The Biewer Terrier can be a noisy little dog, he is also high energy. He is wary of strangers and will display some nervousness when meeting new people or dogs. A fenced yard will keep him safe when he is exercising, but he should never be left out alone. Birds of prey can easily pick him up and carry him off. |
