My pattie was as dopie as anything when i first got her .. and parents chose her for family, and now i realize she's great and if i had started her earlier she would be great, ive realized that she isnt dopey anymore she 3 now and so excitable and full of energy all the time, she never leaves me alone, she's a weird terrier though her best mate is a guinea pig and whenever she see's a rabbit she want to play with it not kill it or anything, she wouldnt harm a fly lol.
