My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We have no idea what breed mix Kip may be but isn't he just the cutest?? He looks like a miniature Belgian Shepherd but could also have Border Terrier or Cairn Terrier in his heritage, or maybe not. He is just under 25 pounds and probably will not get much larger. He definitely has the small dog attitude, with a slight stubborn streak, and a lot of confidence. Kip loves other dogs but can be a bit bossy with them trying to find his place in the pack. He has yet to discover the cats in the home, but is more likely to want to engage them in play than to harm them. He also loves people, he is very friendly and social with everyone but seems to be especially attracted to children. However, because of his puppy exuberance will only be placed with children over 8 years old. Kip was found running at large and having been out on his own for a while, is just now learning about toys and how to be a puppy – he really likes squeaky toys and will carry them around with him. He appears to be housebroken, and while crate trained, he does not really care much for being crated. Kip has potential as a sporting dog, either flyball or agility, but he would also be happy as a walking/hiking buddy. At the end of the day, he is content just to cuddle next to you. If you are looking for an active addition to your family that comes in a smaller package, look no further!
