Meet Buzz (VA)

Buzz (Lightyear) is a chocolate tri-color rattie or close mix with the size and proportions typical of a Type B, or Teddy, rat terrier. The healthy 5-year-old's foster mom operates a dog boarding and daycare facility, so Buzz is getting lots of opportunities to meet other dogs. The staff report that they really enjoy Buzz; he's friendly and cuddly with just enough terrier sass to make him very entertaining.   Buzz is house-trained and crate trained. He rides well in the car and does fairly well walking on leash. He enjoys the company of other dogs, but his play style is VERY forward and physical, so your other dogs, if any, would need to be tolerant of the growly, assertive friskiness that is so common in terrier breeds. Buzz's way of expressing himself in play is NOT aggression. He just "revs" up when he runs and likes to body check other dogs. You can observe Buzz in action in the video in his online album at  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/buzzlightyear  . He probably wouldn't be a good fit with cats, but since he does respect corrections from other dogs, he might be OK with a confident cat.   Buzz knows basic commands and is happy to learn more. Beefy and strong at 15 lbs., he's no frail flower. He'll be able to do just about anything you might want him to do. He's HANDSOME, and he knows it. You're gonna love Buzz to infinity and beyond.
