| KOBI Kobi is a purebred male Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. His DOB is 8/1/08 Kobi is a owner turn-in. Another familiar story of a Wheaten puppy in a home with small children and it not working out: I have a 4 month old Wheaton. He was obtained from a breeder in Reading, PA. Basically, the breeder has two pet Wheatons and has a litter or two a year for extra money. He is up to date on all of his shots but has not been neutered. We've had the puppy since mid-October and it has been a struggle. We have 3 children ages 9, 6 and 23 months. He has not bitten anyone; however, he is too much for the younger two children. He is very mouthy with the family. He does not bite hard but he is constantly nipping at our body parts including our face which makes me nervous with the children. Our previous dog (English Springer Spaniel) passed away last year at 14. The Wheaton breeder led us to believe that Wheatons were not as rambunctious as Springers. In our case, this is not true. He does seem to be a little aggressive at times. I have had some issues with him trying to play very rough with me (snarling, kicking, etc...). It may just be the breed. He has only done this with me not the children; however, it does make me nervous. Our previous dog was very gentle. He does seem quite stubborn. We also have an inground pool in the fenced back yard. He keeps running on the pool cover thru all of the mucky dirty water. Besides the mess that has to be cleaned up every day, I am worried that it may rip and he could drown. He is very sweet with anyone who comes in the house (all kisses). He has not shown aggression with anyone but me. I'm not sure if it's aggression or just rough play. Since I am a stay at home mom, I thought I could handle the puppy along with the children. I was wrong and now realize ($1100 too late) that a puppy is not for us at this time in our lives. Kobi is neutered and up to date on shots. |
