The American Toy Terrier is not aggressive and will bond with the entire family and other pets. This rare dog breed stands less than one foot high, and makes a perfect armful for those who like to travel. These breeds of dogs are essentially free from many dog health problems associated with small dog breeds. Other than neurotic behavior, if unmotivated by regular attention and exercise, these small dog breeds are relatively disease free and if well cared for will exceed their live expectancy of 14 to 15 years. |
