Yo, they call me Vinnie. How do you do. Let me tell you about myself. I'm a handsome young dog with a heck of a coat. It's a thick, great coat, but it will require some work so make sure you're up for that for my whole life. I'm what they like to call a "hair dog." My structure is like a Havanese, but my personality is more like a terrier. You can tell I don't know my folks so I'm a just a mix of cuteness.

Sometimes I bark at people like I'm talking to you ("you talkin' to me?") and I'm told I'm kind of loud when I do this, so consider that if you're thinking about taking me in. I do like playing with other dogs though. I know I sound like I've got a kind of tough guy image, but I'm a real sweetie on the inside and sometimes get a little cautious when new environments and new people. So...best if I have a family with just adults or older kids because I need time to acclimate and get a feel for my space.

I'm still a young guy and need training, so my new family should have dog experience and a good grasp on dog training already. A guy's gotta learn the ropes, ya know? I'm spunky and need direction, but I'm also playful and we can hang out for years together, yo.
