After losing my beloved Dante (Maltese), I was in deep depression and everyone kept telling me to…read moreget another dog. It took me months to start looking. With the pandemic, it was impossible to go look at dogs at shelters and any time I saw a hypoallergenic dog on line, it was no longer available for adoption.
So I came back to my trusted Yelp to see what my other options are. Carlsbad Cotons had great reviews and photos of the happy families with their new pups. I contacted Tweed, who was very kind and informative about the breed. He truly cares about his puppies/dogs and treats them like family. He asked me lot of questions as well, along with sending me literature on the personality and care of the breed. This was all before our pup was even conceived. Talking with him gave me some peace and something to look forward to. I told him that I prefer a male and that the coloring didn't matter.
Several months later, I got an email from Tweed. In the email he introduced us to Ajax who was a tri-colored male. I instantly responded to let him know we want him. Tweed sent me an email to give a list of foods, vitamins, treats, etc. that the pup would need. He gave us the release date/time appointment.
When we picked him up, Tweed had an envelope of documentation of his injections and report from the veterinarian. Ajax was 3.5 lbs and very nervous when we picked him up as it was his first time away from what he was used to. He did vomit on the way to our house as he was car sick.
We named him Gio! It took him few hours to get comfortable in the house. By day two, he was running up and down the stairs. By day three, it was clear that this is his house! He is so sweet, playful and loving! He's got a good temperament, very smart, great appetite and is very easy to train. Total personality who loves to talk!
A week after we got Gio, my mom got sick and I brought her to my house. Gio was so loving and sweet with her and didn't want to leave her sight. Mom passed away within the week. Gio gave her love and comfort during her last days.
I am so thankful to Tweed for our Gio (Ajax). My boy is changing colors with every haircut but I don't care about that as long as he's healthy and happy!
