[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 472714, member: 2459"] Oh yeah, they are runners. LOL My Chester is a terrier mix.....Jack Russell and Rat terrier best we can tell. VERY energetic but also very loyal and affectionate. Loves to be close to husband or I or on our lap. He sleeps with us and HAS to be touching at least one of us....usually me and usually he's plastered against my back as I'm a side sleeper. But.....we also have a large fenced yard for him to run off his energy and we play with him. His favorite thing is the red dot game (laser pointer) and he'll play till he drops. Chester basically has two speeds- full tilt and sleeping. He's somewhat hard to train and seems to get so excited that he doesn't/can't listen. He's a jumper so when people come over it's a little chaotic. But....there are going to be downsides to any pet. Just consider your lifestyle and whether or not you think you can keep up with a terrier. If you can...they are great dogs. I would suggest, however, going to meet him with your son to see how they react to each other and to see if you think your son will be "nice" with him. And of course, see if the dog is "nice" to your son. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
