OK mate , i agree with what your sayin no doubt . The bitch i have at present is 19 1/2 tts and about 45lbs . She`s quite big for a bitch , but she`s slender and a bit leggy , the way I like em . As far as my mates concerned , its his thing , he likes em that way so who are we to judge ? he puts a lot of time effort , money and care into his dogs and would put alot of `dog men ` to shame . So yes mate , i hear ya , not my ideal either , but good for him .
