A lot of people don't realize the heart ache that can come with a tiny pup, all the things that can go wrong or happen to them. I, personally, want a sturdy dog. I'm a little gal, 90 pounds soaking wet, once a dog gets over 8 - 10 pounds it's hard for me to hold, carry and bathe them, so I have to be careful there.

i agree.. and i feel ya with the "little gal" thing..im in the same boat as you.
