I agree about a professional inspection. I've had mold in rentals and it made me move, but since you're an owner that option isn't so easy. Definitely make sure it is all found and can be eradicated as I had a friend who grew up in a mold home and her whole family had to move out and leave everything behind, and she had health problems for years. It can also affect Buffy (your Bichon, right?) and your ability to sell or rent the home later.
If it wasn't for insidious mold I never would have realized my old apartment was the source of a lot of my health problems. The mold finally got bad enough we could see it on the wall after a Lady MacBeth out damn spot cleaning session, but it had come under the walls from a crap foundation and was under all the floors and carpets and up inside the walls. Sad thing was it was maybe three years old when I moved out and the management and owners did nothing about it.
