My grandmother has a 2-year-old male one, and he's a doll. She says he was really destructive and hyper as a pup (she needed to call in a professional trainer to help her out), but now Teddy's compliant, playful, and seems pretty bright. He's a heckuva guard dog, too--barks when the wind changes direction (almost!). Teddy gets along well with the older dog and cat she has too. For a small breed, I kind of like him!
