(also, off toic, but he isn't well today-- i think he has a tummy bug, and the vomiting has made his throat raw- making breathing a little harder- so he needs positive vibes please!)
i personally prefer the terrier face- like my wee poppets (in the avatar), but i like them a little leggy to!
anyone like leggy babydolls out of interest? |
Yeah I have read that those with shorter muzzles had more breathing problems, but I don't know if it's a real connection, or if it's a serious problem. I hope your little boy gets better soon, sending all the positive vibes I can from Arizonia. To answer your question, I love the leggy look, especially when a dog is in full coat, I think it's breath taking!
