So what was your original purpose in coming here then? Surely you knew pet stores carry collars for Mastiffs as well as Yorkies? Any mathmetician is capable of averaging the heights/weights of his parents and factor in a sex differential? He'll probably be close to his father's size.

No. You did not come here to ask a serious question. You came here as a troll. Perhaps you were bored or have no real life, so you insist on gleening a bit of your own brand of fun... to see how much you can stir a pot, and incite strenuous argument. A deliberate trouble maker, you see? Some Trolls even create a second or third identity, so they can add to the fun making. Tried that yet?

Let me tell you we are very adept here at recognizing a troll when we see one. If that's true, go bother some other forum... unless you are seriously interested in getting the right answers.

One last thing, about your champion bloodlines. You can't have a Champion unless he, himself, is within the standards. His parents are not so they cannot be champions... Having a few champions scattered about in his lineage is nice, but means very little. Your breeder is breeding for size. It doesn't mean he's not personable and pursuasive, it just means he knows squat.

This wouldn't mean you don't have a nice, intellegent dog you will love. It does not mean you can't get some titles after his name. An obedience, agility, carting, herding, rally or schutzhund title perhaps? Takes work, but you could do it.

Many here have made the mistake of going to a BYB. Some will be happy to share their stories, if you decide to turn around your trolling into being an active and sincere participant with us here. We'd be glad to have you, if that's what you decide. No one hates your dog. We l-o-v-e dogs here!
