what are they like as pets, good natured?? easily trained???

I don't own one, but I've had them through puppy classes - very smart dogs ;-) can be too smart for some owners :( Delightful to look at - but oh dear - the squeaky bark put me right off - I spoke to some ladies on the NSDTR stand at Crufts Discover dogs - and they agreed that it does put a lot of people off........

thats the only bad thing there sqeuky bark????

For me - yes! They're a lovely size, attentive, attractive intelligent - I just couldn't live with that bark :(

worse than a yappy terrier???
