I understand the difference between Animal Rights and Animal Welfare.

It is a good article, and obviously isn't targeted to solely toy breeds. I found her argument to be quite compelling for the most part. This is a highly debatable article, and this is where you would see the breakdown of the differences. Obviously, people who are worried about the details in this article in respects to the dogs earning their keep, and being a working-class dog would have a lot to pick apart from this. Animal rights activists would not condone an animal being used as a working-class dog, regardless of what the dog was primarily bred for.
