Or do only big breeds such as boxers count?

If it poops, pees, sheds, drools, wags it's tail, turns up it's nose at dogfood and begs for people food, hogs the bed, barks, yipes, scratches fleas, bites, licks odd places and then you, digs in the yard, and costs an arm and a leg at the vet then it's a dog, tries to chase cats and fight other dogs, and tries to sniff and be willing to be sniffed despite it's dinky size, then it's a dog. Not the size of the dog but the fight in the dog. Wink

Amen, Angel.

Maggie is now 5 months old and over 7 pounds. She meets and greets other dogs at the dog park and has the utmost respect, love, and adoration of her "big brother" who is a Standard Poodle.

I'd say she is a dog . . .

My JRT (Eddie) is 18 1/2 lbs.

Don't get on his wrong side.

Don't touch his toys, his dish, or the kids.

Don't mess with his blanket either.

When my mother was alive, she had a Chihuahua and Manchester terrier mix named ChiChi. She was protective of my mother and her other dog who was much larger named Duchess (Belgian shepherd, collie and boxer mix).

Yep she could bite. Twisted Evil

Having had small dogs in my life, which my family has always prefered, it's never been my inclination to mistake a little dog for anything other than a dog, except as a fuzzy baby. Cool

This proud owner of a 10-lb Shih Tzu/Poodle mix says they do.

The Tanner? He's an uber-dog.

Still....I'm partial to Rowlf.

Yeah, I know he's not a "real" dog...but he holds a special place in me heart. Wink

Well, our dog isn't a real dog. We have tried to tell him he's a pug, but having been raised with four cats, he believes himself to be part cat, part human. He's very confused....... Shocked

Half an hour ago our westie was playing with a tall weinaraner: they took it in turn to chase each other. And they both behaved like dogs! Especially near the pool of water on the field where all the dogs go for a snif, a wee and a splash if they get their way.

You often find that small dogs have big attitude!

I'll not argue except when it comes to the Chihuahua. You have to draw a line somewhere.

My first "Job" when I was 11-12 was walking Herbie the Pug. I made 25c a day. Pugs are good dogs.

Little bitty doggies wagging their tails, little bitty doggies, smelling them smells, little bitty doggies, chewing on a shoe, little bitty doggies love to take those tiny poos! All in accordance to the prophecy!
