	My miniature Pinscher male lived to be 20 and my female lived to be 17. And a few of there pups have lived to be in their late teens as well. Many mini Pins live 14-20 years. Also Chihuahua's can live 15-20 years as well. Good list besides missing some key breeds! 7 months ago by Kacy
	If there wasn't a market, byb's wouldn't breed them. Don't buy undersized dogs. Breeders, spay & neuter before sale..Better yet, buyers check out the breed rescues & the SPCA. There are plenty of small dogs that need homes without breeding more..Have a heart over 1 year ago by Anonymous
	What about the Chihuahua?! They live 15-20 years!!!

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. over 3 years ago by Anonymous
