Toby was a special boy. His spicy personality and red freckles on the face matched his name. He was very active, confident and sweet. He had great angulations, beautiful gait, is very sound, had full dentition, scissors bite, and nice high-set ears. We saw a lot of his sire, Merkusha in him, yet Toby was more flashy, like his mom Tutta. Toby was a fantastic dog to show. He owned Kristina’s heart from puppyhood. He was also a keen courser and only one trial away from his SC title.
