What to watch out for with miniature pups
There are some facts we have to take into account when deciding to have a mini-sized dog. Most people think that miniature breeds are perfect for children, whereas it’s exactly the contrary. Both the dog and the child can be harmful for the other one: very young children are not aware of how far they can go with dogs, and this can turn into torturing them. On the other hand, smaller breeds tend to be less calm than bigger ones. Mini dogs are more recommended to families with not very young children.
Another thing we have to consider is that small breeds are a bigger challenge for veterinarians. Also, toy-sized dogs usually have no extra weight to loose and can dehydrate faster than bigger breeds, so they need more attention.
All that is to say: if you plan to have a mini-sized breed, make sure you have the extra time and attention to give.
