How is this breed temperamentally suited to children playing, guests in the home, and boredom if left alone?
TMs seem to have endless patience, especially when it comes to children, and can tolerate a lot of pestering. They can stay home alone all day if necessary with a good bone to chew on, providing they get regular attention from the family in the evening hours. A more primitive breed by nature, the TM is very “pack” oriented, thriving in the hierarchy and companionship that the pack provides. Accordingly, we strongly recommend daily interaction with another dog or “in-house” integration into the family structure. In either case, social interaction is vital for proper psychological development. Lonely, bored, solitary dogs may become destructive and/or overly needy, with tendencies towards dog aggression and problem barking. As for strange and/or new adults or children in the home, the TM will generally accept those people whom you accept if they are socialized with new people during puppyhood. A dog that has been regularly isolated cannot be expected to interact freely with strangers. Re
