    Oh I know that! I would never blame a dog for such a thing..If I was being carried around all day like a toy i'd be cranky too!

    I dress Beenie in Frankie sometimes...
    Not in cute outfits, but in sweaters when it's cold.
    I don't have a problem with things like that.. If it were cold here my dogs would have sweaters too! lol

    I think all well-behaved dogs should be allowed in malls and such but I think the reason is because little dogs have hair and are hypoallergenic. Great danes, labs, etc. shed alot and people who are allergic can't shop well with them.
    Little dogs shed too Not all little dogs are hypo allergenic.

    There are some ... well, a LOT, frankly ... breeds I would never own. Not to say I dislike EVERY dog of that breed, but in general, they simply have breed characteristics I do particularly care for.

    I used to think I liked ALL breeds of dogs ... until I spent decades working at humane societies and shelters and owning a boarding kennel and grooming shop. The more I learn, the more particular I become. Now I have a short list ... quite short ... of breeds I would own. I'd still rescue or foster dogs of many different breeds, but my future "forever dogs" will be one of about five breeds, period.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Well, I never said all of them did, but Maltese's, Chi's, poodles, and other ones don't. That is why these dogs are so popular. They are less work and don't shed and not to mention Hypoallergenic.
