Terry the Terrible Terrier

One of the most impressive puppies on the planet at the moment is Terry Nixon.

He has a wicked sense of humour, can't resist a chocolate cake if it only requires a cupboard door to be opened, loves a fresh bone and chases birds across the back yard ("Where's the Chook?") as well as helicopters and high flying aircraft ("Where's the Big Chook?")

Only defecating when outside the family property, on a walk, in public view; he loves the way the frazzled walker dives on his steaming exhibit with multiple plastic bags, asbestos gloves and ingot-lifting tongs. It makes his day.

Mostly well-behaved, he loves his back being scratched, watching THE BILL ... and suffers Sandy's amorous advances. The Late Dr John Nixon remarked about the 'interesting couplings': "What did you expect? They have been sleeping together all their lives. I would have been concerned if they didn't turn out that way."

He divides his time between sleeping eating, discussing heartworm with Sandy and patiently waiting for his humans to recognise his rightful status.
