I didn't go to Internet Tea Cup brokers and I did my research. But I still hope my dog is on the small side. Does that make me a bad person? I would NEVER imply that my dog is better b/c it's small and I will laugh if someone with a 2lb. dog implies mine is big. But who cares?
Of course I will still love my dog if she gets bigger than the 4lbs. I can easily carry. I just won't be able to take her with me as much. (so I hope you don't wish for her to be 15lbs. b/c she hates staying home!)
I too am against the trend to get a tiny dog as if it's an accessory BUT not everyone that wants a small one is doing that.
Small is more portible and for some of us that is one of the reasons we chose this breed.
Now, explain to me why ANYONE would want a Great Dane.  |
I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting a small dog! One of the reasons I wanted a yorkie is because they are small and portable.
I just think it's wrong when people don't know much about the breed of dog they just purchased! I also think it's wrong to think a small yorkie is BETTER than a big one. That's all! Actually our breeder told us Esme was going to be around 5lbs, which is her mom's size. She grew to be larger and we still love her. It wouldn't matter if she grew to be twice the size she is now. I would still pick her up and carry her to Blockbuster with me!
And actually, my husband wants a Great Dane!
He says he wishes we had a house with a big enough yard! He LOVES those dogs!
