Miniature Animals Make Fun Pets
December 13th 2008 22:06
Everyone loves the large and over-sized animal, but no one can resist the mini version. I mean, think about it, horses are great and majestic creatures, but a miniature horse (IE a pony) is hard to resist.
There are a number of miniature animals that people keep as pets besides your average miniature dog or cat breed. Yes, there are miniature cats. There are also different reasons why different people prefer the miniature versions, typically it's just because they're so much cuter, but in many cases it's also a space issue. Face it, the larger the animal the more space it takes up.
Common miniature pets can include:
* Miniature horses
* Miniature cows
* Miniature pigs (Royal Dandie)
* Miniature goats
* Miniature cats
* Miniature dogs
* Miniature rabbits
You'll find that different people like different things, and some of those things include mini versions of the standard sized animal. There are also a number of different reasons to have a miniature cow as a pet or a miniature horse.
Just remember that miniature versions will come with a higher number of health problems, but this is not always the case, but in the case of dogs, you will find that the mini versions will almost always have more health complication than their larger counterpart.

QUOTE ME NO QUOTES!
I can't help thinking, miniaturising farm animals for one's personal pleasure is a bit off. Although, one can easily argue it beats killing them for food!
I have a pug, just turned 15 and living the high life, but they are an extremly old breed, tey go back directly as a breed to 300BC, their forebare to 3,000BC, so, they have been a small dog for a very long time, which means they are well adapted to their current status, but don't like the heat at all.

Fog, there are actually many people who have say a few acres of land but would love to have a heard of cows or horses or whatever, so instead of packing them in a small area, they can get mini cows or horses, etc, and they would be able to live happily without being packed.
Tracy, have you every heard of a pot belly pig? Those are actually miniature pigs, as the regular pig can weigh up to and over 1,000 pounds. There are jsut a few breeds of miniature cats, though.
