Thanks! Deelight, he''s a mixed breed (what we call ''local'' dogs, here)- no special pedigree, although one of his parents may have been a Doberman, I think. He was given to my parents by a friend of my father.
Yes, he is quite the little terror...but such a cute terror he is.
Purrfectpear, yes, he loves to bite shoes - he has a old sneaker which is his favourite toy right now. I''m kind of enabling the ''biting'' by always playing tug-of-war with him, and by sticking out my toes for him to have a chew..
But he''s so much fun to play with, I can''t help it. I just have to hide my shoes when he''s around...
