| While Penny was living in Turkey, she was asked to judge a dog show. There was a hairless little dog. When the handler put the dog on the table and Penny approached it, it climbed up her front and gave her a hug. The rest, as they say, is history. |
| Thank you for your interest in our dogs. We hope this information will be of help to you in deciding if this is, indeed, the right breed for you and/or your family. During the last 28 years here at JATO, we've developed a unique method of rearing puppies. This combines environmental enrichment with constant human interaction, resulting in a confident, loving companion animal, well equipped to become a contributing member of your household.

| After reading this website, if you feel one of our puppies will suit your family situation feel free to call or email us.. We will make an appointment for you and your family to come meet the dogs here and discuss further questions and concerns in depth. Come see how we co-exist and decide whether or not you can envision yourself and your family living with one (or two, not at all uncommon!). |
| WE BREED occasionally here. The time and effort invested in each litter precludes having more than one at a time. We do NOT accept reservations since we cannot guarantee a puppy with the correct temperament for your particular home. We will call you when the bitch has been bred, then again when she whelps to let you know what we have (coat and sexes). |
| YOU ARE ENCOURAGED to come meet the babies at three weeks if you like and definitely at six weeks; then again at 10 and twelve weeks. Litters are graded at fourteen weeks and final determination (pet or show and which puppy suits your family) is made at that time. If we do not have a puppy of the sex and coat you wanted and that we feel will suit your home, you will be referred to appropriate other breeders, or you may have to wait for another litter. |
| AGAIN, OUR THANKS for your interest. We look forward to hearing from you in the future. |
