I have a 6 month old Teckel and wouldn't be without her. She lives peacefully with 5 GSP's, adores adults and children and so far hasn't bitten anyone. She has an excellent nose and has scored 100% so far with her deer tracking. She is very possessive of her deer but she only gives a growl and the other dogs leave well alone. We have no trouble taking anything off her. I also take her picking up with me, she gets on well with all the other dogs at the shoot. She does guard the pile of birds my dogs bring back but strangely enough only from her own pack and not other dogs. She does not like to be left out of anything that's going on but if left does settle happily as she has plenty of company. Do get one they are such fun characters with endless energy.
