Loyal Pekingese Mix - Carter

Carter

Carter is a fiercely loyal Maltese Pekingese mix - to his family - especially me. We have one 9 year old son, and we got Carter from a Breeder in Lovingston, VA when my son was 5 years old.

He loves his stuffed animals, and we constantly replace them when they are torn up. He's been fixed since he was a puppy, but does have a special "love" for his stuffed lamb. He loves to be in the middle of "play" with the kids - but is also content to sleep the day away on the couch. He's highly trainable, but you do need to establish who is "boss" as he tries to be the alpha dog in the house over the humans.

He likes other dogs that he knows well, but hates strange dogs. He is a great watchdog, and I always know when there's someone in yard (meter reading man, cable guy, etc.).

He's the small dog (14 lbs.) with the BIG DOG personality. We love him dearly and he can do many tricks.
