Jackaranian named Buddy (Jack Russel Terrier/Pomeranian)

Got Buddy from the vet when he was about 8 weeks old...he was abandoned there. Two years later we had a DNA test done on him to determine his breed. He is a wonderful even tempered dog but is full of energy to play and loves toys. He loves to be petted and loved...especially at certain times..like after supper before bedtime. He looks like a little trotter when he walks fast. He has an "air" about his look. He doesn't mind being left at home if we go away. He is content to pass time by himself. Loves to sit on the bed and "guard" by looking out the window. He will bark at any person with a dog even if it is across the street.Loves to be bathed and dryed and made pretty...he KNOWS when he is pretty and will act accordingly. A very loving dog. We have another much older dog that is a rat terrier/chihuahua mix. She is friendly but more demanding and bossy. She is a wonderful pet also but very different temperament from the other dog. She was hurt very badly when she was young and went through a difficult and long recovery and I'm afraid she is very spoiled by us because of it. And she KNOWS it...She is very smart and was very easy to train to do many tricks. Both dogs are very good around children although we have no young children in the household. But we do have grandchildren that come. The dogs are good to take to visit at the nursing home with elderly patients and like to preform their tricks for them. I would recommend both breeds for house dogs.
