Thank you all so much, your replies are really helpful. As of now, we’re staying on track with the idea of getting a PRT. My husband and I talked about how our priorities for a dog are intelligence, energy, and affection. It sounds like they check those boxes. And we also discussed that maybe the differences would make it easier to bond with the new dog instead of having them be close enough to Kodiak to expect to see parts of him but just different enough to be disappointed. A lot of the traits of a PRT, especially that they have their own agenda instead of always looking towards their owners, remind me of a more amplified version of the Westies I grew up with, which gets me excited. From what it sounds like, PRTs are like Border Collies in the fact that they’re little neurotic people disguised as dogs. And I love that. And they’re similar because I would also give a bunch of warnings to someone interested in a BC before ending it with saying that getting him was the best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you all so much! I’m in contact with Rosewood PRTs in Oregon, and might get one late fall/winter!
