Yokel that is spot on mate!
z1000steve - I've got mine in the house, and it don't get in the way with their work ability, they are either grafters or not.
Its just as Yokel said though, if you've got a family they will get attached to the dog as it will be a pet to them, and when it comes back half lashed out of it, the odds are the pan lids will be upset and your bird will have a good moan at you.
Mine did, and still does so just a warning if you are going to have a working dog in the house like.
Family aint a problem as my gf has has terriers before with her daughters dad
