Say hello to Arlo!

He settled down about 11pm and we didnt hear a peep out of him all night! He seems comfortable enough and happy to settle in his bed in the crate. Kids had a good play with him from 6.30 to 7.30 this morning and as I left for work he was having another rest.
He was the quieter one of the litter. Still inquisitive and playful, but seems to love a cuddle.
Left a 'present' in the pen over night and again this morning. I had taken him outside but he didnt do anything. Our cat is still staying well clear, but is relaxed and not hiding away petrified.

Arlo is continuing to do really well! He has mastered peeing on the pad although he is less accurate with no. 2's.
Ive been doing some clicker training and he has a decent 'sit'. I need to work a bit harder on him knowing his name.
I took him into the front and rear garden today. Train noise and cars scared him.
Our cat is also getting more and more comfortable around him too. Hopefully they will end up being good friend.

There's no doubt that some breeds have some behavioural characteristics but people vastly over estimate both their breeds individuality and their own dogs individuality. We're on our 3rd dog as a couple in 20 years and I had dogs most of my life as a kids, several breeds, and they're all pretty much of a muchness. The hair thing is a solvable issue with some breeds, after that it's down to how mu h exercise you a prepared to give it, cost and your aversion to picking up big sts.
Personally I'd go for some kind of terrier Cross from a rescue centre.
