I am back at the terrier bootcamp. Because I misbehaved, Twice I bit a child.  The first time a girl took away the ball I was playing with and I nipped her hand. Not such a big deal. But the 2nd time I bit the 6 year old boy when he bent down and tried to take away my toy. I love my toys. No broken skin. But that was it! I had to go, although they all really loved me. But no go with kids, when I am playing with my toys.

Here, I often play with my rubber ball, the one that barks when you kick it around, and  I have yet to growl or show any sign of protection of toys or food.  And I am right in the middle of all the other dogs here, don't need to be in a crate, eat among them, sleep among them, kick my tennis ball around.  No problem!  Guess it's just in your face kids that I am not up to.

Otherwise I was darn good dog, learned a few tricks, very neat in the house and even in the yard. Alert and barking for strangers but never aggressive around them.  I had only been there for 6 months. I was very attached to the mom, and respectful toward the dad. They called be Chopper - no kidding! They did of course not know when they named me. Now I am called Chaplin. I can be a clown.  Before I was adopted my name was McDuff.

Not much is known about my life in South Carolina. I ended up in a pound that gets about 50 dogs every week, only a few get out alive, most die in a gas chamber. You can see some "old" pictures of me when you scroll down.  I looked like a different dog then, infested with fleas and parasites. Maybe I was a stray. I cannot be trusted of leash, I am too curious. 

What breed? Best guess is a combination of Wheaten Terrier and Chow.

How old? Young, maybe a few months over two years  judging from my teeth. I am healthy, fixed, on heartworm prevention and all that of course. I even got my teeth brushed and ate Hunde Flocken at my adoptive home.

Anyways. I like it here, but I have to move on, find a family of my own. Could I be your dog?

No, this is not a duplicate of the photo above. Detail! But I admit I am a ham for photos shoots!

The shaggy guy, in case you are wondering, is not looking for a home. He is the old resident terrier here and keeps us little guys in check, He herds us!
