I don't really care that she feels that way because I would not want him to go to someone like that but it is just really irritating that some people only care about appearance and not health.. Marco is actually my favorite now as he has the best presonality of them all but noone wants to give him a chance... Such a shame that people feel that way....I know that the perfect home will come along but I just had to vent about this....I feel better now  |
I'm sorry people are being such a pain. I think 7lbs is a nice size. I would think if her other dog is 19 lbs she would be looking for something more his size. 7 seems to small for her house to me. Why get a tiny one that won't be able to play with the other one??
In defence of the smaller yorkie, mine is 4lbs and the sire of her puppy is smaller than she is. The sire and the sire's sire are and have always been healthy though both are very small.
My baby is healthy too her only health problem is she needs to have her teeth cleaned soon
I think the problem comes when breeders ( I know a few like this) breed only for size and could care less what health problems they may have at birth or 5 years later.
I wish I new how and why 7 lbs has suddenly become a " bigger" dog.
