That is just so sad.
I can't understand why anyone would want to breed such tiny dogs.
Destiny was just at 5 pounds and I can't imagine breeding anything smaller than her which many do. Don't they worry about having such a small dam having a litter of puppies? How can you do it and not feel bad about it?
Of course I am not sure how small we are talking here but I have seen some breed a yorkie or maltese that was only 2 pounds, that is just ridiculous. And the prices this woman is asking is also ridiculous. Now give me someone who has a great quality yorkie or maltese with a great backround bred to the standard size and I way more likely to pay a higher price for one of them then a tiny poor bred one. It amazes me what some people get away with.
On another note, I can't say much about the tear staining. I have seen maltese whose tear staining was a lot worse. And it isn't always something that can be cleared up as easily.
But I myself can't stand looking at a maltese with badly tear staining. Which is why I am very diligent with taking such great care of Sugar and Candie's eyes and staining. I could never allow them to look like this but not everyone feels the same way I do.
