Even then they are told the cost 'range' of our breeder - not Norman's actual cost.
When walking our larger dog with Norman kids always want to pet Norman - I tell them that the bigger dog (who is quite old and reliable) is the dog that they should pet b/c he likes kids more - kids are usually easily redirected.
I've never really felt the need to respond to the whole 'teacup', 'rat on a rope' comments...I try to remember where it comes from -> people that are not well versed on the breed and that probably are trying to make a joke (a bad joke but - whatever). |
Not so much that people have ask what I paid for my two, but when they comment on what I pay for their perks so to speak. Like I take mine to day care 2-days a week to have "play days" and to be able to get out and play without me hoovering over them in fear of a hawk getting them. And to be able to be around other furbabies their size. I have friends will ask, gawd how much does that cost?
Or the ones that say "they are only DOGS"! That one will get my blood pressure very high and will turn on the B-switch in a second.
