they're big (Great Danes) so a small dog was a bit outside my comfort zone but he was so cute and I thought how hard could it be. I soon realized what people say about the small dog personality is true. I have cats also and since getting Scottie I realize he has a VERY high prey drive. Scottie is the same size as some of my cats (he's 17-18.5 lbs) and tries to sniff them out and square down with them every chance he gets so they have to be separated for safety but my cat is having kittens and I can no longer take the risk. With other dogs he's fine and very playful. I don't have kids so I'm not sure about that but he loves walks and is an escape artist and will find any gaps in a fence or backyard.
