@weratedogs This is Cooper. He is built this way by necessity. If his legs were any longer, he would be too powerful. 13/10 (follow @coopersjournal) (Yes he’s healthy! And he’s not a mixed breed. He was tested for two types of dwarfism and both came back negative. Just in case, he’s definitely not being bred, and he gets “everything he needs to have a happy and amazing life.” He’s just 100% a happy, healthy lil guy. If you have any other questions, there’s more info on his page!)
