 | Height: 10'
- 14"
Color: Any
color except merle or albino |
 |
Basic
Requirements: This
indoor dog does well in smaller homes and apartments, but needs
regular walks or playtime. Occasional bathing will help to keep the
skin healthy. |
 |
Temperament:
The AHT
generally gets along very well with children. One caution is with very
young children. As a puppy especially, the AHT is small and can be
accidentally injured by a well-meaning but overly enthusiastic or
careless child. Also any dog, regardless of breed, can growl or snap
if pushed too far by any child. It is important that parents take
precautions to prevent accidental injuries to the puppy, teach the
children proper handling and interaction with dogs, as well as
supervise young children at all times with any dog. This dog is intelligent, trainable and enjoys activity such as obedience &
agility.
