Hmmm, I don't think I could agree less.
#1 - For thousands of years the trend has always been that people on larger land plots
tended to have larger dogs. Indoor dogs
tended to be smaller. Large palaces with land often had fairly large dogs like Bourjois, Saluki, etc. The dogs
tended to suit their purpose. This
should still be the same - people should choose a breed that suits their life, instead of trying to cram a square into a circle hole. What time
has changed is that now people have dogs based upon their wants/likes rather than needs, which ties into #2.
#2 - One of my absolute biggest pet peeves is when people say both spouses have to work to make a living. This is absolutely false, but getting into this subject is REALLY off-topic and needs its own thread if we should carry on discussing.
