Litter update on 28 Sept. •
Toby is still looking for his furever family! He was born on May 26, 2025. He is a fun, spunky little puppy who loves to play and cuddle when he's tired. He gets along well with other dogs and is still learning potty business. He absolutely loves being outside and exploring our backyard, he could spend hours just sniffing around and exploring. His dad is 4lbs and mom is 5lbs so Toby Jo is going to be a small guy. He's mostly fluffy hair now lol. Let me know if you'd like a video chat and meet with the sweet feller sometime! We've decreased his price from $2500 to $1500 in hopes of finding him a family! We have 4 dogs in our household so it's a little crowded right now. This is a wonderful price for a championship Biro.
