The quiet one who will steal your heart!
Tex is the most reserved of the three brothers — and that is exactly why winning him over feels so special. Where Tom jumps in and Sawyer keeps up, Tex watches first. He takes a little longer to decide you are his.
And once he has decided? Oh, you are so loved.
He is gentle, affectionate, treat motivated, and a cuddle bug who enjoys people, other dogs, petting, and hard chew toys. Fair warning, in the best way: Tex does not sit still! He is the hardest of the three to photograph, and the easiest to laugh at.
He is the dog for someone who does not need instant, effusive affection to feel chosen — someone who understands that the quiet dog who finally leans into you has given you something bigger than a greeting. He has given you his trust — and his whole heart.
The home Tex needs
Tex does not like being completely alone; he will bark for a few minutes when left, and he startles at quick movements and loud sounds — he runs, he does not lash out — but with time and routine, that startle is softening more every day. He is still learning the leash, where he tends to hit the ground at first.
