They are precious little dogs. But just make sure your mom knows she will have to work hard on the training. These are very, very energetic dogs! But so compact, and quite cuddly when tired, which is rare. My mother and father absolutely adore Mr. Darcy, and we do too. If it was up to me, I'd go for something a little different (and bigger of course)! It's all in what you like though! And this is the breed my mother loves. They are very smart, and with proper training, are wonderful pets. Here's a picture of Mr. Darcy as a little baby...



Let us know what the decision is. I love all dogs and Mr. Darcy is quite a character! It might be good if your mom could spend some time around several different types of small dogs, then she could be sure.
