DOGS - TOY BREED

PLEASE READ THE RULES - if you do NOT identify the breed that means you are relying on me to do so. In which case I will delete any DOG that does not meet the requirements.

PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE ENTERING YOUR WORK, CHECK THE BREED (refer to the list below) DOGS ONLY:

ONE OTHER THING TO REMEMBER ISTHAT IF I CAN'T SEE THE DOG THEN IT'S NOT THERE. DELETION TO FOLLOW.

ONLY PUREBRED DOGS - NO MIXED BREEDS ALLOWED.

The diminutive size and winsome expressions of Toy dogs illustrate the main function of this Group: to embody sheer delight. Don't let their tiny stature fool you, though - - many Toys are tough as nails. If you haven't yet experienced the barking of an angry Chihuahua, for example, well, just wait. Toy dogs will always be popular with city dwellers and people without much living space. They make ideal apartment dogs and terrific lap warmers on nippy nights. (Incidentally, small breeds may be found in every Group, not just the Toy Group. We advise everyone to seriously consider getting a small breed, when appropriate, if for no other reason than to minimize some of the problems inherent in canines such as shedding, creating messes and cost of care. And training aside, it's still easier to control a ten-pound dog than it is one ten times that size.
I have noticed a sudden influx of 'movie posters' where the dog is 'added' .. not a good idea and not acceptable.
One other thing - doing repeats of the same dog in different colors will not be acceptable. Pick your best and submit that - all others will be deleted.

The ACCEPTABLE breeds according to the AKC are as follows:
Affenpinscher, Brussels Griffon, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chihuahua, Chinese Crested, English Toy Spaniel, Havanese, Italian Greyhound, Japanese Chin, Maltese, Manchester Terrier, Miniature Pinscher, Papillon, Pekingese, Pomeranian, Poodle, Pug, Shih Tzu, Silky Terrier, Toy Fox Terrier and the Yorkshire Terrier.
All mediums welcome. And if the breed does not fit the guidelines, it will be deleted without further notice.

This group was started on September 3rd, 2010.
