About Nipper

Nipper is a love bug! This 10-lb. 2-year-old Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix (heavy on the Chihuahua) wants nothing more than to be with you, either in your lap or helping you in some fashion. Indoors Nipper's special brand of assistance consists of offering company while you watch TV, read a book, or work at your computer. He will also provide security detail, making sure your vacuum cleaner doesn't misbehave when it's turned on. Outside he will chase pesky squirrels for you and perform neighborhood watch, alerting you with his bark to joggers and UPS deliveries. (He will hush if you tell him, but he feels it's his duty to provide security services.) Nipper is house-trained if kept to a schedule for potty breaks and feeding, and he has mastered the dog door for excursions to the backyard. He's also crate trained and will sleep in his crate at night, but he'll readily join you in bed if you prefer. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home, but because of his high prey drive he would do best in a home without cats, pocket pets, free-range chickens, or small children, who might be frightened by his urge to chase them. He likes people and will be friendly with them if they're introduced slowly, but you'll always be No. 1 in his eyes. Nipper is quite excited about the thought of having his very own person to love and serve.
