Her mother is still alive and so is her father they are 12 years old.
So I am wondering if the smaller size also takes away from the life span
Would be interesting to hear of some golden oldies in the smaller size.

I have talked to 2 different vets about this, and they both agreed, that most of the time, the tiny ones do not live as long as the ones that are bigger..this is why, although the little ones are cute, I don't want a little tiny one..I want to have them with me as long as possible...and there are people that breed them at 3 lbs. oh my, to me, I love my dogs too much to take these chances..
