Small Dogs

"also Roxyluvsme13, her dog might be dying, but just because her dog is dying doesn't mean your not allowed to think of getting another dog. Also vet bills ARE VERY expensive, all depending on what is wrong with the animal."

Buying a show quality puppy and showing a dog is MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE, I guarantee that! Think $5000 per year, to seriously show. Think $2000+ for the puppy & the first year.

I do feel that Alaska is not a priority, at all. He is old and not show quality. What will happen when the new puppy is old and becomes sick?

IMO,We have all seen these posts,and yes i have a tendacy to add my two cents ,I have been gone all day come back and have been going over posts and have noticed stories have changed,There has been alot of stuff going on between posters,alot is seeking attention and ten to one could be just stirring the pot to see who they will get a reaction from,All of us Adults have to take things into consideration,I'm not saying all the teenagers on here are bad no am i saying any are,But they are not going to see the bright side of things like we do,I am no longer going to post to any kind of threads that end up like this.It is a waist of my time my Teenage years and immaturity are over i have no energy to argue with Children.I'm not trying to effend anyone That is just how i see things.

"Miniature" and "teacup" generally are false names that BYBs use to sucker you into paying more money.

"We bought this dog from a pet store so i think we'd know."

LMAOOO... I'm sorry, but that is definitely the best quote I've seen lately!

To you, she might look "miniature", but I dare you to find a legit "Miniature Boston Terrier" breed club. There is none, nor is it a recognized breed. It is just a Boston Terrier that is under-sized for the breed, which IMO is not something to brag about, as it suggests poor breeding practices. I'm sure you girl is a great dog, but she's a Boston Terrier. (that is... if her registration is not fake, which is very common in pet stores.)

first off i wasn't bragging about her being a minature boston terrier. Have you ever seen or even heard of toy yorkies?. THERE is such a thing, but people won't find them hardly anywhere because they are so rare, same goes for minature boston terrier. she cost alot because she's rare. anytime you find a minature/toy dog. they are going to cost alot more than a regular size one would because they are rare. Most of the time when minature/toy dogs give birth they usually have 1 or 2 my dog was one out of 2 and her mom barely made it. To me is seems like you people can't stand for someone to tell you otherwise and i keep telling you she's a boston terrier because she is one. We drove two hours to get her, i don't think we would've drove so far to get ourselves a regular boston terrier. When we could've gone to our local pet store and get a regular size one.

No such thing hun, sorry. There is also no such thing as a toy yorkie either.

LOL.

I'll probably just be talking to a brick wall however, they cost so much so the byb's can scam people like you into think they're rare. They are simply poorly bred puppy mill dogs. I've heard of all the teacup breeds, none of them are reconized. Please research this!

[Roxyluvsme13]

Sorry, but there's no such thing as a miniature Boston Terrier.. Yeah, she's probably just an undersized BT, because I swear to god there is NO SUCH THING! Just as there's no such thing as a Teacup Yorkie, Teacup Pomeranian, etc.. TRUST ME. We got scammed into a whole BYB "Teacup Pomeranian" deal, and guess where it ended up? She died. She had so many medical problems, and even if she had lived we probably would have gotten her PTS because she was suffering. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MINIATURE BOSTON TERRIER!!!!

Oh you mean a RUNT haha.....
thats why your dog is smaller then the other. Its a scam to get people like you to think they are "rare" and pay more money.. Cause you know those petstores sure are smart

i don't think that minature or teacup would have had anything to do with her death. she obviously had health problems and THATS where you got scammed at was buying a sick dog

umm...ya being small would LEAD to health problems..

I don't get this whole thread. If your current dog needs the money for a vet, than a new dog is out of the question. That should be the end of this whole discussion. You sound like the type of person who dumps of an old dog at the shelter because they need room for the puppy

I agree



Sorry to maybe cause a stir but I wanted to say what I had to ..

[My Peanuts]

I'm not getting into this BT thing one way or the other, but my Pug Sylvia is much smaller than all the Pugs I've seen. We just call her a small Pug. She probably was the runt, but we paid less for her because they thought she was older than she was.
