My Rowdy was the smallest of a litter of 5 and there were 6 adult dogs, 2 adults and 3 children in the house where he was born. We got him when he was 8 weeks old and he is extremely social to both humans and other animals. But he doesn't mind playing alone either. We keep him in the den/office part of the house which is shut off from the other part and sometimes he is out there with us and sometimes with the 12 year old schnauzer and sometimes he is out there alone. Sometimes he is in his pen and sometimes he has free roam - but he doesn't seem to mind or whine or anything when he is alone. So I'd have to say he is very social but doesn't mind being alone. He is not at all dominant with us or the other dogs - he is always the submissive one. |
