Is there truth about life span in relationship to size? The smaller the dog the longer the life span. If that is the case then maybe we would be better off breeding back to the standard.

I'm the question seriously. Are we talking 27"? Or taller? Right now I'm showing a smaller male in performance events, he's just over 24" tall and even tho he's 7.5 years old he still FLIES over jumps. He's agile and extremely coordinated and I LOVE IT. He thinks he's a big dawg. --Regina and PAM Monster Mike UD TD RE VER SchH2 On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 3:54 PM, sally <dan-ann@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > I think we are all in agreement - Our males and females are getting too tall > Sally > www.embroiderybysally.org ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2010.
