They looked healthy, super sweet dogs, just super unkept.

Anyway, this breeder is all over the national websites for best of show, so I think he knows what he's doing. I told him I didn't want to show, wasn't going to breed, didn't want a wiener dog, but needed a lighter fella because of my back. He gave me a few options and we studied the pictures, then set up the appointment to meet the fam...it didn't take but a minute to decide, they're beautiful dogs, champion blood or not.

I do know other country's do things a lot differently and I tend to forget that and how many different places people on here are from. In the US they have I guess done more research and have more breed experts or something. Its sad for the dogs though it is a lot more dangerous for a dog under 5 pounds to have puppies. I just wanted to put the side note there sense so many people read these threads. It doesn't make your pup any less lovable or cute.
