My story

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

Mender is a 6 lb bundle of personality. He loooves to play with humans and toys and makes hilarious growling noises while getting chased around. But his greatest love is of sunbathing. He also enjoys sitting in your lap in the morning as he wakes up. He acts quite catlike in how he cleans himself often. He is excellent on leash, housetrained, and crate trained. He knows sit, paw, and down. He only barks when someone is at the door, but quiets down quickly with a firm “shh!”.  He will go into his crate on his own at 9:30pm for bedtime. He loves his routines! He would make an excellent travel companion as he fits well in a pet carrier and is only 11 inches tall at the shoulder.
 
He displays aggression towards other dogs as his now-healed jaw injury was likely caused by another dog, but can warm up to co-exist peacefully with another dog (it just takes a few days of adjustment - see photo!). He is so small that he cannot inflict any damage, so if you have a non-aggressive dog at home, he would do very well.
