Tino is very affectionate/loving to the people he sees on a regular basis. We have always had to be very careful when new people enter our home because he will rush and nip them - despite being told “no” or scolded. He will rush dogs larger than himself and nip their throat while growling. Therefore we are very cautious when outside and walking around the neighborhood. Tino has a great ability to be patient. He will stay quiet in our bedroom and wait until we wake up before he gets up. He does not have accidents in the house. He has had both of his cruciate ligaments repaired - they tore one after the other. And one of his hips popped out of the socket during this time due to the extra strain. Tino has also developed food allergies to animal protein and is on a special diet from the vet. Despite some physical challenges, Tino remains a happy dog. He is so devoted and loving to his family members he gets lots of love and attention right back - everyone loves to cuddle him!

She is my best friend! I enjoy her so much!

He can be very sweet when it’s just his family (myself, my mom, and my younger brother), but he can be aggressive towards strangers that enter our home, despite our best efforts to train him to stop. He is very fun to play with when he’s in the mood but is not overly energetic, and he is definitely more of a lap dog. He doesn’t take to new animals very easily but he is never aggressive towards them, just wary and disgruntled. In his older age he has become slightly more grumbly, but is still generally a very good dog. Wouldn’t trade him for the world.

He is very sweet, friendly and so lovable, very smart and loving, his very protective of us and his very passionate.

Sadie Mae was an amazing dog family member. I was blessed to have her in my life for just over 14 years. never really house broke but she had a weak bladdery issues so puppy pad worked.. kind of lol. Loved to be in laps and had a way of getting in your lap and you never even see her do it until you look down and realized there a dog in your lap. Playful and sweet loving dog. Never meet a person she didn't want to say hello to. she loved to get under blankets and sleep next to me. She didn't really shed either but I do advise keeping the hair short because it does get matted easy. The hair in her pads of her feet I had to keep an eye on as well and keep that cut. It grow fast with her. around 11-12 years her eye sight started getting bad and she had breast cancer. she had surgery to remove her breast and I was told that would give her maybe 1 year and the cancer more than likely would come back in a lung per the Vet. By last year age 13 years she was totally blind but cancer free. how blessed we were. Sadly, she got sick last week, her Kidneys started failing and she had ulcers that the vet said happens in older dogs, that not much could be done for her. I made the toughest decision of my life, I had to put her to sleep. I didn't want her to suffer on my account of not wanting to loss her. She was in pain and was sleeping 23 hours a day. it was the right thing to do. my heart is so broken over this but I am blessed because she lived to the old age of 14 yrs instead of 10 years as they say she only live to. and she was a cancer survivor. LOVE AND MISS YOU SADIE MAE- 2006 to 2021
