Menchy came to us after being neglected by her owner. This sweet little terrier is so loving an amazing!

Foster Update:  We have fostered Menchy for about two days now and this is what I have learned about her so far:

• Very submissive to my 3 other dogs and gets along well with them
• Very mellow, she doesn't jump, and I have not heard her bark yet
• Very good with my kids (ages 15 and 12)
• So far no accidents in the house
• Sleeps well at night (no barking or whining)
• She will go in the kennel, with a treat, while I am away
• She is not overly hyper
• She likes to follow me around the house
• She does like to chew, so if she tries to chew something that she shouldn't, I will give her a Nylabone to teach her what she can and can't chew

Overall, I think Menchy would be good for any family.  She is shy, affectionate, and a good mannered dog.

The Terrier is a good-natured, amusing, extremely loyal and affectionate family pet, which is good with children and adults. Almost always obedient, it is always eager to please its master. It is an extremely courageous and intelligent guard dog that is very full of vitality. They are highly protective of their owners and the owner's property. It is usually very friendly, but has an uncanny ability to know when it needs to protect and when everything is okay. Excellent with children in the family, they have a high pain tolerance and will happily put up with rough child play. As with any breed, they should not be left alone with unfamiliar children. Used as all around working farm dogs, they were referred to as "the poor mans horse". They are strong and generally weigh between 40 and 70 lbs. They have a life expectancy of about 12 - 14 years.
