Pudge D69991 - Collie and Wirehaired Terrier Dog for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi! My name is Pudge, and I'm from Texas!

Pudge is a very good boy. Not pudgy at all, and though listed as "collie/terrier, wire haired cross, he has shiny, silky fur. His eyes are amazingly beautiful!

He is a calm pup, not barking much, not pulling on the leash, is cautious, but easy going with other dogs, and ignores cats.

He does well with children, he is not a dog that jumps up on people. He goes easily into his wire crate at night, and sleeps until morning. He immediately needs to go outside after being let out of his crate.

He does well with potty training on a schedule, but it is a work in progress. During the day, when left at home, he may cry a bit, when left alone in his kennel, but quiets quickly.

Pudge loves to be with his people, and will follow you around the house! He'll make some family happy.
