Rex is the definition of puppy love. About 8 months old, Rex wants to adore someone. He approaches quietly and asks for his head to be touched and held, leans into your hand and gazes at you with his dreamy brown eyes. He seems to be a terrier mix, a Jack Russell Terrier look to his face and color, but taller. He’s going to be a medium size adult, maximum 30 lbs would be my guess.  

 
Rex was kept out of the house so he is catching up on being a gentleman, very quickly I might add! He already knows sit, come, and reads tone of voice readily. He does fine in the crate overnight, max 8 hours. I would not crate him for more than 4-7 hours at a stretch during the day however, he is still young and potty training. Rex was fixed on wednesday, Feb. 19, we are just beginning to train and he is really responsive. He is timid at first but a total pleaser. Little Rex is going to make an excellent pet, and now is a perfect time to train and bond with this gem of a puppy guy. He is still very sensitive, would be best with older kids and a controlled atmosphere till he gains his confidence. 
 
Rex gets along well with my other dogs, smaller terriers. I have not cat/kid tested yet but he is so submissive, I would be surprised if he was anything but cool about them.
Rex would love a dog to play with, he is a typical puppy, and wants to play every few hours. So walks and play time daily will be best for him. He will be the most loyal dog!
