“What about the Chihuahua?! They live 15-20 years!!! Also, my Shih Tzu will only live 4-5 years (vet estimate) due to her long list of genetic complications from her "breeder" who did not test for these before breeding. Dogs from "BYB's" and "teacup" dogs don't live long at all due to breeders who breed for "fun" or because they are "cute" and not for the right reasons. ”
