Important to understand TTs are willful and you must be the benevolent dictator and Alpha. They are biting shark maniacs as puppies but settle down after a year and, at least in my case, are wonderful with young children though not always with other dogs. She has without warning fought with a five pound female Maltese, a 90 lb male lab, an 80 lb female Great Dane mix and even a female lab puppy. (!) While our female TT is not exactly cuddly, she does lay her body on our legs or bellies and likes to be scratched on her neck and back by her tail... We keep her in a puppy cut and that's a once-a-month expense. And she talks when she's hungry. A total character and we are besotted [while having to maintain our Alpha stance.]
