GOOD JOB!!!!! We searched the country over for our Toto and although she had all the qualities in keeping with her pure bloodline [except for her predicted tiny size], we weren't interested in getting involved in Dog Shows nor raising puppies! We wanted purebred because we felt that chances of health problems, etc. would be less likely. Now that she has indeed exceeded her expected size we believe that she could have been good in the "ring"! However, we, like you, are more than happy with her development and that she is the amazing little creature that she is! They DO touch lives and when we are out with her it's so amazing the way people will approach us wondering if they can just touch her! One lady asked me if she was "real"! Lots of people ask if she bites?!!
We are glad that we can confidently say "No, she will not bite you but she may try to lick you to death!" My Mother [who has lots of health problems and is approaching 90!] just adores her .... she will sit on her lap or just lay there and nap and it gives Mother so much joy! She always says "I believe she likes me!" Although, with all the expense, including the price we paid for Toto, I could've had a new car this year ...
... my husband and I wouldn't think of making a single change in our decision! We do lots of impulsive things but we took lots of time, studied books and actually made an imformed decision when we did this and we certainly "signed on" for the long haul!! She has indeed changed our lives and we haven't had a single regret ... she is our Joy!!
