Tiger, who is nearly four years old, is a rare German Shepherd with Dwarfism
Dogs like Tiger, here with owner John Coleman, stop growing at an early age and face many health issues
The temperament of dwarfed dogs are typically aggressive and anxious resulting in breeders usually being forced to euthanize a puppy born with dwarfism
Typically German Shepherds with dwarfism aren’t genetically blessed with the same level of cuteness Tiger possesses, seen here with the Coleman’s other dog Lydia
Tiger (left with John) was bred by Darien and Ken Northcote (centre and right) has two brothers Arnie and Rocky who also has Dwarfism, and a sister Ruby (right)
John said they can’t get anyone to look after Tiger and have trouble when they have visitor as he is too aggressive
