Apparently having a pure bred dog is a middle class status symbol now in Asia but folks get surprised when that cute little puppy becomes a 70lb energetic teenager. Also they typically don’t have housing with big yards to accomodate active dogs.

I have 81-pound through the roof teenager. His name is Stuart Little. Not so little anymore.
