I have a friend with pories, they are great dogs. they visit the nursing home with my dogs and they do agility and rally. med low energy non shedding. hers have defended her before they were in an RV park and a strange man stated trying to get in. they dogs started snarling and chased him off. because the Pres just got one I would make sure you get one from a breeder that was breeding them before he got one.
