Rufus will be ten-years-old in June of 2006 and weighs 30 pounds. He is a mixed breed, Shitzu-Chow. He is patient, intelligent, loyal, easy going, and loves Josh with all his heart.
If Josh is around you will find Rufus right behind him. We have never trained him and yet he heels as if he has had years of training.
This little guy is NOT Rufus. It is a purebred Norfolk Terrier, but he and Rufus could be brothers. The resemblance is incredible.
Rufus is a really smart dog. If you look in his eyes closely, you can see the wheels turning in his mind. You gotta love him. I know that I do.
This the first meeting of the pets and they were both curious about each other, but soon decided that the other was not relevant to their life. The only time that Rufus gives the bird any attention is when Rufus has a bone and Kendi gets closer than he feels she should. He has only warned her once, but that was plenty.
