I don't understand at all why people will piss away thousands on ugly little yapping shithead dogs as status symbols. I just don't get it. They arent cute and are always annoying as hell.
I like westies and the like. Terriors are awesome. The issue is they're really not meant to live in the house as just pets. Like BC's they need more in their lives. Lot's of crazy westies in the world, but whem you come across the good ones, you find out why they're so popular.
I used to loath a lot of toy breeds, particularly Pomarianians. Now, I would own a Pom in a heartbeat. They have really dynamic and clownish personalitys in a very compact form. A good Pom is hard to hate.
But bad ones, man, bad ones can drive you up a wall.
The one breed, though, that I hated before and still hate now are Cocker Spanials. Mind you, I hate the American Cockers, not the English ones, and yes, there is a diffrence. The English Cockers are still functional feild dogs and are still used for hunting, they are the orginals and they still can do what they were orginally breed to do.
The American Cockers where basterized into fashionable pets. They got "pretty" (although I think they are actually the uglier of the two breeds) with longer thicker coats, and they got dumb. Really, really dumb.
I love bird dogs, but they don't generally have a lot of smarts to begin with. Feathery tails and feathery brains. The ditzes of the dog world. The fact that someone took a bird dog and actually, intentionally bred it to be dumber then the orginal is total WTF
I hate the stupid, hyper, little bastards. The lot of them are dumber then a box of rocks and make Pearl look like a canine Albert Enstien.
