Many small dogs give people a bad impression of other small dogs. People do not spend the time it takes to train them. Then the dog is yappy and nervous and generally annoying. When someone like that gets a larger breed puppy and does not train it you have a bigger disaster. So many large breed pups end up tied out in the back yard or just fenced in then after a few years of prison the dog goes to the shelter because no one can do anything with it. Eventually it will be put down. Very few people want to adopt a large untrained dog no matter what the breed. |
