The "not standard" dog is a rescue, bought at 6 weeks old from a puppymiller who didn't care enough to take the dog back when the original owner decided she didn't like her anymore, a friend of mine is fostering her, and will say the same as me about her. Does she need a good home? ABSOLUTELY! Is it her fault her breeder should have never been breeding in the first place? No of course not. Should someone love her anyways? Definately! Is she a nice quality dog?? nope.
The 2nd is bred by a friend, and owned by another, and both are proud to have his picture shown off...so no problems.
I'm not saying these "other than standard" dogs shouldn't be loved or aren't "cute" in their own special ways, sure they should and of course they are..I'm saying shame on the people who breed them ON PURPOSE because they haven't bothered to learn anything about the breed but how to make a buck on it.

And i sincerely hope that all 3 pictures you have shown are your own dogs otherwise if the owner sees this thread i think they may be a tad offended....
I think you just need to be a little more understanding.
As for looking up the breed info or standard......hey i'm English we MADE the breed heheh  |
