But the pups who are bred from healthy standard parents can be very healthy dogs. My Tia is a robust little pony! She's so bouncy and frisky -- not a sick bone in her petite body. |
Right! And poor breeding can lead to health risks no matter what size dogs are.
My baby is huge compared to yours (3.5lbs. at 9 months) and she is very healthy too. Hasn't been sick or to the vet except for shots and spaying. well, she does get an upset tummy when she eats too much carpet crud
