As a toy he is diminutive (weighing in at around 3-7 pounds and 8-11 inches tall) and devoted with an endless and abiding love for his master and family.

These dogs are good with other pets but are not good with toddlers or small children however they do well with older children. The best home for this breed would be with an active stay at home retiree or a family with a fenced in yard.

Characteristic traits are his beautiful head, his short glossy and predominantly white short haired coat, a short high-set tail and erect ears.

They are very easy to groom due to their extremely short hairs on their coat. Overall it is considered a very light shedder.
