(Not arguing, just expanding on your points.  )
And consider that there are scum out there churning out these super small cuties rapidly, and charging astronomical prices...well, do you honestly think the well being and overall health of these little ones is a concern at all? I doubt it. I'm sure they don't give LP or shut a secong thought.  |
I completely agree and it makes me furious to see breeders breeding strictly for small size and big bucks with no regard to health. It also makes me furious to see ignorant people breeding their 10 pound yorkies for a quick buck with no regard to health. I guess I was pointing out that is goes both ways. Little does not automatically equal sick and big sure doesn't guarantee healthy.
