It was during an exhibition in Luxembourg where we presented our Yorkshire CH. Hunderwood Best Hopes we discovered this superb little breed that is the English Toy Terrier. This small dog while "delicacy" by its fine frame but also while speed "by its movement so fast knew how to seduce us from the first glance. We had just found" our "little dog so unique and without grooming! After research and many exchanges with Gérard Maurice "Du Clos Saint Symphorien" we found our princess. It was the English Nick and Andy from the famous Witchstone breeding who trusted us by agreeing to confide in us Witchstone Bright Star who joined our home in October 2011. She was immediately accepted by the yorkis of the house and made her place among them without any difficulty.The great adventure of the English Toy Terriers at Of Tall and Small could begin.
It was very slowly that "Toy" (it's little name) started the exhibitions and obtained very good results and many praises from the judges. But it was on Sunday October 14, 2012 where the National Breeding Exhibition organized by the breed club (CFAT-DT) took place which counted for the title of Champion of France that WITCHSTONE BRIGHT STAR entered in the Intermediate class and which competed with 3 other ETT won the Palme. Judge Mr Istas very much loved Toy and awarded him the CACS and the BEST of BREED. Our joy did not stop there since Mr. Thual judge of the final ranked her 3rd in the Best In Show. What a pride to see Toy climb on the 3rd place of the podium at only 15 1/2 months a big thank you to Messrs Istas and Thual for their judgments. Thanks also to CFAT-DT for organizing this day where we were able to meet part of the club team for the first time. Since Toy gave birth to a first litter and it is Saint Lazar's Charlie of Gérard Maurice who is the happy dad. From this marriage were born beautiful babies 2 girls stayed at home Imagine Romance and Irresistible Star. Their sister Ideal Bright Rythm went to join the troop of Tibetan Spaniels at Maryvonne Chauvat's "Eden of Charm". All three have taken over from Mom in exhibitions.
Another Toy's daughter is at home now, she is from marriage to Saint Lazar's Duke. These marriages with two magnificent American males allow us to work our pedigrees and try in all modesty to make our contribution to the succession in France of this marvelous little race which is the ETT.
We are proud to announce that Toy and her 4 daughters (from two litters) are all French Champions.
In 2016 after a stay in England to compete in the famous CRUFT'S with "Rafale" which won a first place, we acquired a 100% English male "Twowayshouse Tom Pouss "Tommy". We want to keep the English type thinner than the American type even if the latter is very pretty. Whether our puppies are English or American they will make you fall in love, but above all they will put animation in your house. A real little terrier who loves to work out and will appreciate walks, agility but also a wonderful little apartment dog who loves his comfort.
