The Teddy Roosevelt Terrier is an energetic, alert but not yappy dog whose curiousity and intelligence make them easy to train. They thrive on human companionship and will enthusiastically share any activity with its owner. With their strong protective nature and well-developed pack instincts, the Teddy Roosevelt Terrier gets along well with children and dogs of similar size. I only saw "similar size" because a lot of bigger dogs do not know how to interact properly with a dog this size. They are bold with seemingly unlimited energy. It has been my experience that they are loving, loyal and playful dogs. When I'm having one of my "rainy days" and just want to stay inside, they are more than happy to cuddle up next to me.
