Is the TRD a good house dog?
The TRD is a very clean dog with no odor due to its short coat. They do not salivate a lot or drool. They are generally easy to house break. I put paper under my dog the first time and she never missed again! She was exceptional, but to date I have never had any substantial problems paper training a TRD. They will however take over the most comfortable furniture in your house. They will claim your bed, couch, or chair, unless you discourage this habit from puppy hood. They are good sized dogs, not so small as to be underneath you, not to big that they are constantly in the way. Their presence is formidable enough to intimidate a prowler. Their upright tail wags in a short radius, not knocking over your house plants or fragile items.
