Much like the Jack Russell, the Atlas Terrier is a outgoing, devilish, merry, devoted, and loving dog. Spirited and obedient, yet absolutely fearless. Careful and amusing, he enjoys games and playing with toys. An Atlas terrier will enjoy playing with your children as long as the playing stays "friendly" and the dog does not start to fear for it's safety. They are extremely intelligent, and will enjoy trying to outsmart their owners at every turn, the will test the boundaries and push the limits, owners need to be on their toes. Much to their delight, They will enjoy training their owners, but such can lead to tragic events if the owner can not safety keep their little devil (oops! we mean angel) under control.
The Atlas breed is less dog aggressive than it's Jack Russell cousin, but they will hold their ground if tested. Early socialization can help suppress this trait. They have a high prey drive and small cute fuzzy critters will perk their interest, as the terrier mentally matures the hunting instinct will also grow, having potential victims as pets is best if they are kept separated. They like to chase and explore EVERYTHING, Be careful not to let them off the lead unless they are very well-trained.
Atlas Terrier like to bark, dig and chew, especially if bored, or ignored. An Atlas Terrier climb, which means they can climb over a fence, they also jump. This is a BIG dog in a little dogs body. The owner needs to be routine, firm, and half as smart (only kidding....), know the boundaries, before the furball, so everybody will know what to correct them from doing and when to let them have at it. The RIGHT owner for an Atlas Terrier is capable of giving direction, knows how to set boundaries, and won't mind doing daily physical and mental exercise with the dog.
