Bear in mind that the reason you see so much negative stuff is because this is where we all come to ask Q's. If you look at other breed-specific boards, you'll see the same thing.
My Lucy is just over 1 year old, was reasonably easy to house train, went to puppy classes and learned all the standard commands by 5 months, and has continued to learn ever since. She's really sociable and loveable, great with people and dogs alike and loves to play. We've had the odd concern during the year (runny poo once, and the natural concern about spaying), but she's been a joy - I don't know what I'd do without her now.
All in all, the negatives are vastly outnumbered by the positives with this feisty, adorable breed. Even my husband (who was not keen at first) started calling her his 'little wart' - because she grew on him! He's now as smitten as I am. |
