We imagine that when you think of guard dogs, the Tottie is forefront in your mind. Well, at nearly 27-inches tall, they can be imposing, especially for strangers.
However, they make a calm, confident companion for any family. Make sure to train and socialize your pup early, as to not be overly territorial.
