I can tolerate some small dogs but most seem like genetically engineered rats to me...

The both of you need to stop making me laugh.

I don't much about Pomeranians except I wonder how they are still around, being so suicidal and everything.

Ten pound dog attacks 80 pound Shepherd...

I write fiction but couldn't make this up if I tried.

The Vet told me, just as an aside, that Cocker spaniels have been listed as one of the top five most vicious dog breeds. And they're so cute!

Even this vicious cocker was cute but not now what with one eyeball and everything.

What people don't understand is that many of these tiny dogs have been bred to hunt and KILL rats. That's why despite their cuteness (ugh, not for me, thanks) they are aggressive and ready to attack. Percentage-wise those fluffy cockers bite more than most other breeds-- your vet is right.

Contrast with Labs, bred to swim, fetch, and carry gently :-) Although I watched my old black Lab Studley (well-named) killed a wood-pile rat by jump-stomping on it with his 4 feet, like deer do. Boy was he proud! (and me of him)
