I have learned to ignore those types of comments. We are very proud of our animals, regardless of their size/weight, etc... .

My Delilah was bought from someone that I should not have bought her from, she only weighs 35 pounds at 20 months old. Someone once told me that she is a miniature boxer. I tried to explain to them the situation and then I decided it was not worth my effort. There will always be someone that feels that they know more than we do, of course, we have to keep our ears open because they might. Delilah's parents, by the way, were 85 and 60 pounds, so sometimes nomatter how large the parents are, the puppy can be born small.

Hang in there because you will hear comments over and over again. Samson, for example, is a beautiful boxer. He is a little on the thin side. I have had comments made that he doesn't eat enough, or that he is "wormy." Verterinary care, and all other care, comes before care of myself, SO, I know he is well taken care of.

Just ignore these people...it shows that we have integrity, and perhaps they don't?

Mary, Samson, Delilah, Tyra, and Spike
