Arrival Story: I got him from a breeder as well. I went to pick him out when he was 4 weeks old, and brought him home when he was 7 weeks old. There were 3 males and 3 females (I think.). I wanted a male. Out of the 3 males in the litter, I liked Toby the best. I liked his markings and temperament.
Bio: Toby is a very good boy. He loves me to death. He follows me everywhere I go. He is very stubborn, though, and doesn't like to be forced to do something that he doesn't want to do. He's not a dog that warms up to people right away, like Buster was. Toby takes a few minutes to warm up to strangers, (including other dogs) but once he knows you well, he's very friendly. He barks a lot when people come to the door, but he's not aggressive in the least. It's more of a "Who are you? What are you doing here?" kind of bark. He's a very good watchdog. Maybe a little too good. When he gets excited, he sometimes likes to nip and bite. He likes to jump up as well. We're working with him on all of that. He learns certain things quickly, but not so much on others. Hopefully, he'll learn them eventually. He's my best friend, and I love him very much.

I've Been On Dogster Since:
My mommy and her dad took me to get a bath yesterday, because I peed in my crate recently, and a little bit of it got on my fur. I was a very good boy during the ride to the pet store, which is where I got my bath. I'm still not 100% comfortable in the car, but my mommy says I did great. Her dad carried me in the store, because my mommy thought I'd be more comfortable in someone's arms than on the floor. I didn't bark at the dogs and people in the store. My mommy thought that I would. During my bath, I behaved very well and didn't try to get away. I let my mommy and her dad spray me with water and cover me with shampoo, and I didn't complain at all. I tolerated the blow dryer without a problem, either. After my bath, I got weighed on the scale that was right outside the room that I was bathed in. I weighed 14 pounds! My mommy was surprised. She didn't think I weighed that much. When we got home, I jumped up on my mommy's bed and wiped myself dry all over her bed. I'm such a goofball. Now, I smell fresh and clean. My mommy is glad that I'm a dog who tolerates baths instead of a dog who can't stand them.
Since yesterday was the 4th of July and that means fireworks, Mommy was worried that every time I heard fireworks, I'd bark my head off at them. I'm a dog that barks at every loud noise I hear. But I didn't do that yesterday! There were a lot of fireworks, and I didn't bark at any of them. I only tried to hide a few times. Even though I didn't bark, I did shake and pant a lot. I pant a lot when I'm nervous, like during fireworks, thunderstorms, and when I ride in the car. Mommy was very surprised that I didn't bark at all. She was so proud of me. She thinks it had something to do with the fact that since there were so many, I was getting used to them. Also, she would reach down and pet me every now and then, to praise me for being so good. So she thinks that since she was rewarding me for being quiet, I didn't bark at all. Even when the fireworks that shake the ground went off, I didn't make a sound. Mommy was so happy that I behaved myself. I still don't like fireworks, though. Luckily, they only come once a year.
