Let's just say the terrier temperament match that of our family very well. People who know Maestro, my Lakie, say that he's my "Mini Me". As my teaching assistant, he takes his job seriously and hates days off; so I have to devise adventures and activities to keep us going on days off - everything from Hide-n-Seek to a car-ride adventure to someplace new. When he's focussed on something - be it a mouse outside or the holepunch, his focus and persistence kicks into "crazy mode". Certainly no half-measures with a terrier in the house. They certainly have an "all or none" philosophy. Our family has had wire-haired fox terriers, Airedales and one Lakeland. Let’s just say the terrier temperament match that of our family very well.
