General Comments

We are the second home for our 7-year-old and have had him a year. He's gentle and great with the kids. When the kids are around, he's happy, the kids are happy, and I'm happy.

But I work out of my home, and when the kids aren't around and I need to work a normal work day -- he can get on your nerves. He loves attention. If you leave him to run free, he'll sit there and stare at you, or worse yet whine. If you keep him separated in another part of the house, you can be sure he's sitting there at the doorway just staring and possibly whining.

He also is very under-foot and trying to make a meal in the kitchen can seriously increase your stress level -- face in the fridge, nose in the dishwasher, sitting and begging for food to drop. If you close him off in another room so you can make a meal in peace -- guess what, he sits there and stares and whines.

And with those big pouty eyes, he'll make you feel guilty that you're not letting him sit in your lap or petting him all day.

He's a perfect dog for a retired Grandma or a stay-at-home mom. But if you have an active life, or work at home, my experience with this particular pet is that he'll get on your nerves.

I've had two previous indoor dogs, different breeds, and didn't have these kinds of attention problems.
