This dog toy is the most elegant of all the most difficult small breed has been around since ancient times and always been in fashion there is no doubt that there is a simple derivation of the big race!. of any grace or elegance, occasionally appearing through a rigorous selection that has been refined from Italy and southern France, where it was taken more, but "but in England.
