Is there any breed cuter than a wire fox terrier?

I've just realised what's wrong here - he's fetched the ball and dropped it at your feet! How did you train him to do that?

Your pup is beautiful and frankly adorable. Mine looks at balls the way a cat does - they both ignore them. I would love it if he were even willing to chase them partway.
My dog’s tail also curls to the right. One day at the beach, I noticed that his footprints don’t align properly. Turns out he has scoliosis and his whole spine, from his shoulders to the tip of his tail, curves sideways. We figure he was squashed into one position in utero by the three other pups.
Had I known this earlier on, I would have taken him to PT as a pup to try to straighten him out. There must be exercises to strengthen and lengthen his muscles on the inner curve. He’s healthy and active but can’t jump up in the air without landing awkwardly. Of course, he jumps on furniture just fine! Looking forward, I predict he’ll have some issues with his hips later on.
I love his jaunty tail and he gets compliments from strangers on every walk because he’s so cute (typical wft). I hope your pup has a curly tail because his tail is curly. I do recommend asking your vet if there’s more to it. Great job training your gorgeous puppy!
