They are 8 to 20 pound dogs that people have either abandoned or given to the shelter due to the size and the fact they never wanted anything but a fashion accessory to begin with. The small breed dogs are being mass produced at such a rate and discarded almost as fast because so many are produced by thoughtless money hungry people who just want to make some fast and easy money. |
I know what you where trying to say. But the standard on the AKC website says not to exceed 7 pounds not 4 to 7.
