Also I would hope that not all judge 18-19 year olds as being irresponsible. I was married at 18 worked full time to my hubby through university and was responisble pet owner. Both of my children were very responsible at the age of 18. Both held jobs and did well at school and helped me with my foster dogs. When there was a poll of age of members here most were yonger. I just don't like to stereotype people even when it comes to age.

First of all when I did get my chi chi's that was the "in thing" but I didn't say that was the reason I got my chi chi's. I did my research before I got them too. And I wasn't 18 or 19 years old. I also said that "the teens I know" I am not being a stereotype when I am talking about people I know. I corrected what I said in my other post. This is what I said:

I think I was caught in the moment and said this the wrong way.

I was trying to say that young people look up to stars they see in movies or a music video and want to do what they see. Not saying that the star or who ever is not taking care of thier pup. These young people are seeing how cute the little pups are and they want one. I know some young people that have small puppies and they don't have a clue on what it takes to care for them. But if you ask them why did they get a puppy that small the reply is " I saw Lil Kim's video and she had one and I thought I would look cute." Now remember these are teens I know and I'm not saying all teens are this way just a few "I know". I just would like them to do their research 1st before making a comment they might not be ready to take on and to get a puppy for all the right reasons and not because they seen someone in a video and thought they would look cute.

I was talking about teens I know.
