Lots of people push their dogs around in strollers
I'm assuming there are tons of small dogs because everyone lives in apartments and no one has a 2500 sq ft house with a backyard?
Is your dog considered MASSIVE by the Nipponese?
generally, yes. she is a 50lb pit. luckily there is no breed stigma here, but all the housing agents made a big deal about her size.
most dogs are toy or teacup size up to shibas (mean median mode is shiba)
we live in a neighborhood with larger houses and with small yards, so there are quite a few bigger dogs around here. there are a couple big goldens we see regularly and there is a house that has 3 enormous berneses.
