When reading a growth statement, preserve the entire sentence, including any inclusion or exclusion relating to growth of large-size dogs. Omitting that clause changes the information.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|

A practical example
A comparison cell that says growth only can hide a meaningful qualifier. Paste the complete sentence before shortening any notes.
Before you decide
Never infer puppy suitability from the bag's size or breed photograph.
