About Pee Wee Herman

Pee Wee Herman clocks in at just 10 lbs, but the rules run thick with this small dog. At about 5 years old, he's got more personality than most dogs three times his size—and zero tolerance for people who can't take a hint. If you’re on his good side, he’ll drape himself across your lap, follow you from room to room, and sneak in a therapeutic cuddle for a treat. Try to get too familiar too fast, though, and he won’t hesitate to tell you you’re not on the list. Pee Wee runs a tight ship: no other pets allowed. He takes his starring role seriously and doesn’t share the spotlight. He's not a casual, “pet me just because you can” sort of dog, but for the right person with patience, Pee Wee offers fierce loyalty and endless entertainment. If you want a small dog with no interest in playing nice with the whole pet store, but who will go all-in for his chosen human, Pee Wee could be the one worth winning over.
