Having always had big dogs, I figured a dog was a dog. Then a tiny teacup terrier stole my heart, and I realized that tiny dogs are different.
Dogs under ten pounds are not just smaller versions of big dogs. They have their own challenges and concerns, and a different set of common diseases and genetic problems. Some can be difficult to train. All have just as big a capacity to love as any dog.
I have nothing against big dogs. I love dogs you can pat on the head without
bending down and thump on the thorax without knocking them over. There is a wealth of information available
about dogs in general, but not so much devoted to itty-bitty dogs.
So I decided to create a resource that addresses some of the
issues of tiny dogs. I hope you find it
informative and interesting. Let me know
if there are specific topics you would like me to cover. And thanks for reading the tiny dog blog!
