Yes I agree. These terriers are very cute but I would have thought the president especially would like a pet who was a little bigger and more sporty, perhaps.
Yes, but when you think about it, they will be living four more years at the White House, and for Barney and Miss Beazley, that is 28 dog years.
Now imagine Terrazzzza in the White House with a puppy! She would be holding the pup out at arms length in the photos!
If you think the Bush's should be big dog people, what kind of dog do you think the Kerry-Heinz's would be?
Many of us native Texans like smaller dogs. I've had bigger dogs. Matter of fact, I still visit and act as baby-sitter, when needed, for the big dog my ex and I had while we were married. When we were married our big dog weighed 110 lbs without an ounce of fat on her. She's gained a few pounds since then.
She's a pit, german shepherd, lab and other mix but training from an early age means she's easily controlled. Even to this day (after 5 years) I can stop her in her tracks by the tone of my voice and the command I give her. That's a good thing since she weighs more than I do.
I have a rat terrier-benjii look alike mutt who's about the size of my biggest cat and weighs 12 pounds. He can be as intimidating in manner as our big dog was due to her size. The difference is, I can pick him up. At times his terrier part shows up and he can be a stubborn little cuss.
In the future we'll have a bigger dog when we have a fenced yard. My fiance wants either a wiemereimer (sp?) or a boxer. We'll get a puppy and I'll use the same method of training it as I did with my other big dog baby.
