anteros_lmcApparently Archie also has a very high opinion of himself and a high maintenance attitude at times. Oh, and his grandfather was called Fabulous Willie.
The Archie in question is a Tibetan Terrier owned by Clare Balding, sports commenter and stalwart of Olympic and Paralympic broadcasting. Ms Balding describes Archie as follows:
I wonder if Archie can't help himself making strange squeaky noises when Horatio cuddles him?

The Archie in question is a Tibetan Terrier owned by Clare Balding, sports commenter and stalwart of Olympic and Paralympic broadcasting. Ms Balding describes Archie as follows:
"He is a black and white Tibetan terrier who has a very high opinion of himself...partly because his grandfather Fabulous Willie was Best in Show at Crufts."
It seems that such breeding makes for a high-maintenance attitude at times, especially when Clare is busy working!
“Archie is nearly always pleased to see me, unless he’s cross with me for being away at something meaningless in his world – like the Olympics – in which case he ignores me for a few minutes and then can’t help himself making strange squeaky noises and giving me a cuddle,” she says.
“Archie is not an heroic dog. He is not even a particularly well behaved dog but he is our dog and I love him.”

Date: 2012-09-04 12:01 am (UTC)Archie in dog form would be a terrier-- of this I have no doubt.
So what do you think Horatio would be then? *g*
Well behaved is not everything!
No indeed! I don't think anyone ever accused Archie of being well behaved...

Date: 2012-09-04 12:45 am (UTC)I think Horatio is something like a German Shepard. Very smart, very loyal, but kind of a straight-line thinker.
The terrier is also smart and loyal, of course but achieves through force of personality!
I have known both sorts of dogs well, over the years. My cousin on the Vinyard has a Westie named Henry Footbiter. (he does not actually bite feet, he just used to think he might.

Amen to that! We used to have a little white terrier cross and he was a character and a half!
a Westie named Henry Footbiter.
Best name for a Westie. EVER!
