HI, it seems like every day there are people asking if there dog is real / mixed etc, I know we have alot of wonderful breeders out here and I was hoping maybe someone should clarify what a proper puppy should look like, I know you can google it but maybe if a breeder puts it in terms all of us can understand!! I always question what the heck does ears set mean?

Its funny because I dont have any papers for Laci, my friend has AKC papers for her puppy who was born the same day different litters... her dog has HUGE ears a long long snout and really yucky ( in my opinon) hair, but maybe her dog is more correct then mine. I think it would be great if a breeder could describe exactly what to look for it doesnt have to be for a show dog , just maybe little tips that would /could help someone who is going to purchase a puppy!!
It just seems like EVERYDAY someone on here says is my dog a mix is it a yorkichi, etc... Id love to see a pic of exactly what to look for!!
I think my Laci is perfect , she has cute ears that stick up , a teddy bear looking face, nice teeth but Im not sure about her coat its kind of fluffy, but the breeder told me she breads for a short stout body?? what ever the heck that means...
