General question, what breed of dog to purchase, each must decide for himself. Ideal breed, in my opinion, does not exist. Each has its advantages and disadvantages - Pugs snore, the Bulldogs smothered in hot weather, Yorkshire go to the toilet itself is in a long coat and if you do not wash their hair on the face after a meal, it will stink. A toy terery do occasionally break down the front legs, but that does not mean that they do not break the dogs or the Papillon!
The fact that toy-terery elongated legs and a little spryamlen shoulder joint, so the slightly reduced cushioning when jumping. But they have broken legs mostly only during the period of 7-8 months and a half years, ie during the active change of teeth, when the growth of new, adults need lots of calcium and it begins to "leach" from the bones. Thus, calcium-depleted bones become fragile, but further calcium from the food returns to the backbone, and he again becomes stronger. Therefore, I recommend at this time more careful with these crumbs: Do not allow to jump from a high of sofas, and even more so - tables, not to encourage too violent games and "race", especially with other, larger dogs. Another piece of advice. It is noticed that most dogs break legs plump - they are heavier for their thin legs - do not overfeed your pet.
P. S. This paper confirms the information about the propensity of different breeds of domestic animals to certain types of injuries.
