My little Italian Greyhound x Pug is hyper. That is why I got her. Her previous owner could not cope with her high level of activity (which is normal for IG's). I found that she is best behaved if she can get out in the yard and run and play. She needs a lot of time in the yard to "cool down" her activity level.

We also have a 3 year old Maltese named Romeo who is low key, well mannered (it's his breed), and soft hearted. Gizmo and Romeo are like night and day! Gizmo is extremely active, constantly on the go...and i'm not over exagerating. He bites ALL the time, on everything and everyone. We are trying to learn who he works, what makes him tick, and we still have no clue. Training is extremely slow. Poor Romeo gets the brunt end of the deal...the poor dog is forced to stay on the couch/love seat/ chair because it's the only place Gizmo cannot get on to 'play' with him (more like torture). We know that we are to be the 'alpha', and that is even an issue. Romeo learned that right off, but Gizmo just isn't getting it. I'm really concerned about his character traits/personality. The way he acts, is it normal? We are at the point that if he doesn't learn in the next month or two that we will have to give him away to someone else...which I REALLY don't want to do! _____ No virus found in this message.
