Default I introduce to you....

My dog Dexter. He's a two year old Wheaton Terrier and has the most energy of any dog I've ever owned. Apparently he's well behaved for one too. He'll actually do what he's told (sit, lay down, stay, shake, high five) and according to the vet and other wheaton owners I've talked to they don't normally do that. Very stubborn dogs.

Anyways, sometimes, for no apparent reason he decides to get up and tear around the house. These two times we were playing tag, but you'll get an idea:

yeah, that's something he's done since he was little. He NEVER touches the bottom 4 stairs of any staircase he's ever seen. So if there's only 4 stairs he'll usually clear them.

No Allergies. He's CKC registered (not that that makes a difference) and both of his parents were champs. He doesn't even really bark, which took some getting used to for me (I used to own two Cane Corsos) The biggest thing with him is that he gets VERY excited (as I'm sure you can tell) when people come to see him.

Oh man ok that was funny, thanks. Man I'd pay real money for a fraction of that kind of energy.

When I lived in Bonavista I used to take him for walks in Fish Creek Park. Assuming no one was around I'd let him go off leash. For every 5 steps I took he'd take 50. Run up about 15-20 feet and then back and forth until we got to the bend.

Looks like a solid little pooch too. Talk about being hopped up on goof-balls!

Solid indeed! He's about 45lbs solid muscle.

My friend has an Airdale Terrier, think of your dog with almost twice as much energy and almost twice the size, super friendly dogs but WOW does he have energy.
