Because this is a forum OPEN TO ALL OWNERS OF ALL DOGS. NOT JUST limited to YORKIE owners only.
Because those studies are and can be relevant to small breed dogs. A dog is a dog is a dog. But breed pre-dilections needs to be researched and funded. And guess who will be doing the funding????
Because education is paramount in dog ownership, and because my passion is just that to Educate.
I truly dont care if you want to not educate yourself on recent studies, and what is going on in the wider dog world around you. But others do, and this thread will be kept open to post research on this topic, as I post research on other health concerns/topics. |
It is a yorkie bored though so maybe it should be in the off topic section because if it's not about yorkies it is off topic. You can find all the research you want but unless it has all the info and bios on the dogs that were studied it's not going to mean much. Large breed dogs are very much different then small breed dogs in many ways by how they grow, the speed they grow, and how they mature. It has nothing to do with not educating but again big dogs are different and the one that includes the small dogs is missing a lot of important info. Well it's not completely your choice if it stays open or not. I also don't think you need to talk down to me because I have a different opinion then you and yes it has it's own study's and research to it. Just because my opinions are different does not mean I'm an idiot.
