My little 7-pounder is treated like a dog, trained like a dog and eats like one. For the hassle of being made to listen the first time he's asked to do something as well as respect the boundaries I would ask of any other dog in my house, he gets off-leash privileges outside and the chance to explore his world in a way other small dogs can only DREAM.<br /><br />Plus, a well-trained, handle-able, mature, confident and pleasantly-tempered small dog is a true joy.

The 1936 article you quote says the Boston is #1 in AKC registrations. If you look at more recent data you find the Labrador has held the #1 spot for at least a decade, the GSD is now #2, and the golden #3, while the Boston is #23. The first small dog on the list is the Yorkie at #6. But with mixed breeds outnumbering pedigree dogs, it's hard to get a clear picture.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389321571689128858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-69495065643111553462014-04-16T17:47:47.101-04:002014-04-16T17:47:47.101-04:00The Onion had fun with this. http://pagesay.com/am...The Onion had fun with this. http://pagesay.com/americans-opting-for-small-dogs-over-babies/<br />Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339914252930042615noreply@blogger.com
