Toy Group - English Toy Terrier?? Table Dog but small enough for the children to lift. Nice moving dog. Wash and wear (not much grooming involved).

baahaaahaaa "please do not ever procreate!"

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Can't find enough thumbs up - you have spelled out exactly how I feel about this!

OMG - this is sooooo sad - thank you for posting! I have 6 Chi's and a shepherd at home at the moment and my first Chi is now 12 years old and looks very, very, very old somedays. I dread the thought of loosing him. :-(

Hopefully back on topic............ I have skimmed through these 11 pages, and still have no definitive stance on "Oscars Law". What I do have however is a distaste for companion animals being sold in pet shops! There is no quick fix to ridding ourselves of Puppy Farmers, as I am sure that any person who has been around in their breed can tell you - there are ANKC registered breeders within their own breed "doing the wrong thing" by their dogs. But instead of firing up at emotive rallies wouldn't it be much simpler to lobby government to ban the sale of companion animals in pet shops? Yes, Yes, Yes... it would not eliminate PF's, but instead of legislating ourselves out of breeding the next well-rounded, health tested generation of purebreds, it would eliminate the impulse buy from consumers minds in the lovely, comfortable, well-lit shopping centre with nagging kids in tow. I know - there are still the newspaper ads, and the unscrupulous online advertisers, but if you reduce the demand even just a little bit - it reduces the potential return doesn't it? Just my simplistic view of things! :D
