She is a beautiful, healthy almost 3 pounds gal and I take it upon myself to use the attention we get from her size and cuteness to educate people on the truths about there being no such things as teacups, and the dangers and health risks of tiny dogs!
I see it as a blessing in disguise that although she is tiny, she is healthy and she has a Mommy who loves her so much that she has no problems with speaking up on the subject to whoever will listen  |
In my experience potty training is not predicated on size....but, stubborness.
My pups are piddle pad trained by their dams before the leave my house. Retraining must be done when they go home. You have to teach them you have a new spot for them to go.....
I've had some that I've brought home and they're trained within 24 hours.
Now I do have a girl that I brought home weighed 3 1/2 pounds at one year.....she is 6 years old and now weighs 6 pounds....amazing huh?, she's not fat....just grew.
