Same with Dobermans. And apparently min pins.
I don't want a puppy and too many "breeders" don't know their own breed well enough to breed for quality dogs, health being of utmost importance. And then there are the mills and backyard breeders which no one should ever support.
I only want to offer a home to a dog in need but it has to fit my household. I don't want a "fragile" min pin that has been breed too petite. They are sturdy, bold little dogs. I want a little pistol like Fuji was that can go on the hikes with my current dogs.
Which makes me wonder about the validity of the girl I wanted to adopt being scared is large dogs. I've never met a min pin that was afraid of any dog.
